I find it very strange that she went from donavan brown,to veronica garcia.I get that she would want to change her first name,but it seems she's adopted a whole new identity.
Because it's mental illness that is being celebrated in this particular scenario over and over and over again.
Are there parents in this situation?
Unfortunately, the parents of the male athletes in these cases appear to have raised their sons to be self-absorbed, entitled narcissists who feel it's their right to do as they wish and cannot accept being told "no." Many of the parents of these boys are messed up themselves, especially the moms. What's more, many of their sons have autism, autistic traits, ADHD, OCD, problems with emotional self-regulation and a host other "issues" that have made it difficult for their parents to do a good job raising them.
Today's gender identity ideology reinforces the negative, anti-social personality traits these kids already have a tendency towards due to their innate temperaments and their home lives by encouraging them to develop and cling fast to false, inflated conceptions of themselves that are based on fantasy and have no connection to objective material reality.
Many of the young males who are increasingly using gender identity claims to horn in on girls' and women's sports seem genuinely to see themselves as heroic crusaders bravely standing up to haters and "phobes," striking a blow for civil rights, and personally triumphing against what they've been told are all the unfair odds stacked against them.
The male athlete who's the topic of this thread seems to be a case in point. After he won the Washington State Championship in the girls' 400 recently, Dysetat asked what was going through his mind as he crossed the finish line. The teenager laughed and said that he ran to victory in the girls' 400 he was
"pretending I was running no-man's land in a World War One trench, you know?"
East Valley's (Spokane) Veronica Garcia ran 55.75 seconds to win the 2A girls 400-meter final at the Washington State Championships at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma, Wash.
If they are so accepting of this, why did that white woman get in so much trouble a few years ago for presenting herself as a black woman? She felt that was who she was meant to be. Yet she was chastised, publicly shamed and cancelled.
Why was she not strong and brave and supported by the liberal masses?
Is it not the exact same thing?
Actually, a junior professor in a philosophy department published a paper titled "In Defense of Transracialism," making this very argument (that if race and gender are both socially constructed, as many liberals believe, why do we accept transgender but not transrace).
There were calls for her paper to be retracted, letters of denunciation, etc.
She would make for a good transphobic LR poster, a creature that gets very excited extrapolating other people’s beliefs using silly analogies without fully understanding them in the first place.
It’s okay though because HSS is just an academic circle jerk for the most part that the real world rarely cares about.

When both veronica garcia,and aayden gallagher start their hormone treatments, theyll be much slower than they are now. Aayden especially,will be interesting to watch. He/she ran 52.8 and 23.8 without even going all out,and after just 3 months of running.She looked like she could run much faster,but was holding back.

Did I say she got "cancelled?" No, I didn't. I said that she received letters of denunciation, and the journal was asked to retract her paper. This is a case of an attempted cancellation backfiring. Many people aren't as lucky as Tuvel and don't work in fields that prioritize truth and competence over optics. Aside from that, people who have empathy do not love to be treated this way, even if the experience leads to positive outcomes. Public shaming is actually very painful and has driven several people to suicide. In other words, social death is more existentially threatening to many people than actual death.

But GD made no mention of Tuvel "being cancelled." GD said

Also, one of the reasons Tuvel's career wasn't scuppered by that one paper might be that she generally seems to be on board with gender identity ideology and the new kinds of entitlements it creates for males willing to claim a trans identity.
Tuvel made this clear in a discussion/debate she recently had with Kathleen Stock, a British philosopher who was hounded out of her job as a professor at University of Sussex due to a vicious campaign against her that trans activists carried out for years. In their talk together, Tuvel went to bat for men being able to use gender identity claims to get into female spaces, even prisons, and claimed that this "hasn't hurt anyone."

So NEITHER ONE have even started any hormone treatments. They were able to show up as straight-up actual men and run a girls race.

With these boys' and young men's delusions of "gender" typically come delusions of grandeur too.
No man's land.
Oh bro is funnnnnny.......
And if it goes over everyone's heads that this comment is completely making a joke and mockery of the girls he's obliterating, but you still sympathize and fight for him, then this explains why the world is on fire. There it is.

