The Javelina Jundred is another victim of Wokish vandalism
It's time to belatedly but firmly tell the gender-grifters and entitlement-saturated pissants who support and defend them to stand down
The Javelina Jundred is a set of three trail races in Arizona, with the 2022 weekend-long extravaganza concluding today as 100-mile participants continue to complete the course. The event, whatever else anyone thinks of it, inevitably and even necessarily attracts a high percentage of fake-activist douchebags. This is perhaps true of any trail run in the western half of the U.S. these days, but in the case of the Javelina races, it can be inferred from the high entry fees alone.
I’m not saying these fees are unjustified—given the organizational requirements, for all I know they’re a great deal—or that they don’t buy the average participant a positive or even sublime experience. I’m simply asserting that any off-road running event that charges this much money will always have a hefty burden of preening assholes, in this case the kind of people who fly on large passenger jets from place to place to wander through the woods and bemoan the inevitably catastrophic effects of global warming.
This crowd also pretends to not understand the differences between male humans and female humans, at least when this preposterous stance is required to upgrade one’s in-industry standing or at least avoid career cancellation. I doubt more than one in ten of these frauds would say the same things about this topic in private as they do on social media, which is why these people are so eager to block those willing to call them out on social media.
Even the worst of the dipshits that have infested and infected the trail-running and ultrarunning “community” know they’re supporting a popular but dismally wrong stance that’s only surviving because mentally ill people and gender-grifters have been so adroit at securing corporate support, or, in Wokish parlance, “allyships.”
The winner of the women’s division of the 100-mile Javelina Jundred race (results) was Devon Yanko, who was also the race’s first 40-and-over finisher. In fact, the second over-40 was female, and half of the race’s first sixteen finishers were women, although if the race had been sex-scored scored cross-country-style, the men would have beaten the women 15-45.
This seems to suggest that at the margins of protracted masochism, gender differences shrink more than they do in other sports or even other distance events, meaning that women thus arguably outperform men when controlling for intrinsic differences in ability, i.e., doing the equivalent of age-grading.
That’s the easy part. The question is, or at least for a brief time was: What division was the seventh-place overall finisher, Riley Brady, actually in?
The race’s Instagram account announced Brady as the first “non-binary” runner, not the second woman, shortly after she finished. Brady herself announced today on the same platform that she had come in second among women.
According to several on-site observers, after Brady finished and Nicole Bitter was coming toward the finish a half-hour later, race officials were unsure whether to announce the Bitter woman as the second female finisher or the third. Since the top two women finishers of the Javelina Jundred 100-Miler automatically qualify for the Western States Endurance Run, this was a nontrivial worry.
As you can see from the topmost image in this post, the registration processor for this and most ultramarathon events is Ultra Signup, a business I’m told has been completely overrun by the most extreme gibbering and addled Wokesters alive (if this is true, and it looks to be, bet most of them live within ten miles of me or soon will). Ultra Signup allows the creation of a profile with a “non-binary” gender category, warning indirectly that some races are still owned and operated by sane people with backbones who have not yet caved to this foolishness.
What allegedly happened at Javelina is that Brady initially signed up as “non-binary,” but attempted to change her status to female before the start, and the timers didn’t get this information on time. So, they didn’t know how to handle this in real time. Of course, if “non-binary” were scrapped as a category, as would occur in a remotely sane world, this kind of problem wouldn’t be an issue at all.
But scam-artists posing as activists for sweeping social change have been intensely pressuring races to keep acceding to every demand the gender-benders produce. First it was transgender nonsense taking center stage, and now it’s this arguably even-less-defensible vandalism of useful standards. All of this greatly reduces equality for runners on the ground (almost all of them women) while of course bolstering the personal equity of the cavorting scammers.
Ryan Montgomery is one of the biggest culprits I am aware of in this vein. He’s continually busy trying to compel Western States qualifying events to adopt a “non-binary” category to pave the way toward getting the organizers of the WSER to do the same thing, reckoning that significant upstream pressure is likely to do the trick.
