Is Rep. Ilhan Omar Insanely Stupid?

Barry M. Ferguson

Minnesota’s socialist/marxist/communist America-hating US Rep Ilhan Omar has demanded that the state’s AG investigate the USA Powerlifting organization for discrimination because the organization won’t allow a man who identifies as a woman to compete against biological women. Ms. Omar thinks this is a case of discrimination against a transgender person from her constituency.

Ms. Omar states in her letter to the AG the following: “The myth that trans women have a “direct competitive advantage” is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world.” Ms. Omar cites a recent case in which the Independent Women’s Football League refused to allow a man identifying as a woman to participate in league play because ‘she is transgender’. The transgender person was awarded $20k in a lawsuit.

Let me explain the idiocy and irony of this idiot from idiot-land. Too harsh? Ms. Omar won her house election with 78% of the vote.

First, just because a person is ‘transgender’ does not give them the right and privilege to do anything they want. Discrimination is as overused as racism by the idiots that want special treatment. If a transperson has to sit in the back of the bus because there are no other empty seats, is that discrimination as well? If a transperson can’t automatically move to the front of a buffet line, is that discrimination as well? Is it discrimination when an airline won’t let a transperson who has never flown an airplane captain a aircraft?

Second, Ms. Omar claims that medical science does not support the idea that men transpeople have a physical advantage over biological females. Really? Ever play golf? There are two tees. One for men and one for women. Note to Ms. Omar - the men’s tee is furtherest from the hole. Why? Maybe because men are discriminated against by golf clubs? No, men are stronger and hit the ball further.

Let’s look at the brute strength sport of powerlifting. A quick check of world records shows that in every weight class, men who hold records in the bench press lifted a weight more than three times their body weight and one record is held by a man who quadrupled his body weight. Only one woman has ever tripled her body weight in the bench press. Medical science? Somebody needs to get this woman’s elementary school transcript. There is no way this woman ever went to college. (Actually, Ms. Omar holds a degree from North Dakota State. College degrees are not what they used to be.) This is stupidity on a level beyond Elmer Fudd. She seems to have skipped a few classes in anatomy and physiology. Maybe it was because she was busy marrying her brother to skirt immigration laws?

Third, Ms. Omar claims this type of ‘discrimination’ ‘continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world’. Huh? Stoke fear? Fear of what - being told ‘No you are not allowed’. Violence? I try to keep up with the news yet I have yet to read a story concerning violence towards a transperson. Most at-risk communities in the world? If this transperson is a serious powerlifter, I’m guessing they should be strong enough to take care of themselves.

Sorry, Ms. Omar but the most at-risk community in the world right now are the babies born in states like New York. The state just legalized infanticide with the full blessing of Ms. Omar’s political party. In the spirit of anti-discrimination, I think that since the mother can give birth to a baby in New York and then have a discussion with doctors about whether on not they should kill the baby, that it only makes sense to allow the baby to decide in that same discussion whether or not the mother should be allowed to live. Maybe the mother smoked crack or boozed it up in pregnancy. Now the baby is born and alive. Maybe the baby is pissed that the previous nine months have not been so swift and the mother has to go. But back to the idiot.

Forth, Ms. Omar cites the recent case in which a man transperson was refused from participation in a women’s football league. Why can’t women enjoy an activity just amongst themselves? The NFL puts enormous emphasis on safety of players. Why would a women’s sport not also be afforded the same efforts? If anything, this case discriminates against women. Biological women do not want to engage in contact sports with men for obvious reasons. Ms. Omar seems have have not only skipped classes on anatomy and physiology but also physics. Harder denser objects (men by nature have denser bone structure and muscle tissue) colliding with softer objects (women - thank God they are softer) will do damage to the softer objects.

Fifth, and lastly, here is the irony. Ms. Omar submitted her letter to the AG of Minnesota, Mr. Ellison. Mr. Ellison himself is an accused domestic abuser of a lady friend. The accusation was that Mr. Ellison physically dragged his girlfriend out of his house. Really? Seems biologic males do indeed have a physical advantage over biological females. 

The district in Minnesota that elected Ms. Omar must be very proud. Or, maybe they are all as dumb as their ‘representative’. God help us!
