Yesterday, the UK Telegraph ran a “comment,” which I think is similar to an op-ed, spicily titled “Trans Ideology Will Let Mediocre Men Destroy Women’s Sport.” The sub-headline was even better: “In my book, [trans] athletes like Austin Killips are thieves – yet those whose prizes they take are being forced to maintain this mortifying charade.”

Mediocre men! A mortifying charade! The British do really have a way with words; they invented English, after all. Read those phrases back to yourself in a woman’s English accent.

Austin Killips is a man (stem and berries still on the bush) who pretends to be a woman. In 2019, Killips took up cycling for the first time in his life, and this year the 27-year-old American finished a record-breaking +89 seconds ahead of the reigning champion, Italy’s Marcela Prieto, in the ladies’ general class, and he also claimed the prized “Queen of the Mountains jersey.”

He also took the $35,000 cash prize. Thanks ladies! ...

But most significant, to me, was how the op-ed suggests the narrative is shifting. Only a year ago, this kind of article by a mainstream writer, of this kind of incendiary, anti-trans op-ed — a “mortifying charade!” — would have gotten Allison cancelled, fired, and banned from polite British society faster than you can say “Bob’s your uncle.”

People generally look at self-sterilizing teenagers and think the world has gone insane. What they rarely notice is the racial angle. Virtually all of them are white, basically none of them are black, and the Asian, brown, and Hispanic trannies I’ve encountered are … well I don’t encounter many. Seen in this way, transgenderism is a racialized assault on the reproductive future of Europeans.
