FIFA is studying the potential link between a women’s menstrual cycle and susceptibility to ACL tears. The research is being celebrated by the woke Radical Left who, up until this news story, couldn’t define a woman. Suddenly they’re recognizing the differences between men and women?

For years, the prevailing left-wing narrative has dismissed the significance of biological sex differences in athletic competition. Any assertion of obvious biological differences is framed as discriminatory or a bigoted attack on identity. The basics of biology was set aside in favor of a more fluid, socially constructed understanding of human physiology.

Oh how times have changed. At least for a few moments.

FIFA studies female-only injury links. Shouldn’t the Left call this controversial?

A FIFA-commissioned study, highlighted by KING 5, confronts an uncomfortable truth: “Women are two to eight times more likely to tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) than men.” The research further suspects that female hormones like estrogen and relaxin, which fluctuate during the menstrual cycle, can increase risk of injury.

“Female athletes are at increased risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The influence of hormonal variation on female ACL injury risk remains ill-defined. Recent data suggests that the collagen-degrading menstrual hormone relaxin may cyclically impact female ACL tissue quality. This review aims to identify any correlation between menstrual relaxin peaks and rates of female ACL injury,” the claimed.

This revelation鈥攖hat inherent biological disparities between the sexes influence athletic performance and susceptibility to injury鈥攊s inconvenient for the established progressive narrative. One might anticipate a dismissal of such findings as perpetuating outdated biological determinism. Instead, the response from some of the very athletes who have championed these progressive viewpoints has been one of enthusiastic acceptance.

Woke athletes celebrate study

On their , former professional athletes Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe discussed the study.

Bird mocked the idea that the study is “groundbreaking” because when she suffered an ACL tear in the late 90s, she said the first thing her doctors asked her was whether or not she was on her period. “Where has this research been? We’ve known this!” she noted.

Rapinoe agreed, hoping that they’ll actually study “what we can do about it,” rather than if there’s a link, since they’ve already known about that link. She said she was on her period for all three of her ACL tears.

The are now demanding gendered-studies? Perhaps the researchers can even things out by needlessly studying transgender women?

Woke athletes suddenly recognize gender?

It is interesting that when the discussion pertains to their own physical well-being, the intricate biological realities of being a woman鈥攕pecifically female hormones and the menstrual cycle鈥攁re suddenly deemed “paramount” and critical.

Bird, Rapinoe and all the others celebrating the study stopped to pretend there’s no differences between men and women, even if it was for just a moment. They know there is an underlying recognition of distinct, undeniable biological differences. Yet they pretend otherwise in interviews when they can earn woke social currency.

The profound hypocrisy inherent in this position cannot be overstated.

For years, these very individuals and their ideological allies have vigorously argued against the notion that biological males, who identify as “women” or “trans women,” possess an inherent physiological advantage over biological females in sports. Any mention of male puberty, bone density, muscle mass, or lung capacity has been denounced as “transphobic” and discriminatory. We have been warned to ignore these biological realities as irrelevant in the name of inclusivity.

However, the FIFA study’s focus is explicitly on women’s bodies, female hormones, and physiological factors unique to biological females. One must ask: Are “trans women” included in this research to assess if their (non-existent) menstrual cycles affect their ACLs? The answer, unequivocally, is no. This omission is not arbitrary; it comes from a fundamental understanding that “trans women” are biological men. The study, by its very design, implicitly acknowledges and relies upon the irreducible biological distinctions between the sexes.

Add this to long list of studies proving the Radical Left wrong on gender

If there were genuinely no relevant biological differences between men and women impacting athletic performance, there would be no logical basis for a study exclusively focused on a female-specific injury pattern linked to female-specific biological processes.

This situation reveals an inconsistency.聽 On one hand, biological reality is denied to advance a specific, woke political agenda. On the other, biological reality is embraced wholeheartedly when it serves personal performance and injury prevention.

The FIFA study, while focused on a specific athletic injury, inadvertently serves as a powerful affirmation of biological reality that the vast majority of Americans have been pointing out throughout the entirety of the Democrats’ war on gender and women. It exposes the intellectual dishonesty of those who choose to selectively acknowledge scientific truths.
