199 - Transgenderism and Track & Field
0:00 / 40m 49s
In this episode, we tackle the absurdity of transgender athletes competing in women's sports, focusing on the case of Chelsea Mitchell, a female track athlete who lost titles to biological males. It's time to stand up for truth and protect the integrity of women's sports against the encroaching ideology of the LGBTQ+ movement.

0:59 This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
1:21 I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
1:22 Let's get into it.
1:23 So big announcement for you guys that have been following Undaunted Life for a long time.
1:28 I am constantly asked, Kyle, I want to get a T-shirt.
1:30 We're going to get a T-shirt.
1:31 Hey, you've got an Undaunted T-shirt.
1:33 Why don't I have an Undaunted T-shirt?
1:34 Well, here's the thing.
1:35 Guys, we now have a shop on our website.
1:38 So if you go to Undaunted.life/shop, not only do we have T-shirts, really awesome.
1:45 Awesome T-shirts, kind of a black on black thing.
1:47 But we also have rash guards.
1:50 We know a lot of you guys have started doing jujitsu or are continuing to do jujitsu because
1:54 of podcasts like this one and other ones.
1:57 But guys, this is a pre-order, okay?
1:59 We are stopping the pre-order on Friday, June the 11th, okay?
2:03 Because we're not just going to keep a bunch of stuff in stock.
2:05 We're not going to just basically load up my garage with stuff.
2:08 And if you pre-order it on the website, you got to make sure you give us the right size.
2:12 We have a little size chart on there, but guys, it is good looking stuff.
2:16 Make sure you go to Undaunted.life/shop.
2:19 I will make sure that the link is in the description so you can go and check that out.
2:22 But let's go ahead and get into the rest of stuff we need to talk about.
2:25 Hi guys, it is June, which basically means Happy Pride Month, right?
2:30 Happy Pride Month everybody.
2:32 That's essentially what you have to say or you're a bigot, right?
2:34 You got to change your profile picture to be a rainbow and all that kind of stuff because
2:37 here's the guys, you know, let's just be serious here.
2:40 May, we ended May with a single day where we actually memorialized the deaths of well
2:46 over a million U.S. soldiers that have died, you know, defending freedom and
2:51 extinguishing evil and pushing back tyranny, you know, little things, little
2:54 things like that.
2:55 So we celebrated Memorial Day for one day, but now we get an entire month to celebrate
3:02 the real heroes.
3:04 You know that the females that choose to have sex with females, the L's, males that
3:08 choose to have sex with males, the G's, males and females that choose to have sex
3:12 with both males and females, the B's, males that think they're females and vice
3:16 versa, the T's, and then males and females that have no idea what to think, the cues,
3:21 and then literally every other depraved, amoral, nonsensical decision regarding sex
3:25 and gender, the pluses.
3:27 So I think I covered them all right.
3:29 So that's LGBTQ plus right now.
3:31 Now before we get into today's episode because I promise this is all going to end up making
3:35 sense at some point.
3:36 I want to have a little aside here.
3:39 Why should people that fall into the LGBTQ plus crowd be proud?
3:46 And I don't mean that from any type of moralistic sense, even though I did just bring that up
3:51 a second ago, I mean that strictly in terms of the word proud.
3:55 So so proud, one of the definitions that I found is feeling pleasurable satisfaction
4:00 over an act, possession, quality, or relationship by which one measures one stature or self-worth.
4:06 Because you see, even if you answer this one question alone, and almost destroys the entire
4:13 LGBTQ mindset and worldview, because guys, we've been reliably informed by such scientists
4:20 as Lady Gaga, that the L's, the G's, and the B's were just born this way, right?
4:25 They didn't choose to be a lesbian, they didn't choose to be gay, they didn't choose
4:29 to be attracted to both sexes, they didn't choose it, they were born this way.
4:34 Now, there's actually no scientific basis for this, and there have been people that
4:37 for decades now have been trying to discover the gay gene, some sort of a genetic component
4:41 to being homosexual, and they can't find that in Homo sapiens, oddly enough.
4:45 But again, it's kind of one of those things, science of the gaps, the God of the gaps argument
4:48 that eventually science will figure that out.
4:50 But it's just an interesting thing, because whenever you go to the very next letter, the
4:54 T's, you have to ask, well, what about the T's?
4:58 Because we've been reliably informed by all these woke people in modern society that a
5:04 human being can actually and literally change their sex if they choose to.
5:11 All they have to do is choose to do that.
5:14 And even those who say, no, I've felt like I've been the opposite sex my entire life.
5:18 I felt like I've been trapped in my body my entire life.
5:20 They don't argue that it's a scientific reality that they are the opposite sex.
5:25 They don't they don't argue that, because if they did, then there would be no reason
5:29 to present themselves as the opposite sex via dressing or styling like the opposite sex,
5:35 or you know, even getting surgery to look more like the opposite sex.
5:39 They would need to do those things.
5:41 So guys, if you're keeping score so far, I know it's hard to hard to follow, right?
5:44 We have the L's, the G's and the B's that are born that way, but then you've got the
5:47 T's that can make that decision after they're born.
5:51 Okay.
5:52 So just so you're keeping up.
