There aren’t many prestigious and popular institutions left capable of uniting the whole world regardless of ideologies, race, nation, or religion. Until Paris 2024, the Olympic Games used to be one of them. Not anymore.
Let me give you two images. One is the blasphemous inauguration with transvestites mocking the Last Supper. Another is the Italian boxer Angela Carini crying after receiving a brutal beating in 46 seconds at the hands of a boxer recognized as “intersex,” that is, she was born with female genitalia but with XY chromosomes and in tests gave male testosterone levels. She is participating among women in the Olympic Games because, according to the IOC, “she has the right to practice sport without discrimination.” Everything, absolutely everything, is wrong at the Olympic Games in France.

The blasphemous inauguration was not intended to offend anyone, the organization assures. The truth is that it offended everyone. Christians for the blasphemy, and everyone else, for the sordid and ugly spectacle. As if that were not enough, it included a typically woke vindication of transsexualism, the movement that has put an end to women for once and for all, with enthusiastic support from queer feminists. I’ve written it before: If anyone can be a woman, being a woman means absolutely nothing. That male victory is superior to that of any machismo you can imagine, but since it’s championed by the woke left, criticizing it makes you a target for cancellation.
The IOC Is More Concerned About Inclusivity Than Safety
The case of the intersex boxer is dramatic and scandalous, not because she is trans, which she is not, but because what’s behind the IOC’s crazy decision is precisely queer feminism and the LGBT movement.
First, because the IOC considers that leaving her out would be “discriminatory” and that everyone has the right to participate. I would like to know if the IOC would let me participate in the Olympic Games in the women’s boxing event, if instead of ears, due to some genetic quirk, I had developed two bazookas that opened fire randomly.

Second, in all institutions, as well as in the political arena, there is real panic about making reasonable decisions that could be considered “transphobic,” and no one cares if that puts children who are victims of genital mutilation in a precarious situation, or women boxers in a position in which they see their Olympic dreams cut short while being brutally beaten by someone who has the strength of a man.
And third, because the key to queer madness is to establish that there are no relevant biological differences between men and women and, therefore, following their stupid logic, we should eliminate separate categories and pray that there are not too many fatalities at the end of the Olympic Games.
I believe that the blasphemous and pro-trans inauguration of the French was a way to avoid criticism for transgender athletes. When it was announced in May that the International Athletics Federation was banning Halba Diouf, a French transsexual who wanted to compete with women, from Paris 2024, the progressive press around the world published tearful headlines such as “The Federation’s transphobia” or “Diouf’s broken dream.” I have something to say now: go screw yourselves. The broken dream, the only one I care about, is that of female athletes who have every right in the world to compete with real women, not hormonal experiments whose balls have hopefully been chopped off.
Welcome to the Wokeolympics
But the wokeolympics are going far beyond this. Macron has made sure that, minus talent and sport, all the other postmodern progressive clichés are present in the biggest propaganda showcase in the sporting world (they know it and that’s why they do it): The Olympic Villiage’s menu is almost entirely vegan to reduce the carbon footprint, it was built with 94 percent reclaimed materials from dismantling other buildings, there are renewable energy systems everywhere, trees instead of air conditioning, circular economy proposals, and that wonderful unsustainable madness of recyclable cardboard beds for the athletes.
In the face of all this ideological garbage spoiling the Olympic spirit, I prefer to stay with the image of the Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec. While his rivals wore advanced lenses of extreme precision, helmets, ultra-sophisticated protection systems, and other technological gadgets, Dikec, with no protection, no lenses, no helmets, and with one hand in his pocket grabs his gun with all parsimony, pulls the trigger and takes the silver medal. Without intending to, Dikec represents the true Olympic spirit, the one it used to have, and his ultra-sophisticated competitors represent the ridiculous madness of these wokeolympics.

Macron’s France is an aberration and an embarrassment to the West, but, above all, like any woke beacon, it is an immense imposture. The pollution problems of the Seine River that have forced the suspension of aquatic events were perfectly portrayed by the Brazilian Ed Raposo on X: “The Seine River looking like a tyrannosaurus diarrhea and Macron wanting to save the Amazon.”
