As Twitchy reported earlier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made even more liberal heads explode by signing a proclamation declaring Emma Weyant the best women’s swimmer in the NCAA 500-yard freestyle, a race that was awarded to transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. That’s made the news, and it presents quite a conundrum for headline writers. As Christina Pushaw notes, the Orlando Sentinel had to put “female” in quotation marks when describing Weyant, who is a female.
Orlando Sentinel ~ Gov. Ron DeSantis waded further into gender politics today, issuing a proclamation that said a swimmer from Sarasota is the nation’s best “female” in the 500-meter freestyle after she finished 2nd to a transgender athlete at the NCAA championship.

Christina Pushaw ~ Uh, why is 'female' in quotes here? Emma is female; it is an undisputed fact. Florida media is truly going off the deep end this week.
Mike Rathbone ~ I'd put the "competition" in quotes before "female."
Good point.
Squirrel! ~ It’s not hard to see why Democrats can’t win statewide elections in Florida.
Well, that's because the majority of Florida's citizens are rational adults who regularly apply scientific logic, unlike the majority of New York's citizens who are delusional flat-earthers that rely completely on "feelings ... whoa, whoa feelings."
David Biddle ~ An actual female is questionable and a pretend female is legit. It's an upside down world.
Karin ~ Because they are unable to accurately define female.
Andrew Washburn ~ Because they can’t define “female” or else their worldview collapses.
Scottie Binyons ~ Ironic, isn't it? The real woman gets female in quotes, but the other thing is unequivocally female. Big yikes.
So we’re supposed to refer to trans women as “women,” but to biological women as “cisgender women” to differentiate.
Julian ~ Stop being sexist, @OrlandoSentinel.
Robbelah ~ Mind games. It’s ALL mind games.
Dskj ~ The media sucks.
Ronaldo Reagano ~ The fact that the word "trans" needs to be used to describe a "woman" is evidence they aren't the same. Emma is a woman.
And Lia Thomas is a dude.
Danilo F. Pacheco ~ All the leftist propaganda media shills are long gone off the deep end. Today just happens to be "trans" week.
It would be considered hate speech if you referred to Lia Thomas as “female.”
