Shot in the Dark

A Policy Proposal

Joe Doakes, formerly of Como Park, emails:

Transgender people claim they just want to be accepted.  I can do that. But my idea of “accepted” is the way Colonel Potter treated Corporal Klinger on the television show M.A.S.H., more “tolerated” than “celebrated.”
 
You want to wear a dress? Fine, go right ahead.  But it doesn’t get you out of standing watch. It doesn’t get you into the nurse’s shower with Major Hoolahan. It doesn’t get you any special privileges at all.
 
Certain males Want to act like girls, but everyone knows they’re Not girls, so we aren’t willing to Treat them as girls.  Your transgender fantasy is your own.  I am not required to participate in your fantasy, not even with your choice of pronoun.
 
 Wear a dress if it makes you feel pretty. But you don’t get to shower with the girls or pitch on their softball team.  Being weird doesn’t make you special. It just makes you weird in a dress. 
 
If you have a problem with that attitude, well then, you have a problem. Don’t whine about it, deal with it.  As a real woman would. 
 
“As a real woman would”?    Like “No, that’s just fine, there’s no problem…”?

    Joe nails the sentiment of 99.2% of the population (sane population). That we need to write an affirmation policy on this is more perverted than perverts themselves.

    I am not required to participate in your fantasy

    Needs to be chiseled into the facade of every Western institution.

    The way I’d say it is this; if I let you into the ladies’ spaces based on self-identification, I have simultaneously laid out the welcome mat for Megan’s List to do the same. In the same way, if I open womens’ and girls’ sports to “trans” people, I have simultaneously opened the door to second tier athletes to dominate womens’ sports and injure women by incidental and intentional contact.

    So the question, then, is whether a trans person’s comfort and participation is worth the risk of getting women and girls subject to loss of opportunities, sexual assault, and even being injured and killed?

    A final risk is that when women and girls decide that sport isn’t worth it because they don’t want to be injured, raped, killed, or defeated by men, then by Title IX, you’ve got to shut down the boys’ and mens’ teams, too. So we might rephrase the question; is your happiness at temporarily participating as a “woman” worth getting women defeated by men, injured, raped, or killed, and all on the route to destroying athletic opportunities for everyone?

    To ask the question is, one would hope, to answer it.

    Not really related, but in a tangential way it is. Progressives fantasize that trans-confused people are not the gender their DNA mandates. Also that in sports, women are held back by male repression. Today the holder of the 1500 meter record for women will attempt to run a sub four minute mile. She’s a great runner, but to do this she will need to run the first 1500 meters in her world record time, then the next 108 meters as fast as Usain Bolt. It’s not going to happen. On a similar note, the much ballyhooed Fastest Known Time on the Appalachian Trail, now held by a female, is on the verge of being obliterated by a male.
