The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 87 - Beth Stelzer - Save Women's Sports
Beth Stelzer is a housewife, mom, and amateur powerlifter from Minnesota. Beth founded Save Women's Sports in early 2019. She stresses that defending women in athletics ought not to be a partisan, nor religious issue. Save Women's Sports is a coalition that seeks to preserve biology-based eligibility standards for participation in female sports.
Beth was noticing an alarming number of trans women that were coming over to compete with biological females and were demolishing their records. She wanted to make sure women do not lose out on scholarships, sponsorships, and athletic opportunities to competition that is biologically bigger, faster, stronger than them.
I hope you listen to this episode with an open mind.
Beth and I discussed:
- The massive athletic advantages males have over females
- Biologically male athletes competing against biologically female athletes
- Why she feels so passionately about this
- Why she decided to found Save Women's Sports
- What is the fair thing to do with regard to trans athletes?
- The story of Selina Soule
- The threats she’s received fighting for women
and much more...
My Take: This should not be controversial, biological males have advantages over biological women in sports - they’re bigger, stronger, faster. Look at almost every record in every sport - men outperform women in every one of them. Sports are built on the premise of fairness, biological females should compete against other biological females because they dedicate their lives to their respected sport, and are well deserving of their achievements.
