#Of course someone who went through male puberty in going to have an advantage in a race of 3862 meters with a positive elevation gain of 62

Thanks to gender ideology a dude who didn't sign up while there was still spaces left in the men's category was able to sign up to compete in the women's category. And he won leaving with prize earmarked for a woman while if he did run in the men's category he would have come in 55th.

A man claiming to be “gender fluid” has won the women’s category of a mountain race in Spain, signing up after there were no more spaces left in the men’s category. Quim Durán Pradas, who lives his day-to-day life as a man, says running makes him feel “feminine.”

La Cursa de NaDalt is a chrono-climbing race held annually in December in Catalonia, and its most recent iteration, held on December 26 of 2023, was its 13th anniversary. The race, which starts in Sant Pere de Torelló and ends at the Sanctuary of Bellmunt, is a short but challenging event, and consists of a spectacular route of trails and climbs of 3,862 meters with a positive elevation gain of 620 meters.

In true Spanish fashion — once at the finish line, every racer gets a glass of sparkling wine, something to eat, and to finish it off, hot chocolate.

But the results of the most recent race sparked outrage in Spain after it was discovered that a 48-year-old male had won the top prize in the women’s category.

Speaking to La Vanguardia, sources from the event’s organizing committee explained that the initial outburst had begun at the awards ceremony, where several people broke out into an argument.

Among them was Quim Durán Pradas, a 48-year-old male runner who was seen at the awards ceremony wearing makeup, earrings, and a ponytail.

“[He] was saying that [he] had won in the women’s category and that [he] had every right to be recognized. As an organization, we were caught off guard. There had never been a case like this in previous editions,” explained sources from within the Centre Excursionista Serragrenyada, organizer of the event.

Durán Pradas reportedly threatened to sue the event if he was not provided the prize he claimed he had earned — a pricey leg of cured Iberian ham from Beher Red Label. The prize’s value could range anywhere from €100 to €500 (approx. $107 to $540 USD) depending on the weight of the leg.

Due to his threats and aggression, the event organizers attempted to accommodate him, noting that it was “a bit of a tense situation.” Durán Pradas ended up receiving a provisional victory in the women’s general category. When he stood to receive his ham, there was booing in the audience.

The fastest female, Laia Montoya, had previously taken the top spot in the race in 2022 and 2023. Though she had been booted out of earning the top prize by Durán Pradas, the organizers sent her a box of Iberian ham anyway out of apparent acknowledgement of the unfairness of the situation.

Durán Pradas would have come in 55th place had he participated in the men’s category.

On Instagram, the race’s organizing committee issued a statement explaining “the ethical, moral and philosophical dilemma” they faced.

“We want to show our support and the utmost tolerance, solidarity, and empathy towards gender-vulnerable people,” they wrote. “However, at the same time we also want to underline that the NaDalt race has always tried to promote women’s sport, because historically it has been discriminated and less visible.”

Yesterday, Durán Pradas appeared on Más Espejo, a popular Spanish morning show, where he explained that he is a “gender fluid” athlete who feels “feminine” when he is running in natural environments, but “masculine” at all other times. He is not on any hormone therapy, and does not intend to seek out any surgeries.

“I am gender fluid, and when I run in the mountains, I feel like a woman, I feel like the other female runners,” he said. “I have been to an inclusive psychologist who told me that this is not a disorder. I am simply a person who, depending on the situations, is gender fluid. In my day-to-day life, at home when I’m with my children, I feel like a man. In my leisure time, in contact with nature, I feel like a woman.”

On the program, Durán Pradas stated that he wanted to educate audiences about gender fluidity, also noting that he had previously felt too scared to participate in a women’s category but decided to finally take the risk after being informed there were no slots left in the men’s category. He described the situation as La Cursa de NaDalt “putting [the opportunity] on a platter” for him.

He refused to accept questions from the presenter and the rest of the morning show’s panel, deeming them too “argumentative” to respond to. He then complained he was being subjected to a “hate crime” after one of the panelists accused him of “cheating” for running without having altered his testosterone levels.

“I thought this was going to go well for me, and you just won’t let me justify my position,” Durán Pradas said. “People who do not understand [gender fluidity] and ridicule it as you are ridiculing it… it can become a hate crime.”