5:53 You apparently can't figure out what they want, so the jury's still out on whether or
5:56 not they were born a certain way or they chose to be a certain way.
5:59 And then you've got the pluses and essentially the pluses will let you know what to think
6:04 whenever they figure it out, because that plus just goes at infinitum.
6:07 It just keeps on going and going and going and there is no stopping.
6:10 Okay.
6:11 The point to all that in, you know, this is a great intro to what we're going to be talking
6:14 about today is as a worldview, the LGBTQ plus worldview is an empty framework of contradictory
6:22 stances on reality.
6:25 And when you talk to people that are actually in these communities, and again, I don't like
6:28 referring to them as communities, because these are individual people, there are people that
6:31 don't think that they should all be grouped up together.
6:35 Things that lesbians do and believe aren't exactly what gay people do or believe are transgender
6:40 people or people that are on the queer spectrum or questioning spectrum.
6:44 They don't really know what to do.
6:45 This is not a framework that helps us understand truth.
6:49 That's partially the point, because when you live in this post truth culture, we're not
6:53 as worried about truth as we are about making sure that everybody feels like their truth
6:58 is being heard.
7:00 So we're going to kick off pride month, you know, the greatest month of the year by focusing
7:03 on the T of LGBTQ plus, and that's the story about a high school girls track athlete in
7:09 the state of Connecticut.
7:10 So you may have heard about this story, but I do want to go into it into a lot of detail,
7:13 really.
7:14 So I'm going to read the entirety of a blog.
7:17 It's short, but it was written by a high school senior at Ken, high school in Canton, Connecticut.
7:21 Her name is Chelsea Mitchell, okay?
7:23 So this blog, and this is important.
7:25 This blog was originally posted as an op ed, right?
7:28 So not a news piece, but as an opinion piece on May 22nd of 2021, okay, and it was posted
7:33 in the USA today, and it was posted on their website.
7:36 And so that is the US newspaper with the widest distribution.
7:38 So for my listeners that aren't in the United States, that is the biggest newspaper technically
7:42 in the United States has the widest distribution.
7:45 So let me go and read this blog to you, and there's a few things that you should be able
7:48 to pull out before I even get into the details, even if you haven't heard the story.
7:51 So here we go.
7:52 This is from again, Chelsea Mitchell.
7:54 It's February, 2020.
7:56 I'm crouched at the starting line of the high school girls 55 meter indoor race.
8:00 This should be one of the best days of my life.
8:02 I'm running in the state championship, and I'm ranked the fastest high school female
8:06 in the 55 meter dash in the state.
8:08 I should be feeling confident.
8:10 I should know that I have a strong shot at winning.
8:13 But all I can think about is how all my training, everything I've done to maximize my performance
8:17 might not be enough simply because there's a runner on the line with an enormous physical
8:21 advantage, a male body.
8:24 I won that race and I'm grateful, but time after time, I've lost.
8:29 I've lost four women state championship titles, two all New England awards, and numerous other
8:35 spots on the podium to male runners.
8:37 I was bumped to third place in the 55 meter dash in 2019 behind two male runners.
8:43 With every loss, it gets harder and harder to try again.
8:46 That's a devastating experience.
8:48 It tells me that I'm not good enough, that my body isn't good enough, and that no matter
8:53 how hard I work, I'm unlikely to succeed because I'm a woman.
8:58 That experience is why three of my fellow female athletes and I filed a lawsuit last
9:02 year with Alliance Defending Freedom Against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference
9:06 CIC, because girls and women shouldn't be stripped of their right to fair competition.
9:12 The CIC allows biological males to compete in girls and women's sports.
9:16 As a result, two males began racing in girls track in 2017.
9:21 In the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons alone, these males took 15 women's state championship
9:29 titles, titles held in 2016 by nine different girls, and more than 85 opportunities to participate
9:36 in higher level competitions that belonged to female track athletes.
9:40 That's because males have massive physical advantages.
9:43 Their bodies are simply bigger and stronger on average than female bodies.
9:47 It's obvious to every single girl on the track.
9:50 But Connecticut officials are determined to ignore the obvious, and unfortunately a federal
9:54 district court recently dismissed our case.
9:56 The court's decision to do so tells women and girls that their feelings and opportunities
10:00 don't matter and that they can't expect anyone to stand up for their dignity and their rights.
10:05 That's wrong, and it chips away at women's confidence and our belief in our own abilities.
10:10 This happened to me over and over.
10:11 Every time I walk up to the starting line, I try to tell myself that I can overcome the
10:15 unfair odds.
10:16 I can win, even though the race is stacked against me.
10:19 But besides the psychological toll of experiencing unfair losses over and over, the CIC's policy
10:24 has more tangible harms for women.
10:27 It robs girls with the chance to race in front of the college scouts who show up for elite
10:30 meets and to compete for scholarships and the opportunities that come with college recruitment.
10:35 I'll never know how my own college recruitment was impacted by losing those four-state championships
10:39 titles to a male.
10:41 When colleges looked at my record, they didn't see the fastest girl in Connecticut.
10:45 They saw a second or third place runner.
10:47 And it's not just happening to me.
10:49 My friend and fellow plaintiff Selena Sold was bumped from qualifying for the state championship
10:53 55-meter final and an opportunity to qualify for the New England Championship by a male
10:58 runner in 2019.
