And so Ireland joins the circus and includes a "non binary" category in the Dublin marathon.
Let's have a look at the "non binary" "winners" in other marathons, shall we?
Jacob Caswell, the winner of the "non binary" category in the New York marathon, ran a time of 2.45;

Kae Ravichandran, the winner of the “non binary” category in the Boston Marathon 2023 and Blank Bruno, the winner of the “non binary” category in the Chicago marathon 2022.
The one thing all of these competitors have in common is that they THINK they are neither male nor female.

In a marathon that already has over 60% male participants, Dublin has now introduced a new category, which they plan to also divert funding to in prize money, which will also go to men. all the while lamenting the reduced female participant rates. How very progressive.

According to Jim Aughney Dublin FrontRunners LGBTQ athletic club lobbied for this change. They were considered so important that two of their members were featured in the launch pictures alongside the previous winners of the men’s and women’s category.

Aware of the mediocrity of the performance level of these "Non Binary" athletes Jim Aughney stated they can't do a tape finish as "at 3.15 we have 179 people finishing per minute". Perhaps he could then explain to the other 178 people who might be finishing at the same time

what makes this "Non Binary" finisher worthy of the prize money he states is also planned?
Dublin Frontrunners now join the ranks of Na Gael Aeracha an LGBTQ GAA club in redefining sport for every other athlete in the country without their permission.

Neither club do the slog of coaching Junior athletes. Instead they are committed to ensuring that sex categories are erased in favour of "identities". They seem to wield extraordinary power and influence.

Bodies run marathons. Identities don’t. Ironically Dublin Marathon acknowledged the role bodies play in running with new rules that allow women who are pregnant or post partum to defer entry. While at the same time creating a category that states people are completely independent

of their bodies and their thoughts are all that matter. The introduction of a Non Binary category is a step towards the erasure of sexed categories. This move undermines sport, it undermines women and it undermines the hordes of volunteers who DID NOT sign up for this ideology.
