If little boys want to be women so much, maybe we should have them try babysitting a house full of kids, cook and clean all day, everyday for a month and then see how well they fare haha
Honestly, all kids test their boundaries. I wanted to be a dinosaur when I was little. But instead of pretending my fantasy was reality, my parents allowed me to pretend and also held me to my human standards. They didn’t feed me fresh carcasses every day, I had eggs.
The gender insanity makes me sad. I feel for kids whose parents are so naieve that they don’t understand the difference between reality and fantasy, biology and medical experimentation.
But no male belongs in female-only spaces. My eldest daughter had a tangible fear of public restrooms because she didn’t want to find a man there. My next oldest daughter quit karate because boys and girls are expected to fight each other in that sport and she felt like she could never win. She tried, but after being beaten by boys over and over again, she was done.
It makes me so mad.
Everyday I wake up grateful that I grew up when I did and where I did.
The adults in my life were adults. They were not perfect and made plenty of mistakes. But although I was a tomboy, no one told me I could just take a magic pill and be a boy. No one offered to cut off my breasts or pretend that I had a penis. I thank the Gods every damn day for that because when I was young I was impressionable and stupid enough to believe that the medical industry is driven by caring people (instead of the monsters that just want more money).
I am so grateful that I never had to compete against boys even though I wanted to, and that I found and embraced my femininity and am passing on balance and common sense to my wonderful children. I was a competitive swimmer for 6 years of my life and I treasure those experiences. I wasn’t the fastest girl, but I could hold my own at times.
I ran track in high school with some of my choir friends and we practiced singing while we trained. It was great for our vocal power even if we didn’t win a race, but the possibility of maybe hitting the finish line first was a goal that led us to work harder and be there for each other.
That is what sports are about. It’s not just about winning, it’s about that camaraderie, and sometimes boys need other boys to help them understand themselves better and girls need other girls to do the same. Segregating sports by sex helps us know ourselves and our bodies better.
It isn’t just physical; it’s mental, emotional…spiritual.
I was incredibly grateful that the House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025. But not just that, I was so thankful to hear the speech that Riley Gaines gave afterwards. She summed it up for so many of us perfectly.
We shouldn’t have to beg to be heard. Our leaders need to listen to us.
Please read my latest article on the subject, and watch the speech:
Gaines knows. She really knows.
I have always stated that if little boys want to compete with girls so much, then maybe we need a third category. Have boys sports, girls sports, and coed options. Why is that so difficult?
But I’m already seeing sex-segregated sports disappear. In my area, most sports are becoming just co-ed, which will erase women and girls from competitions entirely.
I guess the only way women can have their own spaces is to have birthing contests? How many babies can we each make?
Sounds a bit archaic to me, but I have five kids and am thinking about having another, so I’m already winning against most American women in that race.
