Once again, a man has invaded the personal space of women and cleaned up big — in Florida, no less, where woke allegedly goes to die.
According to the Media Research Center on Wednesday, David Hughes entered the “Ladies No-Limit Hold’em” tournament at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Saturday.
The 70-year-old “simply identified as a woman and was allowed to play. Florida casinos cannot prevent men from doing so because of anti-discrimination laws,” the MRC noted. The white-bearded Hughes made no attempt to look or dress like a woman.

Hughes eventually pocketed $5,555 after prevailing over the 82 women contestants who participated in the tournament at the Fort Lauderdale casino.
“But Hughes didn’t just enter to get a big payday,” the MRC added. “Other players at the event said they heard Hughes mocking transgenderism and society’s unwillingness to draw a distinction between the two genders.”
Ebony Kenney, one of the women who succumbed to Hughes, was so flummoxed by his presence that she put a “bounty” on him.
“While we appreciate the dead money, I really wish men would get what these events stand for,” Kenney tweeted. “So I put a $300 bounty on his head … Let’s get him.”
Eventually, the bounty spiked to $2,000.
But all for naught.

Kenney added, “Maybe Dave was overheard saying he ‘could pretend to identify as a woman because they allow anything nowadays.’ And by maybe, I mean, 100%.”
As for Hughes’ victory, MRC columnist John Simmons said it was unclear whether being a man gave Hughes an advantage that carried him to victory.
But it did show that liberals’ embrace of identity politics is backfiring on the people they allegedly stand up for.
By winning, Hughes demonstrated how “transgenderism and ‘self-identification’ helps bypass that boundary” that declares “keep men with men, and women with women.”
“If anyone can simply say they identify as the opposite gender, then we get a situation like this, with women losing out on a payday because a man hijacked the system. That is, in effect, transgender’s royal flush that no one can top,” Simmons added.
“Unless, of course, everyone stops going all in to support transgenderism not just in poker, but any other competition setting. Only then will this progressive agenda – and those who support it – be forced to fold ‘em and walk away.”