I've been following you for a while and know all about the current canon on how p&p would respond to a transgender applicant, and the scenario that I thought of is pretty niche, but I still can't really think of how Zakk and Lucas would respond to it. So what if there was a guy who was trans, but he's been on blockers/T since he was a kid and never went through natal puberty, and his legal gender and name are changed and he easily passes 100% of the time. If this boy were to come to ((1/2))

p&p, he probably wouldn't disclose his trans status to the staff, because there's no real reason to since he's 100% legally recognized as male. If the information that he was trans somehow got out while he was already a resident, would Lucas and Zakk consider that a breach in trust? Would anything change? Idk, this is really specific, I'm just curious. ((2/2))

---

So long as the transition is over and there haven’t been any other issues (behavioral challenges, mental illness that they feel is beyond their capabilities, etc), I think it would be fine for him to stay. Zakk is totally cool with it and is glad that they know, regardless of how the info got to them. Lucas just worries that something will go wrong medically or that the other kids will start bullying him. Lucas also doesn’t like that he didn’t know and would have a little bit of an issue with that, but once Zakk explains what you did - that his transition is over and everything is legally changed and no one would be able to tell just by looking - he chills out a little. 

Because of Lucas’ experience growing up with a bully of an older brother, he’s constantly concerned about bullying among the kids in the house, which is why we see him more than once during MIA telling the boys to be nice to each other, stop excluding/teasing/taking advantage of each other, etc. Finding out that one of the kids is trans would set alarm bells off in his head, so I think that’s a reason that it would be really hard for him to be okay having a boy there who didn’t pass even though Zakk would likely be fine with it. 

Because of paranoia about how the boy might be treated, Lucas would automatically shift into a protective role, which is part of why he’s put including trans kids off for so long. He’s not sure he can treat them the same way he would the other kids. (He treated Calum differently, and he treats Brody differently in the future, so it’s not like he has no basis for this and just thinks it’ll happen for some odd reason. He knows that this is a habit that he has.) Even if the other kids were chill, Lucas would get protective any time other people were around, so it’s added stress for him. And he worries every time they get a new kid that if they find out, they might turn really nasty, make hurtful comments, etc. 

I know you were asking about what would happen if he was already at P&P, but what you described as far as the boy himself is one of the few scenarios where I could see Lucas actively deciding to allow a trans kid (knowing that he’s trans) into the house. The transition is done and has been done for a while, so there’s no issue. Zakk would probably still have to push Lucas a little in order for him to sign off on it, but he’s been softening to the idea for a while and is eventually willing to give it a try, so he says yes.  

BUT there are so many what-ifs here. Is the kid planning on talking about it, or does he keep it to himself? If he keeps it to himself, is it because he doesn’t really think about it anymore and he’d explain if someone asked, or does he not want anybody to know? Those situations all have the potential to produce different reactions from kids and from Lucas. I think Lucas definitely would need to sit down with the kid and ask about these things before agreeing 100%. He’d want them to keep it private. Zakk disagrees with this, of course, but Lucas has a need to keep all of the kids safe, and to him, this situation might make it a lot harder. 

#no problems here but jsyk it gets under my skin a little when yall say ~i know~ something. like. i get that you do know but it always makes #idk #just wanted to mention that again #i know ive said it a few times ahh im sorry i just want people to know #this is the first time that someone has ever said ~i know~ and then not given me incorrect information so at least there's that #tw #p&p #lucas #zakk #anon #ask Aly

Naked Manners

Yesterday was my mother’s friend’s wedding. My mom loves and treats this friend as her daughter. Due to this, my Mother took it upon herself to be with her until the wedding. She planned the Bachelorette’s party and the day after invited many women to do her make-up, get her dress fit, wrap the sweets up and what have you. So, naturally, two consequences come up from this.

1- Many Women weren’t in their full clothes and fully covered. 2- I was the only man in the house with women coming and going.

These consequences are what made what I’m about to tell you inevitable.

Three days from the wedding, I was in my house with the wife-to-be, her mother, my mother, my sister and her friend. At one point, I was in my room and all the women were in my sister’s room; except for the wife-to-be’s mother, who was taking a shower. Unfortunately, I was dying to get in the bathroom. So, I had the natural idea of going to the hallway that connects the bathroom (as well as my sister’s room) to knock on the door and ask the woman if she can hurry. And I did.

As I turned to face the hallway, my sister’s room, which was directly straight from the hallway’s start, was open. What you could see from the hallway into the room is the bed. Now, I’m a very shy guy who doesn’t like to be involved in too much trouble, which is why when I realised that the wife-to-be was sitting on the bed, literally half-naked, with my sister’s friend behind her back doing her hair, I just froze and sweat a few gallons before taking the decision of turning back.

As I said, I’m a shy guy, who’s also good-mannered, so, I look women directly in the eyes and try not to look anywhere else. What I realised when I turned the corner and went into the hallway in the beginning was that those two girls were looking at me with an expression that definitely meant that they are in a very discomfortable situation caused partially or wholly by me. The first thing that came to mind is that either the wife-to-be is naked, or putting on some type of chemicals that I shouldn’t see (e.g. on her thighs to remove hair). My course of action was to turn back and act like I forgot something, which I did. This way, if the women were in true peril, they’d close the door, but if not and I just read their expressions wrong, then I have nothing to fear, and in both cases I can come to the hallway again.

