A male collegiate basketball player who believes he is a woman is now claiming in a social media post that he’s at a “major biological disadvantage” playing against biological women in the court.
You can’t make this stuff up. Except when leftists decide to throw out science and…well, just make stuff up.
Harriette Mackenzie, a 21-year-old Canadian college basketball player who was born a male but cosplays as a female, accused the coach of Columbia Bible College of going on a “tirade” against Vancouver Island University's inclusion of a trans-identifying male player after an October 25 game, which Vancouver Island - Mackenzie’s school - had won. Both schools play in Canada’s Pacific Western Athletic Association (PACWEST), which by rule “allows transgender athletes to compete if they are in compliance with the Canadian anti-doping program, which restricts testosterone below a certain level,” according to a report in the Times Colonist.
Despite having lead the Vancouver Island University Mariners in points, rebounds and blocks this season, Mackenzie claims he’s at a “major biological disadvantage” against the other women on the court because he began “transitioning” as early as kindergarten, and “only went through female puberty.” He then accused CBC of opposing him due to “their shared bigotry and ignorance.”

“I'm playing at a major biological disadvantage,” Mackenzie, who is 6’2”, states in the video. “I never went through male puberty, I only went through female puberty.”
Which, factually speaking, would be incorrect, even if his longtime use of body-altering chemicals and procedures are probably what's contributed to his highly feminized appearance. Even if a regimen of puberty blockers and hormones prevented Mackenzie’s body from successfully going through normal male puberty as it was designed to do, there is no way his biologically male body would have experienced female puberty, given that he lacks literally every anatomical structure needed to do so.
Mackenzie also accused the Columbia Bible College team of intentionally targeting him during the game, claiming CBC coach Taylor Claggett applauded his players’ roughness and saying “CBC’s tactic has clearly shifted to simply trying to injure me.”
“The don’t care - they don’t care that I began my transition in kindergarten, never having undergone male puberty…they don’t care that my testosterone levels are one-tenth that of a cis woman due to the absence of reproductive organs, placing me at a significant competitive disadvantage,” he continued (which, barring a very rare medical condition, simply isn’t possible, and would have contributed to other major physical problems like loss of bone density, which Mackenzie clearly doesn't have).

But I’m sure Mackenzie’s contribution to Vancouver Island’s season dominance is totally coincidental, and has nothing at all to do with his being born a guy. The Times Colonist explains:
Mackenzie helped lead the Mariners to the 2022-23 Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national championship. Her play this season, with a Pacwest second-leading 16.1 points-per-game average and conference third-leading 9.4 rebounds per game, has VIU at 11-1 in conference. Mackenzie is also second in conference in shooting percentage at 49.7 per cent.
But despite all this, and in keeping with his denial of science and his own physical reality, Mackenzie maintains that “all trans people should be included in sports.”
Actual women be damned.
Vancouver Island was scheduled to play two games against Columbia Bible College this upcoming weekend, but, in a hilariously ironic twist, may withdraw after a number of players signed a letter saying they don’t feel “safe” playing against a team that doesn’t accept their gender-deluded male player.
Imagine how the actual women on the other teams must feel.
