That is rough.
I say identity politics always leads to inner conflict. It is inevitable. It is the very nature of the beast. We see this now with the tug of war between trans-proponents, who have the upper hand at the moment, and female sports in general. The aggrieved party here by my estimation at least, is the female athletes. But they are afraid to speak because they do not want the avalanche of personal attacks they know will come their way if they do speak. And so they just have to sit there while they watch their records being destroyed and their sport turned into a mockery. It is quite the spectacle and we are going to see it more and more. Personally I look forward to the war it is going to cause within the Title IX college sport environment. Imagine UT volleyball with just one Phill Dalhausser on the team. Who could stop them?
Likewise, at the national level, there is no one willing to speak up for the normal girl athletes either - a complete lack of backbone and conviction - they are all afraid of the mob. The one guy who would and did, apparently just got the boot. Think about that choice for the poor female schollie athlete in the voting booth in 2020 -- "I am supposed to hate Trump but if I vote the other way, some guy is going to come steal my scholarship from me." Oy vey.
