Conservative talk show host Michael Medved has slammed the first openly transgender college basketball player, calling Kye Allums's participation in collegiate sports "an insane level of political correctness."

"This absurd situation means either that the athletic officials inexplicably allow a man to play on a woman's team, or else they don't really consider Allums a man," Medved wrote. "The Allums example suggests that we take athletic competition too seriously to allow gender classification based on feelings alone."
I would have been surprised if someone conservative didn't complain.
I am so tired of society judging people on their gender and gender roles and what they are suppoe to do. What we are suppose to do is live and let live.
1) this talk show host either didn't read any of the articles or.... 2) he read them but is too stupid to understand them... as they clearly stated why, how and that everyone closely involved are happy with how it's been handled. By kicking up a fuss he only makes himself look stupid. oooooh well. :P
Maybe you haven't noticed, but stupid is winning.
and you're the mascot?
Damn right. And I'd be the cheerleader, agent, manager and sell it to you, take all your money and everybody else's retire in luxury while you and everyone else lives in poverty - what was the other option, being the consumer? The True Believer?
