The Javelina Jundred mishandled its own fantasyland three-gender system. Now it's blaming the world for the problems this caused.

This is exactly how the Wokish always behave: Light fires, then complain about how sane people want to extinguish them

Trail Runner posted a story today about the controversy at the Javelina Jundred I wrote about on Sunday. It was immediately evident this was not a David Roche job, because the piece is uniformly comprehensible, and at no point does the prose even threaten to devolve into self-stroking.

The parts of the story that explain the exact origin and nature of the damage (emphasis mine):

Presently, Golden Tickets [to Western States] aren’t allocated to the non-binary runner division, but non-binary athletes in Golden Ticket races are allowed to choose a gender of award category (male or female) while registering on Ultrasignup.com, because the race had only two traditional award divisions. 

Unfortunately, race staff, social media teams, and real-time results were communicating Brady as the leader of the non-binary division, and Bitter as the second female, during and immediately after they finished.

Bitter [wasn’t] told she was third until after she finished. The results were updated on Monday to reflect Brady as the second female finisher and Bitter as third place to reflect the correct positioning for awards.

Although Bitter finished over a half-hour behind Brady, she was being informed by race channels and live results that she was in second place for women the entire day, which would have guaranteed a Golden Ticket. Therefore, she had no reason to adjust her race strategy.

The real problem, of course, is the inclusion of a “non-binary” division in the first place. The whole idea is nothing but psychological cosplay for narcissistic Zillennials who are desperate to be recognized for how special they are, and who will propagate endless self-debasing absurdities in the service of this demented mission.

This really is the result of insisting on handing out participation trophies stamped “excellent!” to perfectly ordinary kids who never asked for any of this starting in the 1990s. It would be one thing if these insufferable adult children had no power. But most of them come from well-off families, so the ones that don’t have the power to flat-out leverage negative social change have the luxury of agitating for it all day long on their smartphones.

The comments from the race director, Jamil Coury, perfectly embody the Wokish refusal to offer a sincere apology for a truly galactic error, instead shifting the narrative to—get this—inclusivity. Resolute in his stupidity, he holds society accountable for not going along with the fantasy notion that some people just have smooth, blank, orifice-free crotches, like old-school dolls (and maybe the latest generation, too; I sold my collection from the 1970s on eBay in 2011 and have since been out of the game).

Coury admitted the error was on his team, and he hopes this can be a learning moment and positive discussion point going forward. 

Discussion point? He made mistakes in both planning and execution. No one needs to learn anything here but Jamil Coury. I’d recommend a biology course, but the SCIENCE IS REAL crowd hates it when you refer to science generated before 2020.

“We basically screwed up. I’ll own it,” Coury said. “We miscategorized them in the online race results, and our team was amplifying that on social media based on some internal miscommunication. We didn’t play through every scenario, and there are probably scenarios that are still unforeseen.” 

Translation: We’re going to keep this inherently contradictory—in fact, patently insane—system in place because we’re committed to screwing up everything. Indeed, we expect to expand on the nature of this very problem in the execution of our future events.

“Let’s use this situation as a way to bring it right to the front of the table,” Coury said. “There are people who want to feel included, who want to be themselves, and they should be welcomed as they are. As race directors, we should make our rules clear so there is fairness in competition, that all athletes understand it’s very clear before the gun goes off, so they can track their place accurately. That’s where we messed up.” 

Coury feels that fairness in competition exists when race officials manage to keep track, in real time, of which of three gender divisions every entrant in his races is in. If he were capable of admitting that the problem lies upstream, with a needless third gender category, he might be teachable.

Riley Brady was, in fact, included as what she is—a damn fast female ultramarathoner. She just doesn’t get to tack on imaginary extras. Neither does anyone else.

These assholes need to grow up.

Every normally functioning adult human is aware of his or her birth sex. That’s the one people should have to use in running, as by definition it excludes no one. The idea of setting aside a category just for people who insist on some brand of “other” might hold water, but the Wokish of course want to have things multiple ways. They aren’t content with “male,” “female,” and “other,” because “other” just ain’t special enough.

Idiots like Jamil Coury and his team’s blunders at the Javelina Jundred forcefully demonstrate why race directors need to stop caving to the pacifier-people in pink hair and wilting man-buns. Not only are they demanding silly things as a consequence of their ferocious self-absorption, but they’re refusing to own the mistakes directly resulting from their petty mangling of useful standards and essentially promising the running world more of those mistakes. They ruin whatever they touch and then start crying and fingering others when the easily discerned reasons for the chaos are pointed out to them.

They will keep behaving this way until people finally admit where all of this is coming from, and that bratty children of any age need to be dealt with like bratty children: A firm “No” coupled to a patient explanation of how the world actually works, like it or not (visualize “handclaps” between words as needed).
