Two of the most influential surfers in 2023, Sasha Jane Lowerson, left, and Kelly Slater.

LGBTQ+ community cock-a-hoop as World Surf League tentatively opens door for transgender women to compete at highest level despite Kelly Slater arguing for a “trans-only division”!

But opposition! "Women’s sports is not a backup plan where you can’t win a trophy (and $) in the men’s division."

Through the middle of last year surf fans were gifted the rare sight of a transgender woman tearing hell through the women’s long boarding league over there in Western Australia. 

Sasha Jane Lowerson, a svelte forty five year old with terrific arms, transitioned into womanhood in 2020 shortly after winning the men’s longboard div as Ryan Egan and didn’t look back, adding a new trophy ever other weekend it seemed to a mantlepiece already groaning with trophies.

“Trans-girls aren’t going to take over the world, we just want to be included, we’re humans too,” Lowerson said. “I’ve been hiding in this male shell up… for 42 years. To still be made to be that guy that I’m not, it’s shattering,”

A feel-good story for the times.

Surfing’s reactionary core was laid bare, however, when Momentum Generation funnyman and Kelly Slater bandmate Peter King waded into the trans-athlete imbroglio saying,

“Stay out of women’s sports where you miraculously win after being an average performing man. Women’s sports is not a backup plan where you can’t win a trophy (And $) in the men’s division. Leagues like WSL and sponsors like Red Bull will you now stand up to this now instead of harming women’s sports?”

Kelly Slater added, “Make a trans division and we don’t have this confusion.”

Of course, when Lowerson failed to win the  Australian longboard title, the media was conspicuously silent.

“It’s pretty amazing the message that you guys the media send to us all!” Lowerson wrote in an Instagram DM. “I just finished fourth in the Australian titles and nothing but the sound of crickets! Listen, I am happy that there isn’t disgusting skewed opinions being published about my inclusion. However, I’m sure as two well-educated men that you two are, both of you can surely see the irony of what I’m pointing out right now! The press love to chant about how it’s only unfair when we (trans-athletes) win!”

Now, the World Surf League, has tentatively opened the door to trans-women competing so long as they’ve been a gal for at least twelve months and their hormone levels are real low ie less than 5 nanomoles per liter continuously for the previous 12 months (biological men hover between 10 and 35, bio-gals under three), although the WSL won’t be doing the testing.

Instead, each athlete will supply their own supporting documents. 

“The WSL is working hard to balance equity and fairness and it’s important for a policy to be in place,” the WSL’s newly anointed Chief of Sport Jessi Miley-Dyer told the oft-controversial adult learner surfer website The Inertia. “We recognize that the policy may need to evolve over time as we get feedback and see new research in the field.”

Now, again, one more time, and more importantly, and since we couldn’t agree last two times, what are your favourite tranny-themed movies?

Or, perhaps closer to home, describe your favourite encounter with this exotic species?

Poem #8:

Me &Dylan, reachin out
Different chaos, different times
Times they are a changing
Figure it out

It’s election time
No Vietnam war
Still, times they are a changing
We’re exchanging

High tech battles
Video games
Keep’s a boy from his father
That, and the sex change…

Beef and Beer brought up something funny that happened years ago, before Tav was opened up to the masses.

As you drive through Nadi, you pass clubs with large women outside recruiting sailors and curious touro’s.

Arrived on the island and mentioned the scene outside the bar and an Aussie had a story to tell. Apparently, as a prank, the group before ours left two groms at the bar in question. Kids arrived at the launch the next morning visibly rattled.

Shave your head or be left behind at the bar? Taj got off easy.

He always seemed happy to me.

Met him at the premier to the Bruce movie. Bruce and Andy were so coked up I’m not sure they entered the theater.

Taj was walking around with an open tall Coors light in his hand as if the Newport Beach Police were not nazi’s. We warned him, never stopped smiling.

As much as I don’t think this is a fair policy at all, I think the men should take a seat and let the women handle this. They can speak up when a trans man threaten their category. (Never). They don’t give two shits about women’s surfing but suddenly they all seem so concerned about this. Fuck right off.

Also, how many trans surfers have y’all met? Too much unnecessary noise.

exactly. all the faux outrage over something that affects so few.

my gay friends resent being lumped in with all the other letters….

but fear riles the masses and the first clue someone is fearful is the use of the term “Woke”.

no one wants men competing with women. it’s a gray area at the moment how to deal with morons like longboarding ugly.

there is a train of thought that bruce jenner transitioned when he was looking down the end of a prison sentence for killing that woman.

all a lot about nothing.

leveling the playing field so all can stomp in the mud…while the swamp is getting deeper all the time. stealing ur own sex should be a crime…against humanity…old school? sodomy and/or suicide is punishable and will lead directly to hell…(welcome)…there is no heaven there, here…only suffering and no sufferage…more anti-depressive stuff…PAUSE…

At Pavones years ago I stayed in cabinas that a tranny worked at. One night a couple guys in the cabinas across the way were getting on the beers at the cantina. I ran into one of the guys later that evening, he was visibly rattled. I asked him if everything was ok? He just starts going ah man it’s not good, Jeff and that tranny were getting hot and heavy in front of everyone at the cantina! Apparently the act of lust made quite the spectacle in like a freak show who the fuck are these gringos kind of way. I left early next morning on the bus so I never found out how that all “blew” over.

White Chicks is a classic tranny movie.

I once was surrounded by a pack of 8 bangchongs in a dark corner of Poppies 2 walking home solo very early in the morning about 15 years ago. It was scary shit! I pulled out a pack of condoms I had in my pocket as I’d just left a hookers apartment and distributed them to all them as they were closing in on me.
They were all very appreciative and let me go on my way. I was sweating bullets.

My favorite was having dinner with my wifes cousin from LA
He talked exclusively in innuendos and threw out the sluttiest vibe . He bragged he could get German guys to pay him thousands for a night of cum swapping.
Next day my wife told me that he blew our waiter in the carpark later that night
Hes also very rich from the drug bizz.
I wouldnt allow him in our house.

I worked with Kyle for4 years. Kyle was annoying and talked too much. Then Kyle became Kyla. I liked Kyla way more than Kyle.
Kyla was quiet and wasn’t as annoying Kyle.
But after time… it was evident that Kyle was still doing Kyla’s makeup.

They don’t realize that they’re about to destroy centuries of historical achievements made by women, all in the name of sheer ideological narcissism.

Western civilization is now heading for cognitive self-destruction through “collective psychosis”, while the rest of the world laugh and pity us all.

How about you start legitimately drug testing your athletes, weasl ?
Not going to happen, I know. Why bother seeing as Paws has already thrown the sport in the shithouse.
Pro Surfings a fucken disgrace. Pimped and whored out to anyone by a jerk from fucken Oklafuckenhoma. Thanks, Dirk. You’re a fuckwit, too.