Montgomery has a lot of sponsors backing this malignant quest, companies that have fallen in line with the DEI absurdities compelled by influence from the highest of places, e.g., the Bill and Melinda Gates Social Chaos and Human Enslavement Foundation. And his partner, who goes by “Pattie Gonia,” is a grifter as well, in this case in the black-hole domain of climate activism.
The reason the ex-Mormon Montgomery (and kudos for him for leaving the LDS) acts as ostentatiously gay as possible and Pattie plays the ultimate loungerific drag-queen is they know their shticks will attract negative comments, and these deflect attention away from their insincerity and the ridiculous nature of their demands. Proud glutton and occasional walker of running events Latoya Shauntay Snell does exactly the same thing, supplying a relentless stream of pics of her taking dumps, displaying her beard-shavings, and showing her disgusting carcass off in a bikini. Just as Montgomery and…Gonia can call “homophobia!'” when accused of fraudulence, Snell can pretend that everyone calling her out just hates that she's gross-looking and gross-acting, so that fewer people notice what a flat-out cheater and bully she is.
And when people call me a troll and a hater for the way I write about these insincere actors and their dipshit supporters, this too is deflection.
Montgomery’s scam should be obvious, but it may be unclear what a sham (and, by extension, scam) climate activism is. It’s something the upper classes do while leaving hugely disproportionate carbon footprints on dear Earth, owning needlessly large (and often second) homes and driving big gas-guzzling SUVs as well as keeping the airline industry alive.
More importantly, it is a way to feign doing something for people who could really use the help right now. Passing a $17 quadrillion climate bill means absolutely nothing for struggling Americans. The whole electric-vehicle industry is veritably designed to rely on fossil fuels, just as the Affordable Care Act was set up to ensure that the U.S. healthcare system would remain hostage to massive amounts of private equity. Fossil fuels are predicted to account for 78 percent of energy used worldwide in 2040.
While warming is clearly occurring and human activities seem at least partly to blame, the world long ago gave up on pursuing meaningful solutions. Thus, climate activism, given the state we’ve reached, is pure performance art and a means of funneling yet more wealth in the direction of already well-off people. And this is all being solely promoted by those very well-off people, the kind who can afford to spend their lives traveling around to races that consume whole weekends and ultimately winding up in Boulder, Colorado.
I was utterly shocked to learn that Brady is part of the Davd and Megan Roche personality cult for watery-brained people with cash to burn and a strong inclination to masturbate while staring grimly into a reflective surface.
If the Roches packed up their “coaching” carnival and resumed their professional careers—assuming this remains an option for either or both—then the off-road-running “community” would shed at least half of its needless baggage overnight, provided their clients either all departed the “sport” in a soy-emitting conga-line or wised up for once in their clueless lives.
If you’re one of these joggers doubling as a “liberal” of privilege, you look on and nod approvingly when someone claims to have divorced their libido, psychology, or some other element of their insatiable yet sieve-like egos from their own genetically specified stinkmeat. You ever-comfortable “libs” love getting on board with the gender madness, because—other than being called out by a few well-marginalized voices like mine—this comes at no cost to you while gaining you social-media approval and maybe sponsorship deals of your own. Whoo!
Meanwhile, not a single one of you straight “trans women are women” types will ever marry or even develop a romantic relationship with a transgender person, at least not those of you who want children and almost certainly none of the remainder either. Why? Because you’re all liars. You are preening dipshits of privilege who for whatever reason like to gravitate toward trail jogging. And I say “for whatever reason” as if I didn’t know that it’s the perfect environment for ordinary runners to pretend they’re competitively viable.
It is time for people to simply stop caving to people who are either mentally ill or promoting such people as exemplars of noble, previously undiscovered “identities.” The person below appears to be extolling the virtues of child molestation. This is being done via the usual unpretentious demolition of language (see also: “Whiteness,” “white supremacy,” “space(s),” “power dynamic,” “problematize,” and many more, including “non-binary”).
Just a bunch of people striving to find their rightful way in the world, eh? Maybe if you can afford to ignore it because you’re simply too driven by blind ego to notice and too well-off overall to have to consider the consequences to greater society.
The rest of us hate it. And we’ll* be sure to keep giving you love-taps in case you later pretend to have forgotten your role in this purposeful destruction.
