BBC Names Player Withdrawn From Tournament Over High Testosterone as Women’s Footballer of the Year

by Will Jones
26 November 2024 1:30 PM

The BBC has named a player who was withdrawn from a 2022 tournament after failing to meet gender eligibility rules over high testosterone as Women’s Footballer of the Year. The Telegraph has more.

Barbra Banda, who scored a hat-trick at the Paris Olympics and has become the second highest scorer in the United States’ National Women’s Soccer League this season, won the award from a five-player shortlist including Spain’s Aitana Bonmati, winner of the female Ballon d’Or. Banda received the most votes from BBC readers after being shortlisted by a panel of what the BBC said were “experts involved in football” including coaches, players and non-BBC journalists.

The controversy was reported by the BBC at the time, with Andrew Kamanga, President of the Zambian federation, telling the corporation’s Africa service: “All players had to undergo gender verification, a CAF [Confederation of African Football] requirement, and unfortunately she did not meet the criteria set by CAF.” Telegraph Sport established last year that Banda had never undergone a test and was de-selected for the competition as a pre-emptive measure.

Zambia said after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where Banda scored six goals, that they were aware the player’s testosterone levels exceeded CAF’s maximum levels and that a course of hormone suppression had been offered. But Banda, along with two other members of the starting XI – Racheal Kundananji and Racheal Nacula, both of whom also starred at the Paris Games – were said by the country’s FA to have declined medication amid concerns over potential side-effects.

The BBC report on Banda’s award does not mention any of this background, including only the 24-year-old’s immediate reaction that “my aim is always to score because I love scoring – it has not been easy but I think hard work and consistency have really helped”.

The choice from the shortlist was made by a vote among “BBC readers”. Which tells you a lot about who still reads the BBC these days.

Worth reading in full.

That’s what I thought when I saw the picture somewhere earlier, without knowing what the story was about.

One would be hard pressed to identify the person in that picture as anything other than male.

Imagine needing the Supreme Court to determine the definition of what a woman is? Yes the de-feminization/de-masculinization of society continues at pace. This is undoubtedly an attack on female sex-based rights and anyone who says otherwise is in denial and not on the right side of justice. I shared this news the other day but this is a different source;

”Judges at the Supreme Court are considering how women are defined in law in a landmark case brought by Scottish campaigners.
It is the culmination of a long-running legal dispute which started with a relatively niche piece of legislation at the Scottish Parliament, but which could have big UK-wide implications.
It will set out exactly how the law is meant to treat trans people, and what it really means to go through the gender recognition process.
And it could have implications for the running of single-sex spaces and services, and how measures aimed at tackling discrimination will operate in future.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgv8v5ge37o

Nice to know that if you pay a fiver for a gender recognition certificate you too can strip search women despite being an actual man with a fetish/perversion/mental health diagnosis;

Seriously tragic what vulnerable people are doing to themselves because they’ve been captured by the cult. This is neither male nor female, just very, very messed up;

Yes it’s harrowing, what’s happening. I’ve cared for women who’ve had mastectomies due to cancer, some with reconstruction and some without, and I always think how horrified these ladies must be knowing there’s basically a ‘trend’ nowadays of teenage girls and women getting their perfectly healthy breasts removed. All courtesy of this seriously twisted and dangerous gender identity cult though. It’s basically mental illness manifesting as this extreme self-abuse. Well, via medical professionals, anyway. People encouraging and affirming this need locked up.😒

See the link of him receiving the award below. The worst part for me? All of the women clapping and cheering. As a female I can honestly say that this is the worst betrayal, to be stabbed in the back, essentially, and have our rights as women trampled all over by fellow women. You always expect a degree of flack or hostility from certain men but when the full-on assault is from members of your own sex the betrayal cuts deeper. So women really haven’t got a hope in hell of ever overcoming the direct attacks on us courtesy of the woketards via the trans agenda because, once again, the enemy lies within. What of young girls who are talented at sports and have the potential to progress to a higher level? What will they think seeing this?
To my mind, these women are no better than the German citizens who acted as informers for the Nazis and would snitch on any neighbours they knew were hiding Jews. Literal traitors. I can only hope that there are more of us than them and it continues to be so;

I have observed how sports people with DSD ( Disorders of Sexual Development ) are never Caucasian. By far and away black, actually. Would be interesting to see the breakdown across ethnicities…

Would it be unfair to suggest that the BBC only exists now to extort money with menaces in order to pay both the untalented politically correct and David Attenborough‘s extraordinarily high airfare bill as he jets around the globe to find examples of why we should all live in 15 minute cities and forego foreign travel so as to save the planet.

I think this psychologist clarifies this issue: “These men are very likely a new breed of psychopath.

I call them Trans-Type Psychopaths (TTPs).

They have no empathy.

Other people are not ‘real’ to them. They will destroy everything and everyone in their path in order to get their deviant emotional ‘needs’ met.

Don’t be fooled by the ingratiating smiles, the make-up, the hair, the head tilts and the ‘woe is me’ sob stories.

TTPs are more dangerous than Ted Bundy or BTK or the Green River Killer, or any ‘typical’ psychopath.

Although they don’t leave a trail of dead women behind them, these men’s ability to bring about the systematic destruction of women’s rights and safeties makes them far, far more dangerous than even the most prolific serial killer.

We need to reframe our psychological understanding of the modern ‘Transw***n’.

They are not helpless victims of unbearable inner anguish who can only achieve mental respite by being their ‘authentic’ selves.

They are not even simple, self-serving opportunists making hay whilst the sun is shining.

No.

They are stone-cold, manipulative, ruthless psychopaths.

The sole guiding ‘principle’ which governs all of their
actions is self indulgence and personal gratification.

Absolutely nothing else matters.

We pander to them at our deep peril.” https://x.com/Psychgirl211/status/1861352959583387857
