What about this dude looks female, anyway? He's got a five o'clock shadow, for crying out loud! 

Now, Canadian parents are speaking out against his entry into swimming competitions at last; it seems even Canadians will forgo their traditional politeness if things get egregious enough.

Several parents spoke to the Toronto Sun following the 2023 Trojan Cup in Barrie, Ontario, on Dec. 1-3 over concerns that Melody Wiseheart, a transgender swimmer, competed in events with teenage swimmers and shared a locker room with their children.

Wiseheart, 50, competed in several events at the East Bayfield Community Centre, where the meet was held, including the women’s 1500m freestyle for athletes 16 years and older. Wiseheart placed second in that event with a time of 21:14.30, according to the official results posted to Swimming Canada’s website.

But the swimming event, as it turned out, wasn't the worst part of the whole thing.

Parents confirmed that the person in question changed in and out of a swimsuit in the women’s locker room at the East Bayfield Community Centre during the Dec. 1 Trojan Cup. 

“The girls were terrified,” said one parent of a child involved. 

And mortified. 

From the changing area, where parents put up makeshift towel-tenting apparatus so no one could see their daughters and they could not see the person with male anatomy changing with them, they got into the pool to race against this 50-year-old who was competing in several categories. 

The whole thing is gross. 

“It’s all so confusing for the kids,” said one parent. “No one is comfortable. Everybody is accepting of all people but them swimming against our kids and being in the locker room with them is not appropriate.” 

If "not appropriate" isn't the understatement of the year, it will do until a better one comes along.

See how HE runs! Nicholas Cepeda, a.k.a., Melody Wiseheart, again showed up to a swimming competition identifying as a 13-year-old girl! And yes, he showered in the GIRLS’ change room! Why are the authorities turning a blind eye to perversity in the pool? https://t.co/57s8go0fph

Here's what "Swim Ontario" had to say.

“In partnership with Swimming Canada, Swim Ontario has a robust system of policies, procedures and rules that support our member clubs in providing a competitive experience that is safe, welcoming and inclusive for all participants,” the organization said in a statement sent to the Toronto Sun. 

Let's deconstruct that statement.

Swim Ontario states they provide a competitive experience that is "safe, welcoming, and inclusive." Well, I would argue that having a 50-year-old man showering with teen and pre-teen girls isn't safe or welcoming. Even if this guy keeps his hands to himself, subjecting young women and girls to having to look at this guy's tallywhacker in the shower sure as shooting isn't "welcoming." And while it may be "inclusive," that's only true if you accept an outrageously inflated definition of the word.

I'd bet money that "Melody Wiseheart" does not suffer from gender dysphoria in any way that any sane practitioner would diagnose. He's looking for attention, just like Dylan Mulvaney; both of these people are taking advantage of a societal contagion to draw attention to themselves. While Mulvaney is someone more successful at it, these two are trying two different angles of the same scam.

It will be up to Canadian parents, in this instance, to put a stop to this kind of thing. Why the fathers of the pre-teen and teen girls being forced to share a locker room have not yet interceded is beyond me, but I imagine that this state of affairs won't last forever.
