‘Follow the science’: News outlet claims ‘limited evidence’ men have physical advantages
NPR sparked mockery Sunday when it tried to claim that there is “limited evidence” of men having significant advantages over women in sports.
The taxpayer-funded news outlet made the claim amid growing backlash against globalist demands to allow men to compete in women’s competitive sports. Far-Left policies promoting gender disorientation allow men who claim to be women to compete against females, who often lose the titles despite years of intense training.
“The international governing body for track and field will ban trans women athletes from elite women’s competitions, citing a priority for fairness over inclusion, despite limited scientific evidence of physical advantage,” NPR tweeted Sunday.
While scientific evidence is often unnecessary to prove that which the eye can see, there are nevertheless several studies which show that even men who take estrogen are physically superior to their female counterparts.
But the news outlet which demanded those who question the COVID-19 shots be censored because of “misinformation” has once again ignored the scientific evidence.
After strong backlash, NPR issued a correction, but did not recant its claim.
“Correction: An earlier tweet incorrectly stated there is limited scientific evidence of physical advantage. Existing research shows that higher levels of testosterone do impact athletic performance. But there’s limited research involving elite trans athletes in competition,” NPR wrote.
Last week, a man who changed his name to Tiffany Thomas said he felt like a “superhero” after winning first place in the Randall’s Island Criteriums women’s cycling tournament. He was photographed along with the two female runners up, both of whom were smiling and holding bottles of champagne, appearing proud to have lost the title to him.
On Sunday, Disney-owned sports network ESPN celebrated Women’s History Month by honoring a man who calls himself Lia Thomas, who grabbed first place in the NCAA swimming tournament last March.
“Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title,” tweeted Riley Gaines, who tied with Thomas for fifth place last spring. “He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman.”
Gaines and her teammates were forced to share a locker room with Thomas and be exposed to his genitalia, without warning or say in the matter.
“If I was a woman working at ESPN, I would walk out,” Gaines added, calling ESPN “spineless.”
Females who object to being forced to compete against men are ousted from their sport. A Vermont Christian school this month was banned from participating in girls state basketball tournaments after the players refused to play against a male opponent.
Some women, rather than fight, simply quit the sport. Champion cyclocross rider Hannah Arensman announced this month she is quitting cycling after losing to men.
Arensman explained that she “came in 4th place, flanked on either side by male riders awarded 3rd and 5th places.”
“My sister and family sobbed as they watched a man finish in front of me, having witnessed several physical interactions with him throughout the race,” she said in a statement.
“I feel for young girls learning to compete and who are growing up in a day when they no longer have a fair chance at being the new record holders and champions in cycling,” she wrote in an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court to support a West Virginia law banning men from women's sports.
“I have felt deeply angered, disappointed, overlooked, and humiliated that the rule makers of women’s sports do not feel it is necessary to protect women’s sports to ensure fair competition for women anymore,” she added.
Reka Gyorgy, a 2016 Olympian and two-time ACC Swimming champion, said she “watched Lia Thomas from the pool deck win a women's national title that I deserved to be in because the rules in place did not support biological women.”
Disc golf world champion Catrina Allen said: “As tears ran down my face, during an elite series tournament, I realized that even though I have a strict practice regimen, workout plan and am known as a fighter, there is no outworking the physical advantages that a male has.”
NCAA volleyball player Macy Petty: “At one of these tournaments, with several college recruiters watching, I had to play against a boy at a girls' volleyball tournament. While trying to evaluate our skills, the recruiters instead watched this athlete repeatedly slam the ball in our faces."
