Transgender

Olympic athlete Chelsea Wolfe who is a transgender woman wants to win so she can burn the American flag on the podium. She says she is pro American but not pro fascist. So the question arises what is fascism. Fascism includes extreme militaristic nationalism. The US has had the biggest and strongest and most modern military since WW2. Fascism has contempt for electoral democracy. The US has had this for over 200 years even though the election results are often challenged. Fascism believes in natural social hierarchy and the rule of the elites. The elites in the US rise and fall and are changed regularly based on elections and economics. Fascism believes in a people's community where individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation. The constitution promotes and protects individual rights. Some of the more famous fascist leaders in recent history were Mussolini from Italy, Hitler from Germany, Stalin in Russia and Mao in China. One of the strengths of being American is free speech where different opinions and ideas are promoted. Transgender women in sports is one those issues that is currently being debated.