11:00 Meanwhile, Elena Smith, an incredibly talented female athlete, was the second place female
11:04 runner in the 200 meters at the New England Regional Championships but was dropped to third
11:09 because, or behind, a male competitor.
11:12 It's discouraging that the federal district court had decided that these experiences,
11:16 these lost opportunities, simply don't matter.
11:19 But I'm not beaten yet, and neither are my fellow female athletes.
11:22 Through our ADF attorneys, my fellow athletes and I are appealing the federal district's
11:26 court ruling.
11:27 We're taking our case to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where we are going
11:30 to ask once again for the court to recognize our right to fair competition, a right that
11:35 Title IX has promised to our girls and women for 50 years.
11:38 We're fighting not just for ourselves but for all female athletes.
11:42 So as we prepare for this next step in the case, I'm setting, I'm settling into starting
11:46 the starting blocks again but for a different kind of race.
11:50 And this time, I'm confident that we can win.
11:53 Okay, so when I first saw this, right, and whenever I first looked over it, here were
11:57 some of my immediate reactions to what I read here.
12:00 The first thing is that Chelsea Mitchell points, the points that she makes in this blog are
12:04 perfectly obvious and irrefutable.
12:06 Yes, men have a distinct biological and thus sports advantage, especially in something
12:11 like track and field, right?
12:13 Because on average, overwhelmingly men are faster than women, right?
12:17 You've seen it before where the woman that wins the 100, 200 and 300 and 400 meters in
12:21 the Olympics, they would be like 150th ranked in the nation in high school against boys,
12:27 right?
12:28 Like these are perfectly obvious things.
12:30 But I, you know, we live in a world where you can't just say perfectly obvious things
12:33 anymore without being called a bigot.
12:35 Another thing that I thought about is that Chelsea Mitchell is a hero.
12:38 Now I do want to go ahead and immediately provide a caveat to that because I think the
12:42 word hero is thrown around a lot.
12:44 It's used way too often, right?
12:46 So am I saying Chelsea Mitchell is running into a burning building to save a baby?
12:49 No, I'm not saying that.
12:50 I mean, am I saying Chelsea Mitchell is going and, you know, fighting ISIS overseas or anything
12:54 like I'm not saying that she's that type of hero, but she is a kind of a hero.
12:59 She is a type of a hero because regardless of what she does for the rest of her life,
13:03 this could define her forever.
13:06 Because this is a case that could go all the way to the Supreme Court and her name will
13:09 be attached to it, right?
13:11 And the rest of the plaintiffs, they will be attached to that.
13:13 And you're going to have people that are going not to not allow them to have opportunities
13:17 in this world because they were attached to a case like this, right?
13:21 And somehow a biological woman will be an anti feminist because she didn't support transgender
13:27 women.
13:28 I mean, it's silly.
13:29 And another immediate reaction that I had is that Chelsea Mitchell is a fighter.
13:33 And we mean, we need more people like her.
13:35 I run into so many guys that, you know, from the outside, they look like they're a fighter.
13:40 But in this type of a case, they would probably would have just told Chelsea, yeah, you know,
13:44 tough break.
13:45 But, you know, maybe you'll get them next time or, you know, you should train a little harder
13:49 so that you can beat the guy in that race again, or you beat him before, why not just
13:52 beat him again?
13:53 Right?
13:54 But she's a fighter.
13:55 She knows that this is unfair and she's okay with saying it.
13:58 And I think we need more people like that.
14:00 Now, the article alone, right, in the court case, that should have been the story.
14:05 That should have been the only thing that we were focused on, right?
14:08 But of course, everything is so incredibly stupid.
14:12 And so is the USA today.
14:14 So as per usual, when a reasonable person says something that's true publicly, there's
14:19 an outcry quote unquote, which means a few dozen dorks on Twitter, we're ready to go,
14:23 you know, viral with their vitriol.
14:25 But fearing that apparently unbearable vitriol, the USA today did one of the most egregious
14:31 things that I've heard of the media doing in a very long time.
14:34 And that's saying something considering some of the things that we've seen.
14:36 And because here's the thing is the media is responsible for a lot of coverups, right?
14:41 And the thing is, is you don't know about most of those covers up coverups because they
14:44 were covered up.
14:45 Right?
14:46 You don't really understand that.
14:47 It's not like, you know, what we see now where people are basically saying, Oh, COVID probably
14:49 came from a level four lab in Wuhan.
14:52 And for the last year, plus if you said something like that, you were silenced on social media.
14:56 And if you said something like that in the media, you were basically called QAnon conspiracy
15:00 there, that type of thing, because the media essentially wanted to cover it up.
15:03 And people in the government essentially wanted to cover that up.
15:06 They were essentially doing the bidding of the communist government in China.
15:09 Right?
15:10 But I'm going to kind of kind of come back to what we're talking about today.
15:12 But on May 25th, this is what the USA today did.
15:15 So the three days after they posted the original opinion piece, they edited the article without
15:21 Chelsea Mitchell's consent.
15:23 And they changed every instance of the word male to transgender through the entire article.
15:29 So that was 10 times by my count.
15:31 Okay.
