In response to a T-shirt that read “Save Girls Sports,” an opinion writer at the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that not all women have female chromosomes, and that the shirt itself was a sign of concern for the local transgender community. “They are exposing themselves to fear,” he said.
The remarks come against two female high school athletes who sued a California school district over identical shirts that were likened to Nazi symbols.
The female athletes wore the shirts in protest after a male athlete participating in the women's track and field event bumped into one of the female athletes on the cross country team. The students claimed that the athletic director claimed that forcing a transgender student to wear the shirt was the same as forcing a Jewish student to wear a swastika.
At a subsequent Riverside Unified School District board meeting, another cross country runner said the school stabbed a male student in the back after he expressed concern about him being in the locker room.
“I feel like the whole LGBTQ thing is being shoved down our throats and shoved in our faces, so much so that I feel like we're pretty much silenced from talking about it. “I've been there before,” the girl explained.
But Chronicle reporter Soleil Ho disagreed, calling the ordeal “an empty spectacle that degrades us all” and taking particular issue with the shirt itself.
Ho pointed out that one of the girls' fathers prints some of the shirts at a custom printing company, and apparel brand XX-XY Athletics has printed shirts that say “XX (Not Equal) XY.” He also criticized the fact that it was printed.
The author specifically mentioned the brand's CEO, Jennifer Say, claiming that her “sole purpose is to promote anti-trans activewear and fund right-wing influencers.”
Sei countered that her brand's mission is to “stand up for female athletes” and protect women's sports.
“Despite claiming to champion female athletes, no other sports brand does this. [Other brands] I have no interest in women's sports or female athletes. They sell wokeness and abandon women. We offer consumers the option to buy brands that align with their values,” Sey told Blaze News.
“Women are ○○. Men are XY.
In criticizing Sei, Ho did not mention the former gymnast's accomplishments. protect the girl They were abused while on the USA gymnastics team, an incident that shocked the nation in 2016.
instead, self-introduction “Queer” and “pansexual” people have accused the people selling the shirts of “actually It exploits the pain and humiliation of human beings.
At the same time, the author argued that the shirt is meaningless because “not all cis women have XX chromosomes.”
Say vehemently opposed this particular scientific claim.
“There are no studies that say this. What kind of propaganda 'newspaper' would compel 'journalists' to write such lies, even in opinion pieces?” Say asked. “Females are XX. Men are XY. Chromosomal abnormalities are rare and exist, but they do not constitute a third or fourth gender.”
Noting that Ho cited Algerian boxer Imane Kerif as an example of how women look different, Say simply replied, “Imane Kerif is a man.”
Sey concluded, “It's not difficult. XX is not equal to XY. That makes perfect sense.”
