First There Was Transgender, Get Ready for 'Trans-Age'

In the last several years, Americans have had to grapple with a lot of people who say they are really someone else. Rachel Dolezal may have been the first. Even though she had been born to white parents, she identified as black. Unfortunately for her, being transracial hasn't really caught on. Now, we are in the era of transgender. Men can be women, and women can be men — men can even get pregnant, but that is a whole other discussion. The bottom line for the left: There is no difference between men and women. If all of this isn't enough for you, hang on because what is happening in Canada is surely on its way to the U.S. The latest is being trans-age.

No, I'm not talking about those jokes about 50 being the new 30 — wish I was. Earlier this month, on October 20, the Richmond Hill Aquatic Centre's Fall Classic swimming competition was held at the Markham Pan Am Centre in Toronto. Competing in one of the races held on Friday, nine of the ten swimmers were 13 or 14-year-old girls. The tenth: someone named Melody Wisehart. The problem, well, there were several. Not only is Melody a biological male named Nicholas J. Cepeda, but Melody/Nicholas is 50 years old. Wait what?

When asked about the participants of the swim meet, officials at the event were less than forthcoming with explanations. If this is all perfectly okay, why are they so hesitant to talk about it? They first denied that Melody/Nicholas was competing. But that was quickly disproven when a race schedule was produced, and this person's name was on it. The officials also seemed less than willing to talk about a race that was part of the entire competition, specifically for 13 and 14-year-old girls, being disrupted by someone who not only wasn't female but also was not in that age group. Officials from two of Canada's swimming governing bodies, Swim Ontario and Swim Canada, were "unavailable" to speak about the event.

It appears, however, that Melody Wisehart only wants to "identify" as a 13 or 14-year-old girl when it is convenient for her/him. The story of this person gets more disturbing, but probably not surprising. Melody Wisehart/Nicholas Cepeda is a professor at York University in Toronto. He/she is the head of...wait for it...the Cognitive Flexibility Lab. According to this person's university biography, "Lab members develop and validate tools for teachers that are based on cognitive psychology principles." You just can't make it up.

Canada also has left-wing media, and way back in 2014, Melody/Nicholas was featured in a piece with his/her wife, maybe a bit ground-breaking even for Canada then, about what a normal couple they were, and, of course, that they are "pioneers...working against stereotypes and stigmas." Does being a 50-year-old male swimming with adolescent girls also constitute "working against stereotypes?" And why does the gradual erasure of anything that is traditionally exclusively female count towards "working against stereotypes?" 

Because swimming officials would not comment about this meet, it is unknown if Melody/Nicholas also shared a locker room with 13 and 14-year-old girls. If he/she did, how is this not tantamount to condoned sexual assault? But perhaps the biggest thing that stands out about this is that none of the concerned parents would speak publicly about their concerns. As you might expect, the cancel culture mob extends north of the border as well. We know the drill. Speak out about the hallowed concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and it's you who are the bigot, you who is a transphobe. This is, no doubt, coming to America. Maybe Rachel Dolezal should give the whole transracial thing another try.
