Meet Valentina Petrillo, the self-confessed male Paralympic sprinter who, at the age of 51, has entered the female competition and is set to steal the women’s prizes while the pathetic authorities look on. The Telegraph‘s Oliver Brown has the details of the latest brewing Olympic gender scandal.
“This was a dream,” says Valentina Petrillo, who today became a Paralympic sprinter at the age of 51, “that I had since I was a little girl.” Except this is an athlete who was never a little girl in the first place. The Italian is a father-of-two who was still competing at 45 as a male, who won national titles in men’s track and field, and whose self-portrayal in 2021 was of a “tough guy who would speak dismissively of women, who would have given you the idea he was sexist”. And yet on Monday morning at the Stade de France, Petrillo, courtesy of institutional cowardice at every level, lined up in the visually-impaired classification of the 400 metres as a woman.
There is no biological ambiguity about Petrillo. Here is a figure who, in a documentary aired this summer, announced to the interviewer: “You can see I’m a man.” Here is somebody who accepts that women are entitled to feel “astonishment, confusion and doubt” about this indefensible state of affairs, acknowledging: “These doubts and questions are legitimate.” But still Petrillo feels entitled to enter the female category for the sake of “happiness”. Quite where the happiness of the women forced out of the Paralympics as a consequence fit into this equation is anybody’s guess.
The residual advantages of Petrillo’s physiological development as male are not difficult to detect. Last year, this former computer scientist won a bronze medal at the World Para-Athletics Championships in Paris in the T12 200 metres, depriving Morocco’s Fatima Ezzahra El-Idrissi of a place on the podium. This was despite Petrillo being 18 years older than anyone else in the field.
A straight comparison of the athlete’s performances in the men’s and women’s categories tells its own story. Petrillo’s results were conspicuously mediocre by the standards of male para-sports, with personal bests of 25.69sec in the 200m and 58.01 in the 400. That would not even have come close to the minimum male qualifying standard at these Paralympics of 54.00. Through recategorising as a woman, though, everything changes. Running as male, Petrillo won 11 Italian para-athletics titles. As female, the most controversial participant at these Games has won 27 – not to mention eight Masters titles, six Italian Paralympic records, one place in a European final and two global medals. And all when at least two decades beyond a sprinter’s supposed peak.
Worth reading in full.
Brown notably avoids pronouns throughout his article, presumably to avoid having to comply with the Telegraph‘s ridiculous insistence on using people’s preferred rather than biologically correct pronouns and referring to a self-confessed man as “she”.

Yep, here’s the bloody fraud in action. At least in this heat he was beaten by a woman but he obviously stopped another woman from qualifying and going through to the next round. Seriously, how to extend your career as a pro athlete when all other men have long since retired…Just identify as a woman. We need Seb Coe on the IOC team, stat!
”50 year old man reaches WOMENS 400m semi-finals at the Paris Paralympic Games.
Valentino Petrillo who said it was his “dream” to run in the women’s category, finished as one of the four fastest FEMALE runners up earlier today.”

Personally, I celebrate this sort of thing.
I can’t imagine a better way to sabotage the entire trans movement than taking the piss so blatantly.
This could even be a false flag op.
If it is – well done Sir!
Except it’s not sabotaging the trans movement at all is it? It’s sabotaging women’s sports. What this is doing for the trans fraudsters is just emboldening them. I know Seb is outspoken on protecting women’s sport, so going forward the Olympics should surely change dramatically in this regard if Lord Coe is at the helm of the IOC. As it stands it’s ran by Woketards. The women’s category is fast becoming the ‘mixed sex’ category. By your logic ”taking the piss” results in these imposters securing medals that they’ve achieved by cheating. The above athlete lived as a bloke for best part of five decades, but because it states ”female” in his passport and documentation he’s right as rain, according to the men in charge.
Pushing back on woke madness is a process that sadly is going to take some time, no matter what.
That said, of all the shitty things that can happen and do happen in the world, a handful of people not getting medals in olympic sports is definitely not the worst of them. And the bang for the buck the ridicule provokes is pretty big.
I’m not saying it’s ideal but nothing is in what is basically an ideological war.
”… of all the shitty things that can happen and do happen in the world, a handful of people not getting medals in olympic sports is definitely not the worst of them.”
Tell that to the women who’ve worked their arses off over the years to reach the pinnacle of their careers only to have their rightful achievements and ambitions snatched from them by some imposter parodying a female. Tell that to the talented girls who would like to progress further and take up sports professionally but watch these big competitions and see what’s passing for ”normal” now, and they’re meant to just shut up and accept it or ditch their sporting aspirations altogether.
Bit different when there’s no men losing out to women, easy to minimize what’s happening when you’ve no skin in the game, I guess.
That’s where you are wrong. Men lose out all the time.
Practically all men perform to a higher level in the olympics than even the best women. But we create a special category for women to get medals. You think the men that finish last in their events peeforming to a higher standadd than women but don’t get a medal because they don’t have a cervix don’t work just as hard as the women? Or even the men who don’t qualify for the olympics because they don’t meet the standard required only of men? They don’t work hard?
