Boston Marathon Will Allow Biological Men to Compete As Women

Well, since we know (based on the claims of scientifically illiterate "gender theorists") that there are no biological differences between men and women, none whatsoever, allowing men to race as "women" should not harm biological women's chances of winning.

Except for that little fact that the whole reason we have a "women's" category in the first place is that they can't beat men in athletic contests, and so need their own womens-only contest to have a chance of winning. Or even showing in the top 30.

Meanwhile, drag queens will be banned from performing at a gay event in Glasgow, out of fears that drag queens would trigger transexuals.

It went on to stress that attendees can wear "what they want" and "express their gender how they please", but that "self-described drag acts" would not be allowed to perform.

Free Pride Glasgow said: "It was felt that it [drag performance] would make some of those who were transgender or questioning their gender uncomfortable. It was felt by the group within the Trans/Non Binary Caucus that some drag performance, particularly cis drag, hinges on the social view of gender and making it into a joke, however transgender individuals do not feel as though their gender identity is a joke."

Don't "genderf**k" people treat their gender identity as a joke? Does this policy demean them?

Who's more marginalized and in greater need of affirmative re-centering -- trannies or "genderf**ks"? It's an age-old question which can never be adequately answered.