15:32 And then they put a little editor's note at the top of the article and it reads this quote,
15:36 this column has been updated to reflect USA today's standards and style guidelines.
15:41 We regret that hurtful language was used, unquote, hurtful language was used.
15:50 Like the word male to describe someone that is a male.
15:56 That was the hurtful language that apparently sent ripples through the planet, right?
16:02 And guys, this all likely wouldn't have made any waves except that the girl and ADF noticed
16:07 and ADF actually posted the unedited original on their site and I'll put the link in the
16:12 show notes for that.
16:13 But they literally edited reality to conform to wokeism because I don't remember hearing
16:19 the outrage about this article.
16:21 I don't remember seeing it on Twitter.
16:22 I don't remember any of my, you know, woke friends on Facebook posting.
16:25 I don't remember any of that.
16:27 This was like preemptive editing.
16:30 It was that this woman had the gall to stand up for herself and her other female athletes
16:35 and to use something that's biologically real and that's calling a biological male a male.
16:40 And that was beyond the pale way we couldn't possibly have that be the thing.
16:45 And for the USA today to basically create correct wrong speak, I mean, that's that's
16:51 something special in and of itself because we live in an era now where if you think the
16:55 wrong thing, you're going to be shut down for that, but they already posted this.
16:59 And so the only logical explanation that this would have, you know, been posted in the first
17:04 place by USA today is that somehow someone got tricked, right?
17:07 Or maybe someone that one of the interns that actually posted it online went against what
17:11 the management said to do and posted it with the words mail in there, you know, those crazy
17:15 words, the words mail.
17:17 But no, they thought that this was an acceptable thing, but 72 hours of you literally probably
17:22 a few dozen people on Twitter being angry about it was too much for them because when
17:26 you switch out the word mail for transgender, it doesn't make any sense because they didn't
17:32 even say transgender male, right?
17:34 Our chance to transgender female, which would be a biological male that thinks he's a girl
17:38 or is pretending to be a girl because it's one of those things like the thing about these
17:42 boys that's so interesting is these boys were nothing's on the male track team.
17:48 And then all of a sudden they go through this internal issue, which again, I don't presume
17:52 to know anything about these kids, but is it not interesting that all of a sudden they're
17:55 having these issues?
17:57 And then all they do is grow their hair out and paint their nails and wear lipstick and
18:00 then they're winning all these races and it's sending them further down the pathway of doing
18:04 something that's potentially damaging to them for the rest of their lives, right?
18:08 I mean, if these boys go through with, you know, the hormone treatments and the surgeries
18:12 and all that to quote unquote become a girl, which is not real, that's a huge issue for
18:16 them.
18:17 And I don't think that we should be, you know, putting these people up on pedestals, literal
18:21 pedestals and saying, yeah, you won the gold medal girl, you did it.
18:25 You go girl like we shouldn't be doing that.
18:27 Now from this story, I kind of have some random thoughts that I wanted to go through.
18:30 And the first is that feminism and transgenderism can never mix ever because what this girls
18:37 making in this blog are some several feminist points.
18:41 And so I'll go back to a couple of the quotes here with every loss it gets harder and harder
18:44 to try again.
18:45 That's a devastating experience.
18:47 It tells me that I'm not good enough that my body isn't good enough and that no matter
18:51 how hard I work, I'm unlikely to succeed because I'm a woman.
18:54 And then a little bit later in the article, she says this, the course decision to do so
18:58 tells women and girls that their feelings and opportunities don't matter and that they
19:02 can't expect anyone to stand up for their dignity in their rights.
19:06 That's wrong.
19:07 And it chips away at women's confidence and our belief in our own abilities, right?
19:11 Because here's the thing, if you ask a feminist, what's a woman?
19:15 The answer is simple.
19:16 They're going to give you a very simple answer, right?
19:19 They're going to say, XX chromosomes, they're going to say biologically a woman presents
19:22 as a woman, sexually a woman, all those things, right?
19:24 And potentially, you know, has all the plumbing to potentially bear a child, all, all those
19:28 things, right?
19:29 The answer is similar, like very, very simple.
19:32 But as a supporter of transgenderism as a worldview and you ask them, what is a woman?
19:37 Everything falls apart.
19:39 Everything falls completely apart because they can't answer the question because there
19:43 is a biological reality to what is a woman or a female, right?
19:48 It's not on a spectrum.
19:50 It's not, well, there's a difference between sex and gender.
19:52 And let's talk about this obscure level of research over here and this little thing that
19:55 this guy wrote back in the '70s that we tend to like and, you know, hinder old worldview
19:59 dawn.
20:00 No, you can't do that.
20:01 Feminism and transgenderism can't live even in the same, the breakdown is LGBTQ+, it doesn't
20:08 belong together.
20:10 Those things are oil and water.
20:12 Another thing I thought about is that if you think having a male body, because I've had
20:16 people argue this, I've heard them argue this, that if you think that having a male body,
20:19 your entire life until your quote unquote transition process provides no physical advantage, you're
20:26 literally a moron.
20:28 You're a dumb dumb.
20:29 You're not a smart person because men, biological men have testosterone.
20:34 They have larger hearts.
20:35 They have bigger muscles.
20:36 They have larger denser bones.
