We have referred to America’s third-oldest continuously-published daily newspaper as The Philadelphia Enquirer, as RedState writer Mike Miller mistakenly referred to it, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I sometimes think of it as very apt. The newspaper, the past winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, has gone all-in on promoting the ‘transgender’ agenda, and once again they’ve published a sob story about a mentally-ill boy who thinks he’s a girl.
Parents of trans Colonial athlete speak out against PIAA rule change: ‘Having her play sports with males would be cruel’
The parents of a Plymouth Whitemarsh High School student spoke out against a rule change barring their child and other transgender athletes from competing in girls’ sports.

The parents of a transgender student athlete at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School spoke out Wednesday, telling the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association that participating on girls’ sports teams was critical for her well-being — and that of other transgender children.Beth Bourne tweeted this photo of Sean “Luce” Allen.
Appearing before PIAA’s board of directors in Mechanicsburg — which last month changed its transgender athlete policy to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order on “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” — Sarah Hansen said her child, a senior who runs track and field in the Colonial School District, had grappled with her identity for years.
“Since 15, we’ve been on a journey for her to transition to the girl that she always has been,” including psychological evaluations, medical appointments and testing, and hours of therapy, said Hansen, who was accompanied by her husband, Tom.
“My child is a female in her heart and soul, and according to her medical labs. Having her play sports with males would be cruel,” Sarah Hansen said.
The problem for Mrs Hansen and her son, Sean “Luce” Allen, is that whether he feels “female in her(sic) heart and soul,” he’s actually male in his body. He can call himself “Luce” all he wants, but he’s still a male. Click on the image of young Mr Allen, and you’ll see he’s still very male.
If I, as a Star Trek fan, found some quack plastic surgeon to give me pointed ears and started to claim that I was a real Vulcan, would you accept that, or think I was off my rocker?
Reporters Maddie Hanna and Gillian McGoldrick included a paragraph making a curious argument:
(Kristina Moon, a senior attorney with the Education Law Center) read a statement from an unnamed teammate of Allen’s, who said that “I have always been in close competition with Luce. Some reps, I’m faster. … I have never felt like any of my meets or races have been unfair because of Luce’s participation.”
Simply put, Miss Moon is arguing that Mr Allen should be allowed to race as a girl because he just isn’t that good, isn’t any faster than the real girls. Does that mean that people like Will “Lia” Thomas should have been completely disqualified after his performance in the Zippy Invitational? What about Brayden “Blaire” Fleming, who wasn’t as overpowering but was still the top player for San José State, and was good enough at his disguise that he ‘passed,’ even among his teammates for several years? AB Hernandez, a trans-identified boy, set the Division 3 Girls’ triple jump meet record at the Ontario Relays meet in Southern California with a 40-foot triple jump, 8 feet longer than the 2nd place finisher, the top finishing real girl (32’3”); I guess that he should be disqualified.
Today’s left seem absolutely determined to take the furthest left position possible on anything even remotely related to sex, because otherwise they’ll somehow justify and enable us evil, reich-wing Republicans, but just how silly is it to no longer be able to tell the difference between males and females, an innate ability that every bord, every reptile, and every mammal other than human liberals has.
