Surfing Icon Says She’ll Boycott Professional Tour Over Transgender Competitors

Says hormone levels alone don’t determine what a woman is.

American surfing icon Bethany Hamilton has vowed to boycott the professional tour over a rule change that allows biological males who identify as women to compete against female surfers.

Hamilton took the stance after the World Surf League (WSL) announced it would comply with the policies of the International Surfing Association (ISA) when it comes to transgender surfers.

Athletes born men can compete in female divisions if they maintain a testosterone level less than five nmol/L (nanomoles per litre) for 12 months.

WSL chief Jessi Miley-Dyer said the policy was important in order to “balance equity and fairness.”

However, Hamilton took to Instagram to complain that testosterone levels alone don’t determined what a woman is.

“Is a hormone level an honest and accurate depiction that someone indeed is a male or female? Is it as simple as this?” she asked.

Hamilton speaking out on the issue is a big deal because of her high profile and success in the sport. She has been featured in a number of television specials and documentaries after losing her arm to a shark attack when she was a child and overcoming it to compete at the highest level.

“I personally won’t be competing in or supporting the World Surf League if this rule remains,” said Hamilton, adding, “This concerns me as a professional athlete who has been competing for the last 15-plus years.”

The surfer said she decided to go public in order to “stand up and speak up for those in a position that may feel they can’t say something about this.”

“I think many of the girls who are on tour are not in support of this new rule, and they fear being ostracised if they speak up,” said Hamilton.

She also noted how sports where similar policies were introduced, such as swimming, running, and MMA, were being dominated by biological men identifying as transgender.

“Who is pushing for this huge change? Does this better the sport of surfing? Is this better for the women in surfing? If so, how?” she demanded to know.

Hamilton argued that a new division should be created solely for transgender athletes in order to protect the female division.

“I think it’s really hard to imagine what the future of women’s surfing will be like in 15-20 years down the road if we move forward allowing this major change,” she concluded.

As we highlighted last year, swimming’s world governing body slapped a total ban on transgender athletes that have gone through any form of male puberty from taking part in women’s competitions.

Video: Trans ‘Activist’ Literally Burns Harry Potter Book

“’I only burn the bad books’ said every book burner ever.”

A trans activist decided to take out frustrations with J.K Rowling’s stance on women’s rights by burning a Harry Potter book, prompting the author to respond.

The person, named Tess Hall, posted a video of  a copy of the Harry Potter book ‘Goblet of Fire’ being burned, with the activist complaining about “hate we’ve been seeing of late.”

before throwing the book into the flames, Hall continues, “If we’re going to return to this sort of time where hate is involved, people marching the street against the existence of others,” adding “I think if we are going to be in the business of book burning lets make sure we are burning the right books.”

Hall then delivers a monologue about ‘extinguishing hate with love and acceptance of all,’ while referring to Christians as ‘Christo-fascists’

Rowling responded to the video:

Others chimed in:

This isn’t a one off:

Respondents to the book burning trend have previously pointed out the similarity to how religious fundamentalists wanted to burn Harry Potter books in the 2000s.

    Leftists Complain About Transgender Shooter Being Misgendered

    The real horror, apparently.

    Published

    on

    Some leftists reacted to the horrific killing of children at a Christian school in Nashville by a transgender-identified culprit by complaining that the killer was being misgendered.

    Yes, really.

    28-year-old Audrey Hale murdered three children and three adults at The Covenant School, a private Presbyterian school, in what appears to be a hate-motivated attack.

    As we highlighted earlier, the media’s initial reaction was to express “confusion” about whether they should refer to the culprit as a man or a woman, given that Hale had been identifying as a man in recent months.

    Some trans activists on Twitter appeared to be more upset over the mass murderer being misgendered than the actual shooting.

    “5 times @cnn misgendered. No correction, whined Karen Lopez. “A mass shooting is horrible. Misgendering does not make anything better.”

    “It seems like maybe there’s plenty of confusion about whether or not the shooter is a transgender man or woman,” she added. “And finding out that the police there don’t know how to use the right words does not shock me. But mixing genders in the same story is still a problem.”

    The reaction to her bizarre remarks was swift.

    A statement issued by the Transgender Resistance Network demanded the media “respect the self-identified pronouns” of the mass murderer.

    Another trans activist was also upset that the child killer’s pronouns weren’t respected.

    null

    “Another day, another mass shooting. The shooter has been identified by his deadname,” tweeted Spencer Bergstedt, J.D., who has “he/him” pronouns in his bio. “It appears he used he/him pronouns & was a former student at the school. Of course, MSM & the LEO’s discussing the issue are misgendering the murderer. I’m sad & angry on so many levels.”

    “OMG, they misgendered a fuckin mass murderer. When will the hate ever end?” responded one Twitter user.

    However, other respondents seemed to share Bergstedt’s anger at the egregious act of misgendering.

    The mind truly boggles.

    Media Loses Confidence in Preferred Pronouns After Transgender Shooter Attacks Christian School

    Creates “confusion” around gender identity in bizarre response to horrific mass shooting.

    Published

    on

    The media appears to have developed a sudden confusion surrounding preferred pronouns after a woman who identified as a man attacked a Christian school in Nashville, killing three children and three adults.

    28-year-old Audrey Hale carefully planned out the assault on The Covenant School, leaving behind maps and a manifesto, the details of which have yet to be revealed.

    Given Hale’s transgender identity, many have speculated that the massacre was motivated by Tennessee’s recent ban on all forms of “gender-affirming” transgender care for minors as well as drag queen shows, although others have suggested the motive was Hale’s resentment at having been made to attend the school.

    Whatever the motive, the media’s reaction was to lose confidence in its assertion that transgender pronouns should be respected.

    Despite Hale, a biological woman, having started identifying as a man in recent months, BBC News expressed confusion over the issue, despite authorities making clear the culprit was transgender.

    The New York Times also claimed there was “confusion” surrounding the shooter’s transgender identity, despite such confusion only being expressed by the newspaper itself.

    Some even accused the NYT of de facto apologizing for “misgendering” the killer.

    The newspaper initially reported that the culprit was a “woman,” but later changed their description.

    USA Today also appeared to apologize on behalf of authorities for initially stating that the shooter was in fact a biological woman.

    Meanwhile, Newsweek appeared to blame anyone other than the culprit for the shooting, citing the ban on drag queen shows, gender-affirming care and “assault weapons” remaining legal, with the news outlet almost appearing to attempt to justify the carnage.

    The meme below just above sums up the media’s bizarre reaction.
