Yesterday, various news outlets began to plug an announcement that a new individual had become the “first woman to win more than $1 million on Jeopardy.” To be frank, that description lacked context.
Amy Schneider wins $1 Million on Jeopardy! https://t.co/4ejAVCbD3m

You can see that Amy Schneider, a biological male, is evident in the picture. Now, in the sense that a biological man who claims to be a woman still has a right to compete on Jeopardy, I don’t really care that much. It’s still (sort of) a free country, after all. But to actually let this person claim the title of “woman” when keeping historical records that were formerly limited to biological females is a different issue.
It wasn’t just Jeopardy, though. There was also this “report” from NBC News yesterday which claimed there is “little scientific evidence” that biological men have an advantage in womens’ sports, focusing on the case of a swimmer at Penn State.

This claims remind me of people pushing mask mandates or vaccine passports for COVID-19. They’ll cite some obscure lab study that shows masks work 20% of the time in a very specific circumstance (that doesn’t at all represent the real world) and then claim ideological victory. But in reality, you don’t need more studies to know masks and vaccine passports don’t work to stop the spread. It is enough to examine the data from real places such as Australia and New York. This clearly shows that they are unable to achieve this in any way.
This is the same. Why do we need more “scientific” evidence (whatever that means) that males have an advantage over females in womens’ sports when we can just look up the real-world sports records for the last century and see the advantage in full view? It’s obvious that biological men in peak physical condition are far more capable than biological women in peak physical condition when it comes to sports that require physical exertion.
Regardless, that combination of stories led The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, who has been very outspoken on this issue, to make this statement on Twitter.

I had to post it via someone else’s account because, as you’ve probably figured out, Walsh was banned from Twitter for his post. And just in case the above account also gets banned, deleting the embed, here’s exactly what was said.
One man is the best female Jeopardy champ of all times. A man is the top male college swimmer. He is also the Public Health Service’s first female four-star admiral. Males have dominated the female high school track as well as the female MMA circuit. At the end, it is all about patriarchy.
This whole thing seems very Orwellian to me. Individuals are free to decide what they wish about their identity. But there’s a difference between someone making a personal choice and that choice being imposed as objective reality while penalizing women who have done great things.
Amy Schneider is biological man. According to the above report, Penn State swimmer Amy Schneider is a biological woman. Records that had been relegated previously to the ranks biological women should not be handed out. That is a recipe for erasing the accomplishments of women throughout history, and it’s one that should not be abided by.
As to Twitter’s rules, they are asinine. Individuals should have the right to offer counter-opinions to the liberal transgender ideology. This is especially true if those opinions can be supported with evidence. For Walsh’s part, he will likely have to delete his tweet in order to unlock his account. Whether he will or not, we’ll have to wait and see.
