Wagner College forcing women to compete against males or your out.

The world is pretty screwed up isn't it?

----------------------------------------------

A college female fencer in Maryland refused to compete against an opponent who is a biological male and has been expelled as a result.



Stephanie Turner refused to compete against transgender fencer Redmond Sullivan at the Cherry Blossom Open, opting to take a knee at the start of the match, consequently being disqualified from the tournament.

“I knew what I had to do because USA Fencing had not been listening to women’s objections regarding [its gender eligibility policy],” Turner said following the incident.



 
What place did the Trans Athlete come in?

What was their ranking?
From the post

"Sullivan shockingly started dominating the female competition after the switch was made.

During the Connecticut Division Junior Olympic Qualifiers last year, for example, Sullivan competed with the female athletes and won".
 
What a *****. She might have won. You never know until you play. Would have hurt "the cause" though.

Is she there to compete or to make a political statement?

Pray tell, what advantage do males have in fencing?

Do you just assume men are better than women at everything?

Cool. How does male physiology give anyone an advantage in fencing, a sport about reflexes and precision?
 
24th place out of 39 competitors.

That is the answer.
What does that have to do with the girl not wanting to fence a boy in a girls tournament?

Stephanie Turner threw the match knowing what the consequences of doing so were.

It is fine for her to take a stand in what she believes… that men are better than women.

What the competition proved is that they aren’t.

Doesn’t she look silly.
 
I don't know what the answer is here but if you're a trans advocate it has to give you pause that you never see trans men competing in men's sports and excelling. Certain sex-based advantages are just irreversible to any gender transition.

She has every right to do both. Not compete and make that statement. If she was going to pull out...IMO she should say why. Use her voice.

So now that women have achieved equal rights with mean, they in reality don't want to compete against men, it just ain't fair said billy Jean king.

Clearly, in this case, she did not do both.

If she goes out and wins, she rather undercuts her cause.

There is no proof that was her reason!

Here is her quote

“I took a knee immediately at that point. Redmond was under the impression that I was going to start fencing. So, when I took the knee, I looked at the ref and said, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot do this. I am a woman, and this is a man, and this is a women’s tournament. And I will not fence this individual,” she further urged.

Her refusing to play with this cheater dude that lie to his way and gas lit his way into women's sports and being removed gets a lot more attention than if they just kicked the man out.

The reality is the only way you're going to get men to no longer be able to compete in women's sports is if the women refuse to be with them. What this woman needs is a lot of notoriety for what she did. Support. So that more women will do it.

Absolutes come back it's like that strangio pervert is sitting on her high horse denying reality and gaslighting people.

Do you say Bruce or Caitlyn?
 
Reach, strength.

I've fenced with men and women.

Fencing is not a strength based sport. And if reach was an issue, the sport would be divided by height.

You have a great deal of insight into this transgender. Do you know her?