20:38 They have higher red blood cell count, which is better for aerobic advantages and women
20:42 have higher estrogen, which leads to having more fat.
20:45 They're more easily injured, right, especially at some of the weaker joints, right?
20:49 So pretend like there's no advantages is insane because a lot of these proponents will
20:53 be like, no, no, no, no.
20:54 Like these people are on puberty blockers or they're on, you know, testosterone therapy
20:59 or they're on estrogen therapy or they're on these things.
21:01 So that is even the playing field.
21:03 But here's the deal.
21:04 But let's say right now I decided not that I'm going to become a woman because that's
21:07 ridiculous.
21:08 So I'd have to have a part of my brain removed before I even thought about that.
21:11 But let's say I wanted to present myself as a woman that I wanted to go through some
21:15 of these treatments to where I could have much, much lower levels of testosterone, higher levels
21:19 of estrogen, blah, blah, blah.
21:20 And then I wanted to compete in women's jujitsu tournaments.
21:23 I still have 30 plus years of being a man.
21:28 My bones are still my bones.
21:31 My muscles are still my muscles, even if they don't present themselves in the same way.
21:35 It's kind of the argument when you hear guys talk about, it's not really a big deal.
21:38 You know, if people test positive in things like MMA or something like that, because even
21:43 if you get off the juice right before the fight, it's not like all of the positives you've got
21:48 from going on a steroid cycle just disappear, you still have a lot of those residual positives.
21:54 Like for any of you guys that have maybe been injured or something like that.
21:56 So let's say you had, you know, I'm trying to think of a good example, but I had a buddy
22:00 of mine who basically just stopped going to the gym for a long time.
22:03 Very, very good athlete, but stopped going to the gym for a long time.
22:05 Like didn't bench press for over a year, like you never even laid down on a bench.
22:09 And then I took them to my house.
22:10 We walked out in the garage and put 225 on the bench and he put it up for about 12 reps
22:13 before he got bored.
22:14 This is not a big guy.
22:15 This guy weighs about 185 pounds, 190 pounds.
22:17 The thing is his strength was still there.
22:20 Your strength isn't just going to disappear.
22:21 And this isn't a guy that was on steroids.
22:23 It's not the point I'm making.
22:24 I'm basically saying there's a massive advantage for men, obviously.
22:27 And another thought, I guess the last thought I'll get to here on this before we move on
22:31 is if the transgender revolution doesn't end with the full eradication of divisions of
22:39 male and female sports, it is full of crap.
22:43 This entire movement is completely nonsensical, okay?
22:49 Because here's the thing.
22:50 If you're going to argue that there are no biological realities whatsoever to contend
22:54 with, then we need to do away with men's sports and women's sports and just have sports.
23:02 No title nine, no protection for women, none done, finished, finito, none of that.
23:08 But why aren't they pushing for that?
23:11 Why aren't they saying let's not have an NBA and a WNBA?
23:14 Let's just have just, let's even create a new organization, not even call it the NBA.
23:18 Just call it, you know, something else.
23:19 Why don't we just do that?
23:20 And anyone who wants to try out can try out.
23:24 So all of these WNBA players, which I know you guys are huge fans of, right?
23:27 Pick your favorite WNBA player.
23:30 Does she make a roster?
23:31 Well, and at that point, since we're supposed to spending reality, we wouldn't even call
23:36 her a she, we would call her a meh, or just something ridiculous because we would not
23:40 be talking about differences between female and male.
23:44 Why aren't people talking about that?
23:46 Why aren't the people that are on the woke revolution on the transgender revolution talking
23:49 about the full eradication of any separation in the sports?
23:53 Why not?
23:54 There is no difference.
23:55 Right?
23:56 When I actually went, I was talking to one of my buddies and my fox all the other day
23:58 about this.
23:59 And this is what it's actually going to have to happen.
24:01 I want there to be a high school men's basketball player because basketball will probably be
24:05 the easiest way to see this, you know, write up because of how close those, those sports
24:08 are and how many people pay attention to them.
24:10 So a men's high school athlete, right?
24:13 That is highly touted to go to a really big basketball school, Kansas or Duke or UNC
24:18 or something like that.
24:20 And I want that person to say, you know what?
24:23 I could probably do well playing in the NCAA men's divisions.
24:27 But you know what?
24:28 I'm actually a woman.
24:29 I see a track for myself.
24:31 You know, maybe I could have a decent college career, but I don't see a really a track for
24:34 myself in the NBA, but I do want to be a professional athlete someday.
24:37 So my pathway is the WNBA.
24:39 And so I'm actually going to go to Baylor or to OU or to Yukon and I'm going to play
24:44 women's basketball because here's the thing.
24:47 If you're the coach and you don't accept the women's player on your team, if you don't
24:50 even recruit that player, you're a bigot.
24:52 So that player, that boy is going to get hit up by all of the women's teams.
24:57 And I just want to watch that person go off for 85 points and 60 rebounds and 120 blocks
25:04 a game.
25:06 Let's make a mockery of that as a sport.
25:09 I think that that in the thing is, is I don't want that because it would be cruel to the
25:12 women.
25:13 That's the least reason that I would want for that.
