The question is whether it's unfair to cisgender females to compete where they have no chance of winning. I think they should have another category for transsexual women.

Why would that only become the question after all this time? it’s assessing the transsexual athlete’s natural born male advantages same as you would any other PED etc. I’m not anti-trans but you’re making it the issue of the females where they’re just “not good enough” rather than the actual issue of a non-biological female competing in female sport.Last edited by medic5678; 12-11-2021, 10:24 AM.

Are any of the MSM outlets covering this? I'd wager not.
I know ESPN is not. Seems they'd cover an athlete absolutely destroying records at the rate this dude is, but they haven't said a word.......

In a previous meet against Ivy League rivals Princeton and Cornell, in what was the best collegiate time (a Princeton record 4:35.06) so far, in addition to capturing the 100 and 200.
Thomas, from Austin, Texas, could become NCAA Division 1 swimming’s first transgender All-American or national champion, . The championships are in March in Atlanta, and Thomas has established herself as a strong contender.
Swimming is “a huge part of my life and who I am. I’ve been a swimmer since I was 5 years old,” she told in June. “The process of coming out as being trans and continuing to swim was a lot of uncertainty and unknown around an area that’s usually really solid. Realizing I was trans threw that into question. Was I going to keep swimming? What did that look like?”
Thomas, who’s competing as a senior after the Ivy League canceled the previous season due to the pandemic, added: “Being trans has not affected my ability to do this sport and being able to continue is very rewarding.”

If someone's daughter is smart enough to get into an Ivy League school and talented enough to make the swim team? That is quite an accomplished young woman.
But then this freak completely makes a mockery of all her hard work and effort.
