And in Hockey....

There is apparently a women's professional hockey league, and apparently, the #1 draft pick for Minnesota's team, Britta Curl, is in trouble for having stated in public that "transwomen" (men cosmetically altered to sort of look female) don't belong in the sport.

Now I understand the desire of "transwomen" to be accepted as female, but the fact remains that hockey is a contact sport (although the women's game does not allow checking, I'm told), and males (XY) are 25% heavier, 10-12% faster, 8% taller, and up to 80% stronger than females (XX).  So in this case, it's not just a case of unfair competition, but of people likely getting seriously hurt.

And on the off chance that Miss Curl is reading, welcome to Minnesota, and we desperately need sane people here, especially in the Twin Cities.  Praying for you to do well!
