Not surprising that a woman bested 225 men and 39 women to win an "ultracycling" event in Europe.

This is about the only area where women can be competitive or even besting elite men.  Marathon swimming is another one.

Once again, it has to do with physiology.

Cyntoia Brown's case should prove to all the world the buying and selling of women and girls is not "work."

The Human Rights Tribunal in Canada is solely responsible for the Jessica Yaniv farce.  Devyn Cousineau in particular should be fired.

This episode has made Canada an international laughingstock.

There is an argument floating around social media that the tribunal has no choice but to hear every case that arrives in its mailbox. In legal parlance, that’s known as “wrong.” The tribunal dismissed six per cent of complaints in 2017-18 without so much as a hearing. By contrast, in her May ruling, Cousineau explained just how critical an issue Yaniv — flawed complainant though she might be — had raised.

“The substantive issue … is an important one,” she wrote. “Waxing can be critical gender-affirming care for transgender women. At the same time, it is a very intimate service that is sometimes performed by women who are themselves vulnerable. (Yaniv’s) complaints raise a novel issue around the rights and obligations of transgender women and service providers in these circumstances. There is a public interest in having the issue resolved.”

In legal parlance, that’s known as “bananas.” There is no need for any precedent or ruling from any court as to whether anyone should be compelled to touch another person’s genitals for the purposes of hair removal. The answer is no. Next question, please.

There are cases of people refusing service to customers where it can get tricky: How is declining to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple different than a lunch counter turning away black patrons? How is a university that prohibits sexual relations between same-sex couples different than one that prohibits mixed-race couples? This is not one of those cases. If an aesthetician doesn’t want to wax your junk, you’re just going to have to go to a different aesthetician. There’s no law that says it. There doesn’t need to be a law. It’s just a natural part of living in modern Western civilization. There is no human right to genital waxing.

Hope the Connecticut girls prevail in that outrageous case of the male cheaters in girls' track events.