25:15 I want that because I want people to see where their ideology goes, that if we extrapolate
25:20 your ideology all the way out to its logical ends to the end points, that's where you're
25:25 going to see something like that.
25:28 And that's in a non-contact sport.
25:29 Basketball is not really a contact sport, but what about these people that are advocating
25:32 it for wrestling, for boxing, for MMA?
25:37 And any of you that listened to Joe Rogan experience, obviously he's talked about Fallon Fox a
25:40 lot.
25:41 This was a person that was presented themselves as a man for 30 years, even father children,
25:45 and then ended up going and transitioning to become a woman.
25:49 And I don't even know was on that many treatments and actually was able to fight women and some
25:52 of these smaller MMA organizations actually broke a woman's orbital bone, right?
25:57 I think it was maybe even her skull, like caved her skull in, right?
26:00 Because there was a man hitting a woman at that point.
26:02 We were all supposed to be like, oh, this is great.
26:04 This is great for women's sports, right?
26:05 But I do want to transition out now.
26:07 I've gone on a bunch of different tangents.
26:09 Hopefully you guys have followed me on a lot of that.
26:11 I want to talk about why this story should matter to you, to you specifically, why this
26:16 story should matter.
26:18 The first reason is that we have to protect our girls and women.
26:22 We have to.
26:24 So for me personally, obviously I just have one kid, oh, I have a son, but you know, my
26:28 wife and I do want to have more kids, it's a potential that we might have a girl someday.
26:32 And I want that girl to play sports.
26:34 That's one thing that my wife and talked and I have talked about is our kids are going
26:38 to have to play sports.
26:39 They can choose to play sports.
26:40 We're not going to be the crazy sports parents, but they have to play sports because the positives
26:44 that come from doing an individual or a team sport are so great, no matter what you end
26:48 up doing in your life, whether you're in business or go into some sort of academia,
26:51 it's going to have positives for you.
26:53 But if there is no place for our girls to play, then what are we doing this for?
27:00 Just think about the women, you know, 80 years ago, 90 years ago, that just wanted the chance
27:04 to play in their own league, a league of their own, if you will, they just wanted that opportunity
27:11 and they got it.
27:13 And here we are 50 years after the beginning of title nine and we're pretending like there's
27:16 no biological difference between boys and girls.
27:20 And that girl, I think that girl that actually wrote that article, Chelsea, I think she is
27:24 actually a collegiate track athlete right now.
27:26 I couldn't find the school or anything like that.
27:28 To be honest, I didn't, I didn't look that much at it, but I think she is actually enrolled
27:31 at a university and as a collegiate athlete now.
27:33 But what if she was a fringe athlete that taking one or two more state titles, would
27:40 have put them over the top and got them recruited and got their schooling paid for, right?
27:45 Almost ensuring a more positive future for themselves.
27:48 What if that was taken away by a boy, a boy that couldn't hack it on the men's team, decided
27:53 to become a girl, to compete against girls, to win and to get scholarships, take away opportunities.
27:59 A lot of you people don't really understand kind of that whole sports recruiting aspect.
28:04 It takes one scout sometimes, like we just always assume that, you know, every kid is,
28:08 you know, Tim Tebow coming out of college where they were offered by like 50 schools
28:11 or something like that.
28:12 That's not really the case for most of these athletes.
28:15 Some of these athletes might get a single offer.
28:17 And so the only decision they have to make in terms of where they, you know, in terms
28:20 of college is, do I go to college or do I not go to college?
28:24 Do I go and play this sport at this school or do I not do that, right?
28:28 So we have to protect those opportunities for our girls and for our women.
28:32 Another reason why this story should matter to you is because we've seen fringe ideologies
28:38 and we've seen how they can become mainstream almost overnight.
28:42 Again, I talk about this all the time.
28:45 We talk about the Overton window 10 years ago.
28:48 We're not even having this discussion.
28:50 That would have been such a nonsensical thing.
28:53 I think that's the third time I've used that word in this podcast.
28:55 But literally it would be so nonsensical at that point to think that, oh yeah, we should
28:59 totally let a boy with long hair race against girls.
29:03 That totally makes sense.
29:05 Now think about where we are.
29:06 If you say that out loud, just imagine if you were to post that on Facebook right now,
29:11 all the comments that you would get, right?
29:12 You would get some people be like, yeah, get them, you know, you know, stand up for truth.
29:15 But then it would be a bunch of people that are just like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe
29:18 you would say something like that, yeah, I wonder what your wife would say.
29:20 Oh my gosh, if your girls heard you talking like this, oh, what a big, what a terrible
29:24 person you are again, not even a decade ago.
29:27 It was fringe.
29:28 It was completely on the outside.
29:30 It's mainstream now.
29:31 And it's not mainstream in the sense that we have this overwhelming population of transgender
29:35 people or people that have gender dysphoria who actually think they're the opposite sex.
29:39 You know, these people that have a mental disorder that needs to be treated, right?
29:43 This just all of a sudden is something that you have to accept whole cloth.
29:47 That's why it should matter to you because it was fringe not that long ago, I talk about
29:50 this all the time.
29:51 And I've talked about this and you've heard people like Matt Walsh talk about this and
29:54 some other commentators.
29:56 This is all kind of paving the way for relationships between adults and minors, right?
30:02 For legal pedophilia.
