Transgender runner, 18+ years older than female competitors, wins medal.

Transgender Runner More Than⁣ 18 Years Older ‌Than ⁢Female⁤ Competitors Awarded ⁣Medal After Finish

Another man⁤ claiming to ​be a woman⁢ has blown away ⁤much‍ of the female competition to win a medal‌ as ⁢a ⁤woman⁣ in sports.

This‍ time, it was⁤ in⁤ Paris ⁣as Valentina Petrillo, ‍born a man named Fabrizio, won‌ the bronze medal last ⁢week ‌at⁣ the‌ World ⁢Para Athletics Championships.

At​ the ⁤advanced age ⁣of‍ 49,​ Petrillo took the bronze in a category reserved ​for women with physical impairments.‍ In his⁢ case,‍ at the​ age of 14, Petrillo was diagnosed⁢ with Stargardt‌ disease, a degenerative⁣ eye ​condition.

Do you think ‌this is ‌fair for women?

Whether it⁤ is fair ⁢or not,⁢ the male-born runner‍ who ‍married to a ⁢woman ​and has‍ two children, according⁤ to the‌ U.K. Telegraph — ‍especially ‍since he is 18 ​years older than the women he was running against.⁣ However, he ⁢says he doesn’t ⁣see his win as‍ stealing from women.

“Better ⁤to⁤ be⁣ a slow, happy woman than a fast, unhappy man,” Petrillo callously quipped,⁢ according ⁣to The Telegraph. “I don’t feel like ​I’m ‌stealing anything ‌from anyone.”

Petrillo even ‌blasted detractors of trans athletes, saying that people who ⁢attack him are​ “on the ⁤same level ​as Hitler,” according⁢ to ​The Telegrapha.

“I’ve not undergone ⁢hormone therapy to win, I’ve done it for myself,” he ⁣said,‍ the newspaper reported.

But not everyone was celebratory over Petrillo’s victory. As The Telegraph ⁣noted, Mara ⁤Yamauchi, the ‌third‍ fastest ‌female British marathon⁢ runner in history, scoffed‌ at the result, ‍asking, “How ‍many 49-year-olds ‍would win medals at world‌ level?”

The age factor is telling. Track and field athletes usually ‍peak in‌ the late ⁣20s, yet ‌here is Petrillo beating⁣ a ⁣field of women ​at‌ 49, closing in on 20⁣ years older⁢ than ⁤his‌ competition.‍ This seems to show⁣ clearly that male bodies ‍have a⁣ huge competitive advantage over female bodies.

This is not the first⁣ time ​that⁣ Petrillo has won ⁢a woman’s medal.

He now has nine medals in ⁢female ‌categories to his ​name.

Transgender athlete Valentina Petrillo‌ has⁢ now‍ won ​9 Women’s Sports⁢ Awards.

Women’s Awards they have‌ won:

1st‍ Place:⁣ SACMI ‌AVIS Meeting, Stadio Romeo Galli, ⁤Imola

1st ‍Place: Italian⁣ Club Championships⁣ – Final ​B⁤ Centro-Nord, Piazzale⁤ Adolfo Consolini, Vittorio⁤ Veneto

The⁢ World Para Athletics ‍Championships allows transgender⁢ athletes to compete⁢ under their chosen gender per⁤ the IOC’s rules, ⁢which‍ is⁣ in conjunction⁢ with rules‍ governing the ​Olympics.

Regardless, among‍ many others, ‌Peter Eriksson,  a former‍ Paralympics⁤ head ​coach, was⁢ not⁣ pleased with ⁤Petrillo’s ⁣win.

“It’s shocking to⁤ see that women’s opportunities to a medal​ were taken ⁤by⁢ a cheating ​49-year-old male,” Eriksson ⁤said, according to OutKick. “The International Paralympic Committee is⁣ diminishing the rights of fairness in women’s sport by⁤ allowing transgender athletes ‌at ⁣their events.”

Other sports have also seen ⁢such outrages,⁤ whether ​at⁣ the ⁢high⁤ school level ⁤or​ in​ the arena of professional⁢ sports.

Still,​ we might‍ finally be seeing the beginning of a turn⁤ against allowing ‍male athletes⁤ competing as women. ⁣Just last ⁣week, ‍cycling’s international‌ body, Union ​Cycliste Internationale, changed ​its rules and has now banned transgenders⁣ from competing ⁤as women if they “transitioned” ‌after puberty. This new rule pretty‍ much eliminates all transgenders from competing in the women’s category⁣ because few⁣ transgenders ⁤transition ⁣before ⁣puberty.

Other sports have ⁣also decided that men claiming to be women do not⁤ belong in⁢ their women’s categories. As Breitbart News reported last year, Pro Disc Golf ‌Association‌ banned ‌transgenders from⁣ competing‍ in the⁤ women’s‌ category. And that‍ same year, ​the organization that governs international rugby​ also banned men claiming ‍to be women competing‌ under their chosen ‌gender, Breitbart added.

To date,⁤ only ⁣a few ⁤sports organizations have ⁣moved against transgenderism while far, far more still support the​ radical, left-wing agenda. ‌But ‍more people than ⁣ever speaking out about the unfair⁢ physical advantage that​ male bodies ⁤have over‍ female⁤ bodies in direct ​competition, maybe⁢ the tide‍ is ‍just‌ starting to ⁣turn back ⁤toward ‍fairness⁤ in women’s ​sports?

No one is against trans people competing​ in sports,⁣ of course. But it⁤ needs to be fair for⁣ all concerned.

Men⁣ who have⁣ gone through puberty have a clear competitive advantage over women. Even‍ some⁣ sports officials are finally waking ⁢up‍ to this fact.

In the end,‍ though, this won’t ⁣end⁤ until ⁤more real women athletes​ — ​like the heroic Riley Gaines — stand up to this nonsense.
