"She doesn't support the WSL and she doesn't support equality."
Portugal is now in the rearview, officially, with the non-alcoholic sparkling cider still drying from winners Joao Chianca and Caitlin Simmers’ fine singlets. The ones dedicated to inspirational women in honor of International Women’s Day which just so happened to fall on the opening day of the MEO Rip Curl Pro window. I cannot recall who Simmers wore, though would have every right to don “Simmers.”
Chianca opted for “Weston-Webb.”
Well, it was rumored, at the start of the event, that Bethany Hamilton’s name would not be allowed due her boycott of the World Surf League over its new inclusive trans policy.
You certainly recall, two months ago, when the World Surf League quietly announced a change allowing for transgender athletes to compete at the highest level of the sport. Hamilton joined a chorus of frustrated voices and in a to-camera piece, declared that she would be boycotting the WSL until the policy was undone.
Even though WSL Chief of Exective Erik Logan said he “respected her views,” her name was mysteriously missing from the long list on celebrated women even though it had been chosen three times the year before.
Strange.
And now the pettiness has been confirmed. One of the Championship Tour surfers, on the men’s side, requested to wear “Hamilton” but was told he was not allowed. The reason given?
“She doesn’t support the WSL and she doesn’t support equality.”
Hmmm. That doesn’t read overly “respectful,” no?
In related Hamilton news, hours ago she confirmed that she is pregnant with her fourth child. It is yet unclear if the World Surf League will send congratulations or continue trying to scrub her, and her growing family, from history.

I don’t even remember what we were talking about. But the ‘mom’ retort clearly shows me how much more mature you are than me! Smell ya later!
Unfortunately, I have a heightened sense of hearing everything around me but never cared about people talking behind my back! How’s that going for you?
Nah, I just don’t keep up with the latest and never-ending rehashed terminology for describing effeminate men
The WSL (woke surf league) should just go all trans for their mentally ill “athletes. F’ ‘em. Let a better organization take over for the majority of actual athletes while they go out of business.
Which Gender is JMD?
He’s screaming out for a badge isn’t he. Little attention whore he is.
The rainbow raised fist “I have black friends” covers all the bases. You haven’t seen it? I’ve give you it.
You mean a bank that failed to hire a risk manager for all of 2022, donated $72 million to BLM, was more interested in woke virtue signaling, had only ONE person on the Board with any banking experience, the rest being fucking retarded democrat donors? That bank? Yeah, fuck them. Can’t believe they get a bailout. Or maybe I’m not surprised since Biden is the most corrupt piece of shit ever to occupy the WH.
Wouldn’t be the first time. He’ll probably try to call a truce and then delete it when he thinks I haven’t seen it, like he did the other week.
Just trying to work out how you know her size.
In other words. VS goes bat sheet crazy, and denies biological reality…like so many others.
Did any of them support Sascha Jane Lowerson ?
Yep. Insanity. I sure ain’t going to pretend it’s not.
That’s a lot of the problem though. When people want to keep avoiding “both sides”, totalitarianism takes over.
Don’t agree. It’s a healthy thing to despise cruelty, and evil. Isn’t it?
There is that Bible verse.
Psalm 97:10
Loving the Lord, and hating evil.
Aren’t you that theater fag?

No one will miss him
The thing is, because of all the human desires, and perversions that people don’t control, we create civilizations with laws. This “transgender” movement is about doing away with a common decency, and laws that draw necessary lines in the sand. Lines to at least try to prevent more unfairness, cruelty, debauchery, child molestation, rape, etc.
I know that’s no big news. I just get sick of people not being able, or willing to see that.
Impaling our civilization on the empty rhetoric of “DIE” (diversity, inclusion, equality) is just not a good thing in my book.

“Equality” these days seems to mean cheating. It’s just a bunch of meaningless, commie lingo.