30:04 Because again, if you extrapolate this out even one or two steps further, if a boy or girl
30:09 can decide whether or not they are a boy or a girl before the age of 18, right?
30:14 So they're a child, right, even as young as maybe four or five, they can decide that
30:17 they're the opposite sex and go through hormone treatments and get surgeries and all that.
30:21 Why can't they then decide who they're going to have sex with?
30:25 Now again, that's not my ideology to any of you that are going to clip this later and
30:28 pretend like I said that.
30:30 I don't believe that at all.
30:31 That's dangerous and evil, but that's where this is going.
30:36 And for those of you that think I'm insane, I want you to clip this on the date that you're
30:40 watching it on, right?
30:41 I want you to remember that I said this because I don't think it's going to be that long until
30:45 we start hearing that as an argument because we're already seeing polyamory.
30:49 We're already seeing people that are talking about, you know, hey, I've got three dads
30:52 and one mom.
30:53 We've already seen stuff like that at certain pockets of the United States, but some form
30:57 of pedophilia, legal pedophilia, it's going to come.
31:00 It has to because of this ideology again, if you're 12 years old, you're a 12 year old
31:05 boy and you think you're a girl, why can't you also be a 12 year old boy and think that
31:10 you can have sex with a 30 year old man or a 30 year old woman?
31:15 Why would that matter, right?
31:17 Because you can choose it again to reiterate.
31:20 I don't believe that at all, but remember when that was a fringe ideology?
31:24 I want you to remember I said that years down the road when that becomes true.
31:26 I hope I'm, I hope I'm wrong more than maybe anything I've ever said.
31:29 I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't think I am.
31:32 Another reason why this story should matter to you is that we've got to be prepared to
31:36 fight against nonsense ideologies that damage people and be willing to use the legal system.
31:42 Okay.
31:43 So that's kind of that next step.
31:44 Obviously, this girl and the other plaintiffs, they probably came from families that were
31:48 of means to even start that legal process.
31:51 And then this got picked up by the ADF and they're kind of pushing this process even
31:55 further, but you have to be willing to use the legal system.
31:58 Now this may not end up being good, right?
32:00 The second circuit court could shut this down.
32:03 It could go all the way to the Supreme court and it could get shut down there.
32:06 And then it's just an issue.
32:07 It's a loss for these girls.
32:08 It's a loss for girls all over the country, but what if it's the exact opposite?
32:13 What if it's upheld in the second circuit?
32:16 What if it does go all the way to the Supreme court and it's not upheld with the second
32:20 circuit?
32:21 What if it is reversed on the second circuit?
32:22 If it goes all the way to the Supreme court, let's say it's reversed and these, you know,
32:25 it's in, you know, it's two thumbs up for the plaintiff, essentially, that's one of those
32:29 things that that has a ripple effect for the entire country.
32:32 And it was because there was a group of people that started with these young teenagers and
32:36 probably their parents and they were willing to challenge just using the legal system.
32:40 We've got to be prepared to do the same thing.
32:43 Another reason why this should be important to you is that we need to vote for and support
32:47 politicians, you know, slash lawmakers that are reasonable and are willing to throw down.
32:53 Right?
32:54 So a good example of that is Florida Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.
32:57 So Ron DeSantis, I'm becoming a big fan of his, right?
33:00 As much as I probably can be of a political candidate and that type of an environment.
33:04 I'm kind of hoping that Trump, you know, just quietly gets out of the way to maybe pave
33:08 the way for someone like Ron DeSantis, because I think he has some of the best qualities
33:11 of a Trump, but he doesn't say as many stupid things out loud, but this is actually an article
33:15 from Ryan Saverdra from the Daily Wire.
33:18 So I'm going to read just the first few paragraphs of this because this just happened today as
33:22 of the recording of this.
33:23 It'll be released a few days later, but on June the 1st, Florida Republican governor,
33:26 Ron DeSantis kicked off the start of Pride Month by signing a bill into law, the Fairness
33:30 and Women's Sports Act that protects female athletes from having to compete against biological
33:35 males.
33:36 We believe in the state of Florida of protecting the fairness and the integrity of women's
33:39 athletics, DeSantis said, and I can tell you this in Florida, you know, girls are going
33:43 to play girls sports and boys are going to play boy sports.
33:47 And that's what we're doing.
33:48 We're going to make sure that that's the reality.
33:51 So the bill that we're doing today will ensure fairness and women's athletes for years to
33:55 come in the state of Florida.
33:56 It says that the athletic teams or sports that are designated for females are open to
34:00 females and we're going to be based off biology.
34:03 The bill defines a student's biological sex based on the student's official birth certificate
34:07 at the time of birth to Santa's continued.
34:10 And as part of the bill we're signing today, we're not only making sure women have opportunities
34:14 for scholarships and competition at the highest level, we're also putting in statutes away
34:18 in statute ways to actually vindicate the rights of any women athletes who may be discriminated
34:23 against.
34:24 And moving forward, any student who's deprived of an athletic opportunity as a result of
34:28 a violation of this law will have the right to civil remedies.
34:32 Any school or public post secondary institution that suffers direct or indirect harm as a
34:36 result of a violation of this bill, including by a government entity accredited organization
34:41 or athletic association can also pursue civil remedies.
