Happy XX Day! A Time to Celebrate Girls Sports and Scientific Reality
“Real Women’s Day” was born from a desire to celebrate real women, those with XX chromosomes, amidst a cultural debate over gender identity fueled by pseudoscience.
Earlier this week, I reported that the once esteemed publication Scientific American beclowned itself by claiming there was no biological difference between male and female athletes.
It seems fitting then that I join the celebration of XX Day. “XX Day,” also known as Real Women’s Day, is celebrated on October 10th because, in Roman numerals, it’s the 10th day of the 10th month, or “XX.”
October 10th has become a beacon for those highlighting the biological essence of womanhood, specifically focusing on the XX chromosome pair.
Spearheaded by athlete-turned-activist Riley Gaines, XX Day was born from a desire to celebrate real women, those with XX chromosomes, amidst a cultural debate over gender identity fueled by pseudoscience.
Happy Real Women's Day!
Being so competitive & mission-oriented, I don't often take time to reflect on the impact that's been had over the past ~2 years. It really is remarkable. More work to be done, but I'm proud.
Men cannot become women and vice versa.

Gaines is spending this particular XX Day by targeting Nike, a woke company that has bought the pseudoscience nonsense that was shamefully promoted in Scientific American.
Chills! Powerful ad by @xx_xyathletics in honor of Real Womens Day tomorrow. 🔥🔥🔥
It's not hard to stand up for women and girls, so why won't @Nike just do it?pic.twitter.com/A1OJZljEzr

In my analysis of the differences in men’s and women’s physical capabilities, I cited the sport of archery.
Physicality may be one advantage testosterone gives, but it isn’t the only one. My sport, archery, usually separates men and women for tournaments. This is because men’s longer arms and more upper body strength allow them to shoot higher arrow speeds. Higher speed leads to higher scores because higher arrow speed means less wind interference and more forgiveness for form mistakes.
I have decided to spend the day practicing with my coach for an upcoming tournament.

As always, I will continue the celebration year-round, defending real science.

How pathetic it is that we need to have a day to celebrate cold hard reality.
Prosperity makes it easier to ignore reality. We may be getting some reality good and hard soon.
Reilly Gains has finally been making gains ( no pun intended) supporting women over fake “ Things” , it’s truly gaining ground with teams refusing to play with a trans on a rooster!
And no where are the so called women’s groups
Just like Sharia, just in it’s existence abuses and murders women, these so called women’s rights groups are absent , missing in action…
Terrified, paid off, I don’t know, but they would rather a girl be murdered in an “honor” killing them to stand literally for all women’s rights
CAN YOU HEAR ME KNOW!!!
NOW.. lol this phone
Can we safely call a day questioning why there is an XX Day XXY Day
XX is 20 not 10
You could celebrate lesbian and intersex but only around the 50th of the month.
It’s 10/10, dope.
XX is 10/10, today’s date. Did this go over your head?
Of course it did. Hardin is a shallow, linear thinker.
Great ad! And for me, it sparked a question:
Why is “cultural appropriation” an absolute no-no, but “gender appropriation” is now seemingly not just acceptable but something to be celebrated?
Because it only has a negative impact on women.
Forget consistency, it’s Calvinball. The only consistent rule of the Woke is that they’re the ones who get to make the rules.
In the end, is not about racial equality or gender equality. It’s not about LGBT rights. It’s not about open borders or rent control or gun safety or climate change. It’s about power. For them.
I couldn’t agree more. That was the premise of my question.
My goal was to provide a neat way for “us” to use the progressive’s logic and vocabulary against them, and for us to build off in other areas of the debate.
In short, to provide us with an example of their inconsistency to be used against them.
Nailed it. No matter what they say, it is always about power.
I have to say the advance promotion for this event was lacking. It’s half over before I even learn about it. Whereas, our society practically posts “Advent calendars” in advance of Pride and Black History months. Thank you, unbiased media!
I celebrate REAL women on Double D Day.
D is 500 in roman numerals
Can we stop having these days to celebrate existence rolling along?
That’s how all this shit started. With ‘celebrating being a girl’ or ‘celebrating being gay’ or ‘celebrating being an ethnicity’ or some such other public idiocy that divides people in the guise of celebrating them..
This may seem right, but it’s the same first step that got this whole thing going.
O
Tom Lehrer (circa 1964, sixty years ago!!) expressed similar sentiment
but in song, with his unique wit:
“National Brotherhood Day”
— no doubt up on the internet somewhere fer free
I’m holding out for XXX day.
That would be women’s tic tac toe championships.
Or Marilyn Chambers Citation X… 🙂

Archaeology is a science, too. There were no “shieldmaidens”.
The athletes so incensed about men competing in their sports are the same ones who filed endless sex discrimination lawsuits to get funding for sports no one cares about or watches, at the expense of sports people do watch. Then a bunch of men figured out how to use your own tactics against you and now you’re crying foul.
This is a “let them fight” situation.
I guess it depends on whether you think the greatest value in sports is actively playing them, or just passively watching them.
10/10 = 1.
XX/XX = 1.
10/10 = 1.
XX/XX = 1.
Of course, XX not equal to zero because division by zero is undefined.
