If you are the parent of a young figure skater or know parents of young figure skaters, please watch the following clip of "The Future of Figure Skating Podcast" titled "Trans Inclusion" hosted by "Journalist" & Podcaster Anna (Anna) of figure skating fan-outlet "Anything GOEs" (Anything GOEs). Anna has a "non-binary" gender identity and her X account profile says she prefers "they/them | 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️" pronouns. She regularly receives media credentials for major ISU Figure Skating & U.S. Figure Skating skating competitions all over the world where she directly interacts with and interviews figure skaters as young as 13 backstage. In the clip below, Anna's invited podcast guest -- a male rugby player with gender confusion and multiple hand tattoos (left, wearing a cap) -- explains to Anna (right, dark hair) that it's perfectly fine for biological men like him to compete in women's full-contact rugby. He explains that he himself competes in women's full-contact rugby all the time and he swears no one minds it at all and that he has definitely never caused any problems for any of the female rugby players whatsoever. (I'm sure we can trust him on that completely!) Then they switch to the main topic of the episode: "Trans Inclusion" of biological males in women's figure skating. The male guest who describes himself as a "passing" "trans woman" tells Anna that he can be "a pretty aggressive rugby player" and he "can throw some punches" but that he's "done being defensive now" and that trans activists should quote "call out the cis athletes, especially the cis women athletes who are quiet, and not [advocating for trans inclusion] because they are afraid of repercussions" or "who don't want to educate themselves [about trans inclusion]". Then he says: "To [those female athletes] I say: That's pathetic, and it's un-athletic and it's unsportsmanlike to act that way." Later he also says that trans activists "on the side of inclusion" should "not compromise with oppressors" and should "disrupt the system" and should "come out swinging" and should "actually fight back and throw a punch" in order to counteract the "violence" that trans-identifying athletes currently face in sport. Still later he says that he wants to "get in a room for 15 minutes with" a specific female athlete to explain to her why trans-identifying men should be allowed to compete in women's sports and "change the entire conversation". So to summarize: This man who describes himself as "pretty aggressive" and who can "throw some punches" says that any quote "cis woman athlete" who simply remains quiet and is not actively advocating for biological males invading women's sports and private spaces is quote "pathetic" and "un-athletic" and "unsportsmanlike". Also notice the thinly-veiled threat of violence spread through the entire conversation via aggressive language about "fighting" and "punching" and "getting in a room", etc. These are the intimidation tactics that young female athletes are currently subjected to -- for merely remaining quiet and saying nothing about this highly controversial culture war issue. I'd hate to hear what this man thinks about the young women who *do* have the incredible courage required to voice their concerns about biological males in their sports & private spaces! For him, those brave female athletes would presumably be even worse than quote "pathetic" and "un-athletic" and "unsportsmanlike"! Surprisingly, host Anna responds to this man's line of reasoning with nothing more than: "Yeah, for sure" and "Mmm-hmmm" while nodding her head in apparent agreement. In fact at no point in the interview does Anna challenge her male guest on any of his remarkable comments. Rather she clearly appears to affirm all of his sentiments and she expresses no concern for the safety of actual women and girls in figure skating. Reminder: This is -- allegedly -- "The Future of Figure Skating". The full episode of "The Future of Figure Skating Podcast" is still hiding in plain sight on YouTube with 266 views and 2 comments expressing support for this "important conversation": Anna is probably working today as an officially-credentialed media journalist for the fan-outlet "Anything GOEs" (Anything GOEs) at the "Skate Canada International" competition happening right now in Kelowna, BC, hosted by Skate Canada / Patinage Canada and ISU Figure Skating. Such journalists personally interview young skaters backstage, sometimes one-on-one. Please comment below what you think: Are Anna and her guest right? Is this "the future of figure skating"? Do you agree with Anna and her guest that "especially cis woman athletes" need to be "called out" if they don't advocate for the "inclusion" of trans-identifying males in their sport and in their private spaces? Do you agree with Anna and her guest that "cis woman" figure skaters are "pathetic" and "un-athletic" and "unsportsmanlike" if they don't actively advocate for the rights of biological males to compete in women's figure skating and to enter women's private spaces at figure skating events? Do you think Anna & "Anything GOEs" should continue to receive media credentials and backstage access to figure skaters as young as 13 at ISU Figure Skating, Skate Canada / Patinage Canada & U.S. Figure Skating events? (BTW, be sure to check out Anything GOEs' most recent think-piece by ISU Figure Skating-accredited journalist Izumi about the most serious issues plaguing Figure Skating today, including "white supremacy", "racialized heteronormativity", "nontransness", "genderqueer bodies" and "the primacy of testosterone", titled: "Skating Away from the Binary" currently available here: XX-XY Athletics Jennifer Sey Amy E.