34:45 Any students who is subject to retaliation as a result of reporting a violation of this
34:49 bill can also pursue civil remedies.
34:52 Okay.
34:53 So this is round of Santas that is saying, Hey, we're drawing a line and stand here state
34:58 of Florida.
34:59 We're not going to stand for this.
35:00 Okay.
35:01 Well, we're not going to, we're not going to mess with all this nonsense.
35:03 We're going to put it into it.
35:05 And this is somewhat political theater, but he does it on the first day of pride month,
35:08 right?
35:09 So he is saying, bring me your arrows, right?
35:13 Shoot on my way.
35:14 I don't care.
35:15 We were standing up for what's right.
35:16 So, but again, Ron DeSantis was voted in.
35:19 He didn't just become the governor of Florida.
35:21 He had to be voted in.
35:23 So this is a reasonable human being that is willing to stand up for reason.
35:26 I think that's important.
35:27 Another reason why this should be important to you guys is that in this really relates
35:30 to the last thing I just talked about, is that you are quickly going to have to decide
35:34 where you will raise and educate your children.
35:36 If you haven't already, a lot of people have already moved out of some of these more liberal
35:40 states, mainly because of the stuff they were doing during the lockdowns or things like that.
35:44 But a lot of these decisions that you're going to have to make may not even come down
35:47 to just the state you're going to be living in, it may come down to the county and maybe
35:51 even the city that you're living in, because you're going to have cities that are separated
35:56 by a couple of miles that are going to have completely different ways of viewing things
35:59 like this.
36:00 And you're going to have to decide, am I going to let my kids be around stuff like that?
36:05 Am I going to let my kids potentially lose out on opportunities because of what's going
36:10 on in the minds of a few intellectuals that are in this one little community?
36:14 Right?
36:15 Also, this is just another call to action for you guys to don't be asleep at the will.
36:19 If you have your kids in public school, because I know for some of you don't have the option
36:22 of private school, but if you have your kids in public school, right?
36:26 You got to make sure you know who their teachers are.
36:28 You got to make sure you know what the principal thinks.
36:30 You got to make sure you know who's on the school board.
36:32 You got to make sure you know who the mayor is and who the local representatives are.
36:36 All those things matter because all of a sudden, if your kids 17 and competing in a
36:41 particular sport and all of the wins of change have not moved in your direction, well, guess
36:46 what, you can't get them out of office quick enough before your kid misses out on that
36:50 opportunity.
36:51 And so for all of us, we have to make those decisions.
36:53 For me, I've got a one year old.
36:55 I only got a few years to kind of really decide kind of where we're going to start his educational
36:59 journey and what that's going to look like in my community.
37:02 We're not going to be dealing with what people are dealing with in, you know, Seattle or Portland
37:05 or, you know, California, San Francisco, New York City or something like that, but we're
37:09 still going to have to deal with some of those things and I got to be ready for it.
37:12 And the last thing in this is what we'll end on is that this new story is obviously about
37:17 more than sports.
37:18 That's why this should be important to you.
37:20 It's about more than sports.
37:21 It is about truth in general because this might seem like just a story about a single
37:27 athlete in a state that no one's visited, right, or no one's really been to, but that's not
37:32 what this is.
37:33 That's not what this is at all.
37:35 This is about what are we standing up for as a society because this girl is a real victim
37:41 of horrible ideologies, broken ideologies.
37:45 Again, she said in her article, I don't know what opportunities I missed out on because
37:50 I was competing against boys and I missed out on multiple state championships that I
37:54 would have won.
37:55 I missed out on multiple meets where I should have been competing, but I didn't because
37:58 I didn't qualify and so did the people that were around me.
38:02 It's about truth because there is truth.
38:05 There are people with XX chromosomes.
38:07 I'm talking about the majority of people here, the overwhelming majority.
38:09 They either have XX chromosomes or they have XY.
38:13 They're either female or male.
38:15 That's it.
38:16 There's not a spectrum in between those two things.
38:18 There are two realities and if you have a human being that is struggling because they
38:23 think they're the opposite sex, the correct response is not to say you're probably right.
38:28 Let's give you pills.
38:29 You're probably right.
38:30 Let's cut off your penis.
38:31 You're probably right.
38:32 Let's get rid of your boobs.
38:33 That should not be your response.
38:35 You should have a very empathetic response to this person.
38:38 You should want to help them out.
38:39 You are not helping them by playing into their fantasy, by playing into whatever broken thing
38:44 is going on inside their brain.
38:45 That person needs treatment.
38:46 They need help and I've been called a transphobe for saying that people that have gender dysphoria
38:51 need help, but that's exactly what they need.
38:55 You don't play in to what they're saying, especially if it could potentially lead to
39:00 irrevocable harm for that person.
39:03 You don't do it.
39:04 So guys, we got to be ready.
39:06 All right guys, before we let you go, we are going to do a quick resilience boost at Undaunted
39:08 Life.
39:09 Our mission is equipping men to push back darkness with content that for just spiritual, mental
39:13 and physical resilience.
39:15 So for today, I've got the blog that is actually the one that was posted on the ADF website.
39:19 So this is the original blog from Chelsea Mitchell.
