    Has XY chromosomes so is masculine and has male strength that is why this person was banned from the world championships last year.

    I think was assigned female at birth as had no external genitalia and raised female.

    It's very confusing. However, such a person will have far more testosterone than a normal woman. It's very likely that a normal woman presenting with an equivalent level of testosterone would be charged with doping. Irregardless, a boxer of such a nature represents a physical danger to less physically developed opponents. This is reportedly the view of the International Boxing Association.

    It is ironic that women are being hurt more than anyone by the current madness. I thought the origins of a lot of this went way back to the origins if feminism. It is as thought in creating a monster it has come back to eat them

    Father Groshel said that there will be a swing back from all this and we will end up with the most Puritan society in history .

    I am sure most young people are bored with all this craziness and just want to get on with their lives.

    No one likes living in a vast lunatic asylum

    Motorcyclist Who Identifies As Bicyclist Sets Cycling World Record
    [​IMG]

    NEW YORK, NY - In an inspiring story from the world of professional cycling, a motorcyclist who identifies as a bicyclist has crushed all the regular bicyclists, setting an unbelievable world record.

    In a local qualifying race for the World Road Cycling League, the motorcyclist crushed the previous 100-mile record of 3 hours, 13 minutes with his amazing new score of well under an hour.

    Professional motorcycle racer Judd E. Banner, the brave trans-vehicle rider, was allowed to race after he told league organizers he's always felt like a bicyclist in a motorcyclist's body.

    "Look, my ride has handlebars, two wheels, and a seat," he told reporters as he accepted a trophy for his incredible time trial. "Just because I've got a little extra hardware, such as an 1170-cc flat-twin engine with 110 horsepower, doesn't mean I have any kind of inherent advantage here."

    Banner also said he painted the word "HUFFY" on the side of his bike, ensuring he has no advantage over the bikes that came out of the factory as bicycles.

    Some critics say he needs to cut off his motor in order to make the competition fairer, but he quickly called these people bigots, and they were immediately banned from professional cycle racing.

    To put it bluntly, feminists wished to become men with vaginas and things have since slipped down the slope so precepitously that it has inevitably led to women with penises.

    It was I think anti Feminist in that it regarded women as inferior because they were women.

    That in order for women to become men's equal they had to become just like men.

    This reminds me of how wonderful it is that we as Catholics have a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It gives us another road to walk.

    One thing I notice , with very deep sadness at the moment is how often women in political leadership positions like , say Hilary Clinton are war mongerers. They often want to have these insane wars far more than men. Effectively reality being as it is it will be men rather than women who will die in them as soldiers,

    One thing I have found in having a Devotion to Our Lady is a willingness to come apart from things. An openness to coming home. I mean I am living in a forest in the middle of nowhere while the World appears to be falling apart just praying.

    Mary did the same in Nazareth and later on in Ephesus. She just withdrew and prayed. She went home.

    I think a lot of the big Catholic commentators on the internet could learn from Mary. Not all this big arguments and fighting.

    Just going home and praying. Using your rosary beads. Wearing them out.

    I so very, very seldom hear this from my fellow Catholics.

    This is such a motherly, such a feminine thing to do. But Mary has taught me it is a very manly thing to do too..
    But as a woman, a Mother, Mary has so much to teach us, nor does she have to copy men to do so.

    Novak Djokavich gives the perfect answers to the blasphemers. Wins the Olympic tennis gold and falls to his knees and blesses himself. God bless him.

    In late response, Vatican 'deplores the offense' of Paris Olympics' opening ceremony tableau

    ROME -- The Vatican said Saturday it “deplored the offense” caused to Christians by the Olympic Games opening ceremony, a scene of which evoked Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” and featured drag queens.

    A week after a storm of criticism erupted around the event, the Holy See issued a statement in French that it was “saddened by certain scenes at the opening ceremony” and joined those who had been offended.

    “At a prestigious event where the whole world comes together to share common values, there should be no ridiculous allusions to religion,” it said.

    To critics, the scene during the July 26 ceremony evoked Jesus and his apostles in Da Vinci's famous painting. It featured DJ and producer Barbara Butch — an LGBTQ+ icon — wearing a silver headdress that looked like a halo while flanked by drag artists and dancers. France’s Catholic bishops said it made a mockery of Christianity.

    The ceremony’s artistic director Thomas Jolly has repeatedly denied he had been inspired by the “Last Supper,” saying the scene was meant to celebrate diversity and pay tribute to feasting and French gastronomy. Paris Olympics organizers apologized to anyone who was offended by the tableau.

    The Vatican spokesman didn't immediately respond when asked why the Holy See was only responding now, a week after the event and after Catholic leaders around the world had expressed outrage at the scene.

    The less I think of the Vatican the happier I am .

    May God forgive them

    I have a little idea now of what Jesus must have thought of the religious authorities in Jerusalem .

    Getting stabbed from the front is one thing

    Getting stabbed from behind quite another. They are embarrassed at having to stumble out a kinda defense of Christ.

    You who deny me before men I will deny before my heavenly Father.

    Better not to even think of them.

    Make no mistake about it the only reason they made this forced half hearted , 'condemnation', was because they were backed into a corner and felt like they had too .

    I don't even like to think about these utter wretches.

    I much prefer not even to think about them

    They are utterly despicable.

    They merely (very) belatedly referred to the offense to Christians, nothing about the offense to God. It makes one suspect that they believe in man (whatever way they define him/her/hir/it/that as) but not in God.

    This man has received great gifts. He knows this and he knows where they came from. He is humble enough to acknowledge this. He is eminently sane. This is how he won, under the extreme pressure of a skilled, worthy opponent and his carrying a very dodgy-looking knee (I thought it was going to give a couple of times). Much more difficult than exhibitionistically parading one's perversions for a payout from George Soros or whatever other depraved billionaire.

    The blasphemers are diabolic narcissists who consider themselves superior to the rest of us and insanely think their being, whatever it is, is their own 'creation', out of their own will. How, one wonders, do they pull off this trick...and is the result really as attractive as they think?

    That's why he's such an obvious physical wreck at the young age (for highest-level tennis) of 37.