Your "real world" where everyone is whatever they say they are?

And some of you support this? How?
In some states,they can,and do. Apparently in high school all an athlete needs to do is say she's trans,and that's enough.

If you think I am sympathizing and fighting for this runner and others like him, you've really misread my comments.
Also, the male athlete's comment that he crossed the finish line to win the girls' 400 state championship
"pretending I was running no-man's land in a World War One trench, you know?"
didn't just strike me as a cocksure male "completely making a joke and mockery of the girls he was obliterating" in the girls' race he had just won. The comment also struck me as a coddled contemporary teenager's obvious attempt at making a joke and mockery of what soldiers who fought in the trenches during World War I went through.
I thought this teenager was throwing shade on the millions of young males near his own age who showed enormous bravery and endured incredible hardships and horrors in World War I by likening their experience in trench warfare under machine gun and artillery fire to the painless, easy time he had scoring a victory over girls in a short race run in a stadium in conditions of total safety more than 100 years later.

Whether he meant to or not, the point this kid ended up making is that in his view being a soldier in the trenches of the Somme, Verdun and other WWI battefields was no more difficult than taking a proverbial "walk in the park."
What's more, this young runner chose to make this comment on Memorial Day weekend! Yikes.

His interview is telling, "...another day in the office, um, nothing special for me."
Protects women's sports.
That's what I thought....I mean...you win a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP and it's just another day at the office? Wow....stealing dreams from deserving female athletes.

Oh hey sorry- that was not directed at you at all. You seem to be one of the minority that actually sees what's really happening here.
Just piggybacking on what you posted.
No matter how you look at his comment, it's crazy disrespectful.
But GD made no mention of Tuvel "being cancelled." GD said

In their talk together, Tuvel went to bat for men being able to use gender identity claims to get into female spaces, even prisons, and claimed that this "hasn't hurt anyone."
But GD did stupidly dig deeper by implying that Tuvel suffered some type of “social death” that is supposedly more threatening than “actual death”. That makes no sense. No one will pick actual death compared to Tuvel’s cushy fate.
Neither the “transracial” stance that GD implicitly promoted nor anything it said subsequently makes any sense.
This whole thread that keeps up with these kids is ridiculous and just because some swimmer has an axe to grind. The bottom line is one of these kids is going to be hurt maybe killed by some bigot. I read that someone was killed just for hanging a Pride Flag on their own property.

.The religious fanatics are making America closer to some third world African or Muslim country with this intolerance! Why is this thread starting to make me think about the world in V for Vendetta and Valerie's letter.............................
so twice this year? 50 states probably average 2 divisions per state and at least 10 events means there are over a thousand ‘state champions.’
to me less than 5% is still pretty rare, but less than 1% id definitely consider to be rare so even if it happens 10 times a year it’s rare.
Plus, I’m nearly positive every incel on this thread suddenly interested in protecting women’s sports is also posting about how Caitlin Clark is horrible and Harrison Butker was right, and women’s only useful purpose is pregnant making y’all a sandwich.
I’m sure there are some women who care, but almost all of the women I know are a lot more worried about the haggle of rapey incels on this board than they are about a trans woman beating them at a race.
What particular statement by Harrison Butker did you find offensive. The only one I really disagreed with was the part about answering to Jesus (being that I am an atheist). I do agree on your first point about the exaggeration. I do think the trans issue is beyond just a simple "cultural" issue though. We now have laws which violate freedom of speech and what I would consider protecting trans or Children. People who believe you are bigoted because you have a concern for children's well-being or that the sanctity of women's competition is being violated, need to go back to a time when people were being murdered or lynched because of their group identity. There are plenty of liberal or independent thinkers who agree -- JK Rowling and Richard Dawkins come to mind. Both who have been "canceled" because of it. The idea that this kind of woke thinking is just a cultural aberration is causing a major rift to democracy. People need to stand-up against it and make sure that it is known that the vast majority of people don't agree with this kind of thinking.
