On Friday, Madeleine Kearns published a piece in the Wall Street Journal about transgender athletes essentially ruining sports like women’s track and field by dominating every event.

The results speak for themselves. Since Connecticut’s athletic conference enacted its liberal gender-identity policy, two men have won 15 women’s state championships—titles that were held by 10 different Connecticut girls the previous year.
“It’s just really frustrating and heartbreaking, because we all train extremely hard to shave off just fractions of a second off of our time. And these athletes can do half the amount of work that we do, and it doesn’t matter,” Ms. [Selina] Soule says. “We have no chance of winning.”
You’re supposed to feel Selina Soule’s frustration, but you’ll only do that if you can get past Kearns’ liberal use of the word “men” to describe the transgender athletes who have won 15 women’s state championships.
I get that @WSJopinion leans conservative, but letting a bigoted writer (@madeleinekearns) repeatedly call transgender women “men” crosses a line.
This propagation of societal stigma is exactly what drives adverse mental health outcomes for #trans youth. https://t.co/LjJkHGFjLP

Kearns didn’t appreciate being called “a bigoted writer.”
So calling males “men” is an insult in 2019? ??♀️Why? Men are great! The only point here is that they shouldn’t compete against women. @jack_turban you pick your words & I’ll pick mine. But if you must resort to name calling, you don’t have an argument. #sticksandstones https://t.co/r4OLhhOTYr

Transphobic singer-turned-opinion writer:
“I love cisgender men. How could I be bigoted?”
God bless @WSJopinion. This person’s invalidation and insults toward young transgender women are exactly what are driving the high rates of depression among this vulnerable demographic.

Has anyone measured the rates of depression of girls who have been giving everything they have to distinguish themselves athletically for college admissions and scholarships? Hey, someone else thought to ask:
What about the young women who lost their places to those young transwomen with fully male bodies? Have you checked whether they are feeling depressed and vulnerable?

I get that @nytopinion leans stupid, but letting misogynist writer @jack_turban smear @madeleinekearns for defending women’s sports crosses a line. https://t.co/YiLfwRlAaz

The guy has an MD after his name. I don't even know what to say.

He’s in the business of transing children, so any articles that criticize pediatric transition or transgender activism / ideology in general are a direct threat to his livelihood and reputation.

In times of insanity, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act. Well done ?
