Trans athletes should compete — but not against biological women

It’s shaping up to be a banner Women’s History Month.

For the patriarchy, that is.

Last week, Leigh Finke, a recently elected trans rep from Minnesota was honored by USA Today as one of its “Women of the Year,” while champion cyclocross rider Hannah Arensman quit after losing to a trans woman. Days later, trans cyclist Tiffany Thomas won an NYC race, proclaiming that her jersey made her “feel like a superhero.”

Last June, Ricci Tres, a 29-year-old trans skateboarder beat a 13-year-old girl in an NYC contest, evoking Kramer in “Seinfeld” dominating a bunch of kids in karate.

At this point, the trans debate has touched nearly every niche competitive pursuit, including cycling, weightlifting, disc golf and high school volleyball and basketball.
