Bro…
So now woke isn't just stealing the dreams of women, it's stealing the dreams of Paralympian women, too. Good to know.
This is 50-year-old "Valentina" Petrillo, who we've reported on before:
Dude was out here breaking women's records in races where the second place finisher would've broken records.
Now "Valentina" will be participating in the Paralympic games as a "visually impaired woman."
In "her" own words:
Last year in Paris, I won two bronze medals at the Paralympic World Championships in the 400m and 200m and I reaffirmed myself as the Italian champion in the 100-200-400m both indoors and outdoors in the visually impaired category. My races in Paris will be on September 2 and 6.
I'm lucky. I can talk about myself and I get to do what I like, which is running. For me, sport is a means of expression. But the hardest battle was still coming out to the whole world.
When I started hormone therapy in 2019, attitudes toward the LGBTQIA+ community in sports were much more positive than they are today. In 2020, I managed to compete for the first time as a female despite having documents that were not fully updated. That was the high point of the inclusion for transgender people in sports.
Visually impaired.
And so must you be if you're gonna call this bloke a "woman."
