Is there a light forming when it comes to the long, dark and bewildering tunnel of social justice cultism? Global events have been so frenetic that many people might not remember, but only a couple years ago Big Tech companies and numerous governments were openly aligned in favor of mass censorship. Not just to prevent the public from investigating the facts surrounding the pandemic farce, but to silence anyone questioning the validity of woke concepts like trans ideology.
From 2020-2022 was the closest the west has come in a long time to a complete erasure of freedom of speech. Even today there are still countries and Europe and places like Canada or Australia that are charging forward with draconian speech laws. The phrase "radical speech" is starting to circulate within pro-censorship circles in reference to any platform where people are allowed to talk critically. What is radical speech? Basically, it's any discussion that runs contrary to the beliefs of the political left.
Open hatred of moderate or conservative ideals is perfectly acceptable, but don't ever shine a negative light on woke activism, or you might be a terrorist.
Riley Gaines has experienced this double standard first hand. She was even assaulted and taken hostage at an event in 2023 at San Francisco State University when leftists protester tried to trap her in a room and demanded she "pay them to let her go." Campus police allegedly witnessed the incident but charges were never filed and surveillance footage from the college was never released.
It's probably the last thing a champion female swimmer ever expects, but her head-on collision with the trans movement and the institutional conspiracy to push it on the public forced her to become a counter-culture voice of reason rather than just an athlete.
For years the independent media argued that no matter how much we expose the insanity of men posing as women to compete and dominate women's sports, nothing will really change until the real female athletes speak up and fight back. Riley Gaines and those like her represent that necessary rebellion and a desperately needed return to common sense and reason.
In a recent interview on the Joe Rogan Podcast, Gaines related some interesting information on the inner workings of the NCAA and the subversive schemes surrounding trans athletes. Not only were women participants essentially strong-armed by colleges and officials into quietly going along with the program, there was also a concerted propaganda effort. Competition ceremonies were rigged as vehicles for promoting trans athletes over everyone else.
The bottom line? The competitions didn't matter. The real women and their achievements didn't matter. The only thing that mattered to officials were the photo ops; dudes pretending to be chicks posing with awards for the gushing corporate media. The agenda took precedence.
Lia Thomas, formerly known as William Thomas, was more than an activist invading female sports, he was also apparently a science project fostered and protected by the athletic establishment. It's important to understand that the political left does not care about female athletes. They do not care about women's sports. They don't care about the integrity of the environments they co-opt. Their only goal is to identify viable platforms with social impact and take control of them. Women's sports are seen as a vehicle for public indoctrination, nothing more.
The reasons why they covet women's sports are varied, but a primary motive is the desire to assert the fallacy that men and women are "the same" psychologically as well as physically. They want the deconstruction of biological sex and identity as nothing more than "social constructs" subject to personal preference. If they can destroy what it means to be a man or a woman, they can destroy the very foundations of relationships, families and even procreation.
For now it seems as though the trans agenda is hitting a wall with much of the public aware of it and less afraid to criticize it. Social media companies might be able to silence some people, but they can't silence everyone. However, there is still a significant threat as the movement continues to target children through the public education system and women's sports are not out of the woods yet.
The ultimate solution is for women athletes around the world to organize and widely refuse to participate in any competitions in which biological men are allowed. The only way to save women's sports is for women to be willing to end them, at least until institutions that put doctrine ahead of logic are made irrelevant.
