      No it’s not the question of the biological female’s chance of winning. 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.

        You're splitting hairs. Of course, they are different and by including Trans athletes as females, you are putting girls at an incredible disadvantage. They aren't good enough to compete with men and have no chance of winning with Trans athletes. This person is winning swimming races by 17 to 50 seconds. It's like racing poodles against greyhounds. The fastest poodle won't have a chance against the slowest greyhound. It doesn't mean some poodles aren't fast, vs. other poodles. It's not a value judgement. It takes years of dedicated training to become a successful swimmer. Why would a girl do it if she's going to have to compete with the likes of this? If this is allowed, it will demolish women's sports.

          And justifiably so. Of course, the politics of the situation dictate that you cannot be openly critical of this. It's being shoved down these girls' throats. Speak out and your career in education might be over. It's bull****, but it's a fact.

            That's Fox. And props to them for defending the women on this nonsense.


            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.......

              Lia Thomas in 1:41.93 at the Zippy Invitational in Akron, Ohio, on Saturday to break the school’s all-time mark and establish the best time in the nation this season, according to the university. On Sunday, by more than 38 seconds in 15:59.71 to set another university record.

              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.”



              That's a dude

                  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.
