WEEZ NUTS and how to fix it
Mike Savage said, Hell is a place without Reason. When the NCAA and all of us allow an insane man on estrogen to wreck women's swimming, all I got to say is, "Hello, hell? Welcome to the party, pal!"
From run-of-the-mill male swimmer to “totally female” champion: the Lia Thomas saga is an object lesson on how the proverbial Slippery Slope became a freefall into perdition.
I’m not a smart man, but when half the country thinks it’s OK for a biological male with long hair and a mental disorder to lap the field in women’s NCAA swimming there may be other societal ills in the hopper more corrosive to society than a swimmer who tucks his balls.
Upon first hearing the news of this travesty, I was wondering when sanity would prevail, whether institutionally or at a grass roots level that would effectively disqualify the sex-confused (or terrifyingly cynical) man from competing against real women. Surely, the NCAA would come out with findings based on scientific proof that a year or two of estrogen does not mitigate 20 years of masculine muscle mass, larger feet and hands, and overall superior power, or the women themselves would band together and refuse to compete against someone who had such a demonstrably unfair advantage.
Months passed, nothing…crickets, and on top of the insult to injury this fake one-trans-man circus had been inflicting upon his fellow competitors all season, he wound up on the podium sheepishly holding his National Championship trophy for the 500 meter women’s freestyle while the other medalists huddled together well clear of the sick and very real man who touched the wall before them. The social distance they chose to put between themselves and him conveyed to everybody watching that, though they’d gone along with the joke all season, in the end, they wished to ignore it in the hopes that, like a bad dream they would eventually wake up from, it would/might just go away.
This picture speaks a thousand words, and then some. Despite what you might think, the mentally ill man on the podium is not the problem.
Lia Thomas is a symptom and not the disease. And there’s the rub and the diagnosis, my friends: If you think something you know is an abomination might stop existing just because you don’t acknowledge it, your point is only pointing the finger right back at you…indicating that you yourself are crazy, too. Did you ever wonder how many ostriches actually ever saved themselves from becoming dinner by sticking their heads in the sand? There is a meme of a dog sitting down to drink his coffee in a house that’s on fire saying, “This is fine” that is indicative of the present day public’s prevailing attitude of willfully delusional complacency in the face of imminent chaos and destruction.
When the institutions originally meant to improve the public good have, by their actions, all become rotten, it is incumbent on the People to do something to amend them by correction to improve they and their fellow citizens’ lot, rather than stay comfortably on the couch with eyes wide shut, guaranteeing they and their children a future where they get what they fucking deserve.
And just like that, the Slope became a Handbasket.
