There on my TV screen was the WOAM (Woman Once A Man), standing tall on the winner’s podium. Two female athletes stood either side of the WOAM, having come second and third. Had either of them taken performance enhancing drugs, she would not have qualified to race. But she could have won – just as the winner had, whose performance was enhanced by drugs with which the WOAM was born.
Performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) can provide athletes with advantages in strength, endurance, muscle mass, recovery, or other athletic attributes. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) maintains a prohibited list of such substances. For female athletes, who naturally have lower levels of androgens like testosterone, certain PEDs can create disproportionate gains compared to male counterparts, potentially bridging or exceeding gender-based physiological differences.
Testosterone, Nandrolone, etc – promote muscle growth, increase strength, and improve recovery by mimicking or boosting androgenic hormones;
Peptide Hormones and Growth Factors like Erythropoietin (EPO), Human Growth Hormone (GH), Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 provide endurance and accelerate recovery helping females maintain high training volumes without overtraining.
Testosterone, GH, and IGF-1 occur naturally in men, contributing to their physiological advantages in muscle mass and recovery. Hence the WOAM doesn’t need to take any of them to enjoy performance superior to female competition. They have been born with the equivalents of (forbidden) PEDs. That’s why WOAMs can not compete fairly with women in professional sports.
These substances, among others, are prohibited because they can create unfair advantages, though their effects vary by sport, dosage, and individual physiology. Historical cases, such as state-sponsored doping in East Germany, highlight how anabolic steroids and hormones were used to dominate female events.
As I watched the bizarro spectacle on the podium, I wondered how the WOAM felt…what were the thoughts that swirled in the mind of a winner who won in a race with the benefit of drugs. If their conscience was squirming in discomfort, I couldn’t tell. What of that quality admired throughout history – character? Trick question: Why is a wife beater held in such low esteem, lacking character? Answer: because men are stronger than women and beating women makes them cowardly bullies. Beating women in sport is akin to beating your wife.
This whole trans-trauma makes you feel sorry for the decent transvestites who just want to live their own complicated lives.
Meanwhile, in London (courtesy CNN):
Armed police officers are a rare sight in Britain, but the Irish comedian Graham Linehan was met by five of them when he landed at London’s Heathrow Airport from Arizona on Monday, (Sept. 1, 2025) before being arrested, searched and questioned.
The reason? Three posts he wrote on X in April, Linehan claimed on his Substack.
“If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act,” Linehan wrote in one of them, in reference to trans women. “Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”
Without naming Linehan – the co-creator of the sitcom “Father Ted” who is a gender critical activist – London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed it had arrested a man in his 50s “on suspicion of inciting violence.”
It wasn’t Linehan who was armed with guns … he was armed with an opinion, and the advice to call the police. Britain is hastening the decline of western civilisation, as it shrinks freedom of speech. One of the main causes of that decline is gender-related confusion in the public square.
