Well, there’s no disguising what the real agenda of the men in dresses is, now. As if we didn’t know already.

As mediocre male athletes began putting on a bit of lippy and trouncing female athletes in women’s sports, sensible-thinking folk offered up an obvious solution. Create a third category for “trans” athletes. It’s a win-win, surely: they get to compete on a gender-level playing field and the morbidly curious get a good, old Victorian freak show to ogle at.

Which is just what the world swimming body has done.

World Aquatics will debut its new “open category” at a World Cup event in Berlin in October, swimming’s governing body said on Wednesday.

World Aquatics voted last year to restrict participation of transgender athletes in elite women’s competitions and create a working group to establish an open category, which was announced last month.

“When World Aquatics instituted its Policy on Eligibility for the Men’s and Women’s Competition Categories, we committed to exploring the creation of an open category,” World Aquatics president Husain Al-Musallam said.

The open category will feature in 50-metre and 100m races across all strokes, with the competition running from Oct. 6-8. World Aquatics added that the open category could also be added to more events.

“Berlin is thrilled to champion this groundbreaking initiative with the full endorsement of the German Swimming Federation,” the German Swimming Federation’s vice president Kai Morgenroth said.

“We’re proud to host an event where swimmers can compete without barriers. Berlin is Germany’s hub for diversity and inclusion and therefore the perfect location for such a progressive project.”

Diversity! Inclusion! Progressive! What more could a tranny want?

The opportunity to bash real women, it seems.

The first ‘open’ races for transgender swimmers have been scrapped after no entries were received for this week’s World Cup meeting in Berlin.

So, it really was just about third-rate men relishing the chance to steal women’s rightful trophies and flash their cocks in the women’s locker room, after all.

However, World Aquatics on Tuesday announced that no swimmers had entered the events, forcing them to rethink their policy for elite meetings.

‘Following the close of registration for the open category competitions, World Aquatics can confirm that no entries have been received for the Open Category events,’ they said in a statement.

‘The World Aquatics open category working group will continue its work and engagement with the aquatics community on open category events. Even if there is no current demand at the elite level, the working group is planning to look at the possibility of including open category races at masters events in the future.’

Well, lady-men, you’ve had your golden opportunity to prove to the world that you’re not in it just to prey on women. And you rejected it.

Just as you violently rejected the opportunity to get your own, special dunnies, in Hobart earlier this year.

We can all see what your game is. We knew it all along, of course.

You’ve just made it clear for everyone to see.
