The Big Sky Conference didn’t even go that far when it honored a transgender woman as its “Female Athlete of the Week” in cross country. The student’s university was even more circumspect, simply identifying the transgender woman as “Athlete of the Week.”
June Eastwood, formerly known as Jonathan, “finished second in a field of 204 runners at the Santa Clara Bronco Invitational” and helped the University of Montana finish seventh as a team, the conference said in a press release. Both pages for “June” and “Jonathan” remain live on a University of Montana Athletics website (source of collage, above).

Big Sky Conference names male runner ‘female athlete of the week,’ leaves out he’s transgender

I think men should win all the women's athletic awards. Maybe that would shut up the folks that think gender is fluid.

Well they are definitely torn. Do I root for the transgender that's kicking all the girls' asses?

Interesting thought. On the one hand, having women's only sports itself is illiberal.89Hen wrote:FYPkalm wrote:

So is allowing girls to compete in boys HS sports when there's no girls team (like when Shelly Triplett, Kirk's little sister, beat me playing #2 for the Pullman High boys golf team ) but not allowing boys to compete in sports like girls volleyball.
Is recognizing differences between the sexes liberal?

How much is a shit ton? IMO it's a liberal position to blur the lines of gender which has created this situation of men winning female contests.

I think it's a left position but not a liberal one. Most people I know (men and women, liberal and conservative) recognize the differences and are comfortable with that.89Hen wrote:How much is a shit ton?

As Kalm says it's a left position. The irony is that these same people decry the right for denying the science of climate change but they deny the science of biology.89Hen wrote:Most people that I know also recognize the differences and are comfortable with that.

Re: Transgender Wins Big Sky Female Athlete of Week Award
It's going to be really interesting when a couple of transgenders take away spots off the USWNT or if the USWNT gets run off the field by another team with a transgender or two on the roster.kalm wrote:Just when women’s sports is making inroads, they get crushed by the male body.Baldy wrote: The patriarchy is destroying women's sports, and the progressive left is cheering from the sidelines.

Re: Transgender Wins Big Sky Female Athlete of Week Award
The day a person who was born female plays in the NFL or NBA is the day I say biological/birth sex doesn't matter in sports.
But it's always biological men identifying as women who dominate women's sports, not the other way around. Curious.

Re: Transgender Wins Big Sky Female Athlete of Week Award
That will happen. Nancy Lieberman nearly played in the NBA. But it won't happen because they are better than their competitors. It will happen because they are adequate and the publicity would draw in the portion of America that don't pay much attention to sports.Pwns wrote:The day a person who was born female plays in the NFL or NBA is the day I say biological/birth sex doesn't matter in sports.
