It’s still pretty shocking that in a culture claiming to lift women up in the name of equality, there are people out there who are fine with biological men nosing their way into women-only leagues. In college we called that a coed league. That’s when teams in whatever sport it may be– soccer, softball, flag football, etc– had guys and girls together on teams. It was fine and it was really fun. But what’s happening now in sports is trans-women (biological men) trying to join the league of their new gender. To them it isn’t coed, it’s still all-female and that’s the controversy headlining a lot of news sites these days. Pushing back against what liberals consider fair is a brand called XX-XY Athletics. Their aim is to aid in protecting real women in sports. Their latest commercial is quite powerful, one you might imagine finishing with a logo from Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, if any of them had the balls uteruses to take such a stance. Check out the ad called “Real Girls Rock” then scroll down for more thoughts…
More details about the ad and the women appearing in it can be found here. Speaking of a person born as a woman, J.K. Rowling chimed in about the weight of the commercial. World-renowned author aside, she’s become a well-known advocate for women, often sharing her thoughts with little to no regard for the hate she’ll receive in return. Here’s what she posted about the ad…
In a later tweet she said this, and it’s such a profound and clear question…
In years to come, a great question to ask self-proclaimed liberal men will be, ‘which side were you on – women’s rights, or men’s demands?’
The mission of XX-XY Athletics is on their website but here it is in a nutshell:
Women deserve the opportunities that sports and single sex spaces provide.
Sex matters. It is the single biggest determinant of athletic performance. It is unfair and dangerous to allow males (XY) to compete in girls and women’s (XX) sports.
For women to compete safely and fairly, women’s sports need to remain female.
We’ll be here defending truth. And women and girls. Until that happens.
If you’d like to support this brand (and all the women and girls you know) check out their products and gear on their website XX-XYAthletics.com. At the very least, make an attempt to avoid buying other brands that don’t seem to care much about the integrity of sports, or the achievements women have made in decades prior. Yes, I’m talking about Nike, a brand that even had a dude named Dylan Mulvaney model some of their women’s gear.
