Minnesota insanity: man cut from womens' football league sues for "emotional distress," wins $20,000

Minnesota has a women’s football league.  In what has now become a totally familiar scenario, a man claiming to be a woman decided he wanted to play.  The team and the league understandably said no.

 

So in the next utterly predictable act of this all too familiar play, the whiny son of a bitch sued, charging discrimination and emotional distress.

 

And in the final act, a jury in liberal-moonbat-ruled Minnesota awarded the whiny son of a bitch twenty-thousand bucks--ten thousand for emotional distress and another ten in punitive damages.

 

This kind of crap has become so routine in insane leftist-ruled states that it's no longer newsworthy.  And indeed, you didn't see it on CNN, MSNBC, ABCBSNBC, nor will you.  It's beome so routine as to have lost any shock value.  The reason I'm posting this is to show you how the Lying Mainstream Media in Minnesota reported the story.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune did an absolutely slobbering, adoring, fawning story.  Here's the opening sentence:

Christina Ginther, a transgender woman...

"A woman," eh?  This critter's no more a woman than I'm the King of England, but the moonbats will demand...you get it.

She thought she had found it in the fall of 2016 with the Minnesota Vixen football team, then part of the Independent Women’s Football League (IWFL). Team members welcomed her and cheered her on during an open practice before tryouts.

But when the team’s owner discovered that Ginther was transgender, the team yanked the welcome mat.

This week a jury found that the team and the league discriminated against Ginther because she is transgender, a violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Ginther was awarded $10,000 for emotional distress and $10,000 in punitive damages.

“These are the discriminatory things that happen to transgender people every day,” said Ginther’s attorney. “Even these small things can create significant mental health and esteem issues for transgender people.

Ginther, 46, transitioned to being a woman from 2014 through 2015, losing her marriage and many friends in the process. Wanting to rebuild her life in 2016, she searched for a supportive social group to join. She found that the Vixen team seemed to be a welcoming organization. Another publication had a story about a transgender female, Sabreena Lachlainn, who played for the IWFL after helping rewrite the league’s eligibility policy to allow transgender women to play.

At first the Vixen team seemed to embrace and encourage her, she said. But players acted differently toward her at the third tryout, she said. “Everyone was cold toward me.”

Apparently someone suspected that she was transgender and discovered one of Ginther’s social media accounts that documented her transition. A call Friday to the Vixen owner was not returned. “I don’t know what could have given me away,” she said.

After her transition, Ginther legally changed her name and the gender marker on her birth certificate. What she didn’t know, she said, was that the IWFL had changed its eligibility policy in 2012, requiring players to certify that they are and always have been legally and medically female.

“No trans person can say they are now and always have been,” said Ginther, who played in the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) the last two seasons — the Minnesota Machine in 2017 and the Madison Blaze in 2018. The WFA league welcomes transgender athletes, she said.  The Minnesota Vixen is now a member of that league, according to its website.

On the surface, the case may seem to be just about a transgender woman who wants to play tackle football, Ginther said. But discrimination is never just about a seat on the bus or being allowed to use a bathroom, she said.

“I love my country,” she said. “But it’s a terrifying feeling when you see your rights are being taken away.”

"When you see your rights are being taken away"?  And this whiny bastard means what he claims are HIS rights.  

So let's review:  Real, genetically-authentic women wanted to set up a sports league for...wait for it...women.  They managed to do that, and then this jerk demands that he has the absolute right--due to a law passed by a bunch of cuckold, virtue-signalling Minnesota legislators--to use his genetic height, weight and strength advantage to compete in the...wait for it...womens' league.

And when the team and league declined, on the grounds that it was a...wait for it...womens' league, this jerk has the gall to claim that HIS rights have been violated??

Of course that's only part of the insanity.  Two other pieces complete this absolute insanity:  First is the state's "human rights" law which made it possible for a man to collect $20,000 on the grounds that his rights were violated by not being able to play in a womens' football league.  Second is the equally insane Minnesotans on the jury, who found for the jerk in question.

Welcome to the new U.S.  Used to be a fairly sane nation.  Unfortunately that's no longer the case.  And because of illegal votes and increasing illegal immigration, we won't be returning to sanity any time soon.
