It was just a single sentence in a Newsweek article on the #woke — whom I regard as just boneheadedly stupid — boycotting an event because Bethany Hamilton was competing:

Bethany Hamilton’s Transgender Remark Sparks Boycott of Women’s Event

Pro-surfer Bethany Hamilton’s past comments about transgender individuals in sports have sparked a boycott of an upcoming women’s event in Wisconsin.

Over the past several months, there has been ongoing controversy surrounding the inclusion of transgender individuals into different sports categories. At least 20 U.S. states have imposed legislation that bans transgender women from competing in female sports categories, with many conservatives arguing that transgender women have an advantage over biological females.

On Tuesday, WLUK-TV in Wisconsin obtained a letter signed by dozens of community members in Oshkosh criticizing a decision by the Women’s Fund of the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation to name Hamilton as a keynote speaker for the 2024 Power of the Purse event.

“For those who may not be aware, Bethany Hamilton announced in February 2023 that she refuses to compete in World Surf League events in response to their decision to adopt the International Surfing Association (ISA) policy on transgender participation,” the letter said. “Bethany Hamilton wants transgender surfers to be segregated into a separate athletic division. Currently, there are no transgender athletes competing in the World Surf League, and only one transgender athlete, Australian longboard surfer Sasha Jane Lowerson, has ever won a professional surfing competition.”

“Bethany Hamilton’s boycott is not motivated by concerns about athlete safety or maintaining the integrity of a professional sport.

And here comes the money line:

Bethany Hamilton simply does not personally want to accept transgender women as women,” the letter added.

I cannot read Miss Hamilton’s mind, and would not presume to know what she, individually, thinks, but there are a whole lot of people who do not accept the idiotic notion that ‘transgender women’ are women. ‘Transgender women’ are delusional men males; they are not real women. Psychology Today reported:

Extremely few — less than 3 percent — of straight men and women would consider dating a trans individual, regardless of whether that person matched their straight sexual orientation (a transman born female for straight men; a transwoman born male for straight women) or their gender preference (a transwoman for straight men; a transman for straight women).

It seems that 97%+ of normal men and women don’t consider the ‘transgendered’ real members of the sex they claimed to be, at least not to the extent of being willing to engage in, or even consider, a romantic relationship with them.

There are more people who are willing to call ‘transgender women’ real women for matters not so personally close as the romantic, because it just seems so much nicer, so much more polite, but it’s really a way of not only lying to other people, but lying to yourself. There is also, of course, the clear pressure on the ‘progressive’ left to take the furthest left position possible on anything even remotely concerned with sex, for fear that they would otherwise somehow legitimize a position held by evil reich-wingers.

Remember Jaron Bloshinsky, the mentally confused boy who thought he was a girl named “Jazz Jennings”? Young Mr Bloshinsky whined that none of the bi\oys in his high school wanted to date him:

“For the most part boys aren’t really accepting of me because I am transgender and therefore not many guys have crushes on me at my school,” she tells Oprah. “They think if they like me they will be called gay by their friends because they like another ‘boy.'”

Well, they would be called homosexual, because Mr Bloshinsky is a male! My source article, from Teen Vogue, states without reservation that “Jazz is a girl,” but that’s entirely political, in the way that Teen Vogue has been unabashedly and immaturely left-wing political. But the people who were in close proximity to Mr Bloshinsky knew better.

I’ll be very blunt about this: teenaged boys like girls, and date girls, because they are interested in getting pussy. When Mr Bloshinsky was in high school, if you pulled up his dress, a pussy was not what you’d find. Those teenaged boys were a lot smarter than today’s ‘progressives.’
