And it would make that interesting twist as against the overall twists in general &#8212; I would assume it would be transitioned to men that would start dominating that field.  (An obnoxiously subjective one of measuring &#8220;grace&#8221; points when skating).  And there I scroll down the page.  I catch a photograph of some pretty looking man.  For a second I think &#8212; maybe that&#8217;s the same person as the woman earlier shown at the podium.  And no.  It is not.  That is some cis-guy in the men&#8217;s competition.  So this story is boring.  Biological woman wins skating contest, and we can knock off the letters at &#8220;l&#8221; if interested in her personal life &#8212; and maybe you are &#8212; because everything else confused the actual story.  Wake me up when she transitions to manhood and wins a contest &#8212; then we have something to debate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stare at the headline. &#8220;Amber Glenn becomes first LGBTQ+ woman to win U.S. Women&#8217;s Figure Skating Championship&#8221;.