Seconds later, I return to the hallway to see the result of my genius. I found the door unmoved, just as well as the girls. So, I supposed that they are in a very safe situation and that this was a misunderstanding. So, I let my eyes wander, considering there’s nothing to fear, and check around, maybe understand what these two are doing, if I can make sure whether my sister is in the room or not and all that. When I did, I first look a bit lower, to which my eyes sat on the wife-to-be’s topless self (who was still giving me the same expression that my mind decided to chalk up as a misread).

I was as speechless as a man can be. I have nothing but respect to any human out there who hasn’t wronged me in any personal way, which is why I would never even hope to accidentally get a peek of what I saw then.

I turned around to exit the hallway, and determined that either these women have 0 self-conscience, or were dropped on their head when they were toddlers and therefore don’t know that a problem will occur more than once if it were not solved. I had to call out for my sister and ask her to close the door herself.

Fast forward an hour or so later. I’m in the kitchen, looking for something to eat, when the wife-to-be walks in, looking for something (this time fully clothed and fancy). So, I ask her if it’s safe to enter the room and ask my mother something about what do we have to eat or if she will make dinner soon. She replies by telling me to go ahead. So, I go ahead and follow her inside. She gets inside the half-closed door and I knock. When I knock, my sister and her friend sound alarmed, and I see through the crack that their naked legs are getting covered.

Again, I turn around and get outside the hallway like “Screw this” And I wait right around the corner, calling for my mother, never again intending to test these weird people.

This kinda got me thinking. REALLY thinking. If I were this woman’s brother, what would I make of this situation? Is it up to the man to cover a woman from being naked (in the word’s true meaning, which is exposed, regardless of nudity) or to cover his eyes from this exposition, regardless of the woman’s carelessness? Is it not one’s duty to take care of themselves?

Why should the girls care at all? If I see them nude, is the only fear that remains is that I might take my imagination to the next level? Well, if I do, so what? How does imagining change the relationship in any way? I’m not saying they should go around anyone naked, I’m just thinking here. The only reason I don’t take advantage of my imagining abilities is because I wouldn’t like anyone to do the same to my sister or my crush, which I suppose is a sin, but if someone does, how will that affect me or those two? My religion cares very much about intention when it comes to sin. If you have bad intentions and carry them out, you have, in the word’s full meaning, sinned. If you have bad intentions and fail at executing them due to mistakes, you’re forgiven. If you have good intentions but fail at executing them, however, you are considered by God to have actually done this intention, through and through. Of course, good intentions with accidental bad execution is also forgiven. But in this case, your execution is neither of intention nor of action. You’re imagining. You’re successful in doing sin by your account, because you had the intention to imagine, and executed the imagination, but you took no action and you can’t say the intention was bad at all. Why would it be considered wrong to imagine a sin? Actually, what’s the difference between imagining killing your Douchebag boss/teacher and having a sexy lady you personally know pleasure you?

Now, this made me realize that if the people staying at our house have 0 self-conscience or are not attentive, then my family doesn’t help at all. This made me take the decision to never allow my wife or children to stay over at my family’s for an excessively long period of time. but what about me? I have been seeing this wife-to-be and her two sisters for such a long time. Ever since I was a kid, actually. my mom likes to invite them to stay over at our house for days without end and this isn’t the first time that something like these events happened. They treat me like a child, but they have no idea what I hear from people my age talking about their sister’s friends. In Islam, women wear Hijab to cover their hair from men mature enough, and a further step is not to shake hands with males. These sisters straight up kiss me on the cheek and wear way too short shorts when they stay for the night. I don’t know if they truly trust me because they somehow know my good intentions, or if they’re just completely oblivious. If they think 16 is not mature enough, they’re wrong. I’m not saying this because I think I’m too smart for my age. It’s because of what the thinking of people my age is like.

Well, how do you know if someone is mature enough or not? I don’t know. We barely talk at all. One girl doesn’t find any reason to talk to me but for the usual good morning and good night; the other keeps saying how much she loves me and has missed me (since I was away in another country half my life); and the wife-to-be herself just jokes around me without me ever giving a reply other then a laugh or a smirk. I don’t really think they lived long enough with me or heard enough of my opinions to judge me well enough and decide that it’s safe for them to be around me the way they are. Then again, I’m a very quiet person. These paragraphs could have the same number of words I used throughout my life talking to people about things other than how my day has been or the usual hi and good bye. I’m fairly certain that they couldn’t get a read off me unless if they were actually secretly trained to be better character readers than, say, Batman, Sherlock Holmes or some other fiction character.

One thing’s for sure: Not even puberty is the start of the time at which you should stop treating a kid like a kid when it comes to sexual and moral matters. It’s even before that.