Creating categories for women is completely arbitrary, and I’m absolutely fine with it. But women losing out on medals to a guy because woke idiots want to pretend gender is a social constructs is comical and just not a tragedy on the same level as say a young girl who is “reaffirmed” in her “gender transition choice” and gets surgery only to discover it was just a phase. That’s a whole different level of tragic.
But men don’t lose out to women, like what we’re seeing happen all over the place to females, its only vice versa. Women aren’t coming along and cheating their way to medals that rightfully belong to the men. So how exactly am I wrong?
“…we create a *special category* for women to get medals”. And here’s me thinking it was just down to plain old common sense ‘separate them into their own sex so they’ve a level playing field’ type of approach.
And please point me to where I stated or inferred male athletes don’t work hard. Bit defensive, aren’t we? Again. Or is this the part where you start lobbing strawmen at me and accuse me of being “an angry and aggressive woman” all because you successfully demonstrate, time and again, how you can’t handle anyone of the opposite sex challenging your viewpoint or disagreeing with you?
It will take more than that.
Starmfuhrer’s Far Left rent-a-mob is well funded and well organised. They have had a long time and lots of money to get there.
The rest of us have no organisation and no money.
And even if we had either or both we are late to the game.
Nope. Disagree.
This is about well-funded useful Far Left rent-a-mob idiots being wound up to destablise western democracies.
None of them are protesting about the issues that affect the people of the UK. A few examples they should be on the streets protesting:
The UK is recorded as the homelessness world leader: see chart.
So that is one very good reason why the UK should not have any migrants until that problem is fixed as a nation.
This narcissistic charlatan and the two XY boxers at the Olympics have certainly brought the issues of women’s sport and women’s spaces to greater public attention. The contortions of the authorities, particularly Thomas Bach of the IOC, to justify not keeping women’s sport exclusively for XX people has shone a light on both the whole fetid swamp as well as immutable biological reality.
Additionally, I see that the ‘trans’ manager of the Sutton United women’s football team has vowed the intention to making the whole women’s team ‘trans’. In essence making the women’s team the Mens third team !! Another nonsense of note in a women’s sport currently being promoted by the woke.
All this helps push back on the far more insidious activity against children such as the CofE’s new anti-bullying guidance for its schools ‘Flourishing For All’, which is a disgraceful handbook of trans ideology to be used with children as young as four, teaching terms such as ‘cisgender’ and ‘non-binary’ and sowing the seeds of mental confusion.
Women’s sport needs to put up a fight; Feminists are doing a good job on women’s spaces; but we all need to fight for the children for that is where evil really lurks.
Off-T.
Breaking News.
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/breaking-news-royal-society-understates-net-zero-cost-by-500-million/
The actual underestimate is £500 Billion, not million.
It isn’t so long ago that Royal Society members were kicking up a stink about the blatant climate change activism of a once respected Society. It is actually estimated by the National Grid that overall Net Zero may end up costing 3 Trillion. ——And guess who pays that bill? Yes every person in the UK picks up that tab via their energy bills,,,, and all for what? So we can posture at podiums at UN conferences how we “fight climate change” when infact what we do in this country will have ZERO effect on global climate. But ofcourse it isn’t and never was about the climate in the first place.
You’re right of course, but can you refrain from this “Off-T” stuff? No one else does it, which is just as well, otherwise these comment columns would become unreadable.
Hux kindly puts “Off-T” right at the top to warn folks like you that you can remain completely sane and happy by completely ignoring what follows.
Stay sane, Corky.
It might be just me but to me there is a weird religious dimension to all the trans phenomenon.
It seems like an act of defiance – God created man and woman – hah, we’ll show Him who’s the boss! We can create reality the way we like it!
Ultimately the whole thing will of course collapse as it is based on deception and falsehood. The sad part of it is the damage it will cause in the process.
Check out my recent post on the Irish School Textbook item. Yes, we are being lied to but those lies have no power if people are coerced into believing them. Indoctrination is not intimidation – in fact they are almost opposites. If you believe Satan is the father of lies, which I do, the thing that renders him powerless is refusing to believe him.
Yes, I do believe that Satan is the father of all lies.
It also seems to me that, in contrast to truth, lies needs to be continually supported by further lies, but ultimately the whole system of lies is so fragile, it is in danger of collapsing all the time, which explains the furious, aggressive intolerance of those who try to maintain the entire pack of cards. It’s like they / Satan need to be active, on the attack, restless all the time because they are scared that if they just stop for a second, the pack of cards falls down. So there is really no peace for them ever.
This for me also explains why all this woke nonsense is continually self-perpetuating; the grievance never ending, the tone so aggressive.
Boys Will Be Boys or Girls,
Was he disabled, or merely identifying as disabled?
Neither, just a cheat.
He is taking the mickey out of the whole thing. The more who do it the more ludicrous the whole gender deception decomes.
Unfortunately there is only one way this nonsense can be resolved. —-Despite having put a lot of work time and money into their sport, women on mass are simply going to have to refuse to participate and trust me, if they do this on mass the authorities will capitulate overnight.
Sprinters jiggle their undercarriage dramatically remember dear Linford. Bit of a giveaway wouldn’t you say?
For those of us who are not visually impaired its quite apparent what he has between his legs and its not female genitalia! I don’t know for how much longer we have to endure this insanity but as a woman I have had enough of it!
These faux women might have to return their medals some day…
