If you want to keep everything in, you inevitably end up missing something. The word “inclusion,” however broad, only indicates a somewhat smaller exclusion.
Take the Olympics that start tomorrow in France. They make two marron glacés like this with the story of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité et Inclusivité, and then…
Then it happens that the one receiving the Olympic flame upon its arrival in Paris – the French have a real bad habit… – is a drag queen. A great thing for the LGBTQ community, a little less so for women, because it is a man who delivers it, and since the drag queen is another man, even if he is wearing makeup and high heels, feminists have already protested against the patriarchy. Transgrandeur. By the way: why aren’t there competitions for the third sex?
Then there is the case of Sasha Zhoya, French sprinter in the 110 hurdles, the first male athlete authorized by the Olympic Committee to wear a skirt – instead of pants – at the opening ceremony. However, sprinter Sounkamba Sylla cannot participate because she wants to parade with the Islamic headscarf that the Olympic Committee denies her because it would go against the principles of secularism of the State.
Speaking of inclusiveness that does not include. Of course there are flags of all nations, even Israeli and Palestinian. But not the Russian one. The athletes of Moscow, even if they are not Putinists, are excluded.
And so the Olympic flame – the only flame that the left likes – has arrived at the stadium. The last one.
Good. Now you can turn it off.
