Wokeness isn’t over yet, but transgenderism has taken a back seat to newer and hotter causes like Hamas and preventing kings from taking over America, and when combined with President Trump’s orders on sex identity, the Olympics appears to be getting ready to keep men out of womens’ sports.
Earlier this year, Kirsty Coventry was chosen as the first female president of the IOC and Dr. Jane Thornton, the ‘scientific’ advisor to the Olympics and a former Olympian herself, was tasked with producing a report on whether men have competitive advantages against women. Thornton appears to have produced a report stating the obvious and without the woke moon logic that characterized previous events and that taking hormones doesn’t make them go away.
Having two women at the head of the next move is smart politics because whether the Olympics ends up banning men from competing against women, allows it or pursues some middle ground compromise, they’ll have women out front.
But it’s late 2025 and no one’s trembling in front of the transgender movement anymore. Between Trump’s executive order and the lack of enthusiasm for drag queen sports hour, the Olympics are likely to do at least 60% of the right thing.
And for one of the most corrupt international sports organizations (a high bar), the Olympics might even get it right.
Who knows.
