Madison Kenyon is an athlete at Idaho State University and she is tired of herself and other women losing female sporting events to transgender women (i.e., biological men who identify as women). So she has decided to courageously speak out about the unfairness of the situation. In an article entitled \u201cWomen can beat the odds, but we can\u2019t beat biology. Keep men out of women\u2019s sports,\u201d appearing in Fox News<\/a> on January 11, 2022, Kenyon declared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“[F]or any woman who objects to that [having biological men competing in women\u2019s sports], it\u2019s clear that many authority figures\u2014coaches, administrators, sports officials, elected officials, and even the Olympic Committee itself\u2014will not only harass them, but refuse to respect their needs and identity. I know how frustrating this is. I\u2019ve been competing for the last three years as a track-and-field athlete at Idaho State University, where five times I\u2019ve lost competitions to a male who chose to identify as a woman.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This situation is blatantly unfair to women and negates all the hard work they put into competing. Kenyon writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Any female athlete can tell you how defeating that is [losing to a transgender female]. Being a competitive athlete is about so much more than showing up for the race, or even doing all the workouts and practices. It\u2019s about everything you give up for your sport\u2014the day-after-day of getting up early, the parties you skip because you can\u2019t stay out that late, the family and school events you can\u2019t attend because you\u2019re competing or working with the team. All of that feels trampled underfoot by that male runner pulling ahead of you… Think of all the women competing\u2026–of their combined years of practice, sacrifice, and self-denial\u2014all of that gone, the moment the male athlete stepped into the next lane.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tragically, female athletes are being forced to remain silent about this unfairness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My fellow female athletes and I are not supposed to notice that, suddenly, we\u2019re running against people who aren\u2019t like us\u2014who are naturally stronger and faster, who are suddenly winning all the prizes we\u2019ve worked so hard to obtain, and who now have access to all the scholarships and athletic recognition we\u2019ve legitimately earned. We\u2019re supposed to smile and cheer and clap and pretend that we\u2019re all very happy about this\u2014that we don\u2019t object to seeing our years of effort and lifelong dreams go up in so much smoke, and that we don\u2019t mind denying reality as long as it pleases the woke crowd and keeps our school safe from a lawsuit.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kenyon then makes an excellent point. If “identity” trumps reality, why should we stop a 230-lb. heavyweight boxer who “identifies” as a flyweight (weighing under 112 lbs.) from competing in the flyweight division? According to the woke, there is no argument against this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an athlete and a biology major, I find it fascinating that the same sports authorities who would think it crazy to put a heavyweight boxer in the ring with a flyweight\u2014just because the first guy “identifies as a flyweight” this week\u2014think it\u2019s perfectly natural to put a male on the running track or soccer field next to a woman and declare that \u2019fair\u2019\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The end result of all this, Kenyon writes, is the elimination of female sports: \u201cIt\u2019s reducing athletic competition to two categories: men\u2019s and co-ed. It\u2019s taking away women\u2019s chances not only of winning, but even of fairly competing in sports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenyon concludes her article with strong works that used to be common sense until a minute ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We [women] can beat exhaustion, frustration, even a tough team. We can beat the clock. We can beat some pretty tough odds. But in the end, we can\u2019t beat biology\u2014or officials more concerned with pleasing the wokes than \u2019respecting our needs and identities.\u2019”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

College athlete Madison Kenyon is boldly speaking truth to the elites of the world who are putting the needs of biological men over those of biological women. Elites who are trying to undo all the gains women have made over the past six decades in sports and other areas. Let\u2019s hope that Kenyon can embolden more athletes, both women and men, to speak out against this unfairness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
