Men are so much better at women than everything that it is absurd.
Why do women even exist at all?
Oh, right. The wombs thing.
Tsk.

Austin Killips has become the first transgender athlete to win a UCI women’s stage race at the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico.
The 27-year-old American won stage five on Sunday to clinch the overall title, plus the ‘Queen of the Mountains’ jersey for best climber.
She thanked fellow riders for their support after “a week of nonsense on the internet”, but her win has reignited the debate over transgender athletes competing in female events. American three-time Olympian Inga Thompson said the UCI – cycling’s global governing body – was “killing off women’s cycling”.
Killips – who started racing in 2019 and also competes in cyclocross – finished eight seconds ahead of Mexican rider Marcela Prieto on stage five, and topped the general classification by one minute and 29 seconds.
She said on Instagram: “After a week of nonsense on the internet I’m especially thankful to everyone in the peloton and sport who continue to affirm that Twitter is not real life.
“I love my peers and competitors and am grateful for every opportunity I get to learn and grow as a person and athlete on course together.”
On Tuesday, the UCI defended its rules, saying in a statement: “The UCI acknowledges that transgender athletes may wish to compete in accordance with their gender identity.
“The UCI rules are based on the latest scientific knowledge and have been applied in a consistent manner. The UCI continues to follow the evolution of scientific findings and may change its rules in the future as scientific knowledge evolves.”
The UCI requires transgender women to suppress their testosterone levels to 2.5 nmol/L for a 24-month period prior to competing in female events.
It toughened it rules on eligibility in 2022, with previous regulations set at 5 nmol/L for 12 months.
The UCI’s transgender policy had been under review after being brought into the spotlight by British rider Emily Bridges, one of cycling’s most high-profile transgender competitors.
Its current policy differs from those of other international governing bodies, such as World Athletics and World Aquatics (previously called Fina), which have banned transgender women from competing in the female category at international events.
This is what I’ve been saying about the fighting sports, and these “badass women.”
I think they should do fights between top tier female fights and “random middle-aged man we just picked up at the bar.”
I think people just really have no idea of the depth of this gap between women and men, physically.
Intellectually, the gap is more subtle in some ways, because women are good at taking tests. But, you know. Go check the chess scores. Check “female inventions.” Check the names of the programmers on literally anything (if you see a woman’s name, there’s virtually a 100% chance it’s a tranny).
