is breaking women’s swimming records

Will Thomas is a strapping 22-year-old man who swam competitively at the University of Pennsylvania for three years. This year, though, Will announced that he’s a woman named “Lia” and, thanks to Biden’s executive orders regarding so-called “gender identity,” got a place on UPenn’s women’s swim team where, to no one’s surprise, he swam faster than the women. Frankly, I think it’s wonderful. That’s not because I’ve gone woke; it’s because this is so blatantly unfair to women, and Will is so obviously a man, that Americans are finally saying that the emperor is wearing the wrong dress.
The only solution to this nonsense is for women to stop competing in events with these guys. The women swimmers should stay on the blocks and let him race and then race when he is done. Shame on the schools and all of us for allowing this to happen to our daughters.

Dingdingding! Bingo. Windburn nails it. Let the women stand up for themselves.
Let em force the issue of transbenders. You can't be fer it and agin at the same time.
Letem insist on recognizing objective truth and reality or letem lose their sports. Period.

Well reasoned and presented in a rational purposeful manner, d'ya think the Times or the Post will pick up on this essay and republish it...More likely, they'll write an opposition piece. Only
G-d knows why?

I have borrowed her quote from the article:
“I will never, absolutely never, use female pronouns for a man who claims to be ‘transgender.’ He is either mentally ill, which is sad, but does not make him a woman, or he’s a sleazy, skeezy opportunist.” - Andrea Widburg
I plan to use it after my email signature whenever I receive an email from someone with "He/Him/His" or other such nonsense after theirs.

Golly. If women are getting soundly thrashed by men in sports such as swimming and weight lifting and track events, I wonder what's going on in public safety positions like the police force and fire department and the military?

These male born athletes can't compete against other male athletes so the next best thing is to declare themselves female and compete against women athletes. It's not fair. It is totally wrong. Female athletes may have to boycott all events until common sense comes to the forefront.There is no level playing field in this situation. The transathletes say they are female but they are built like males. That is an unfair advantage. Pure and simple. Until it's changed the female athletes should boycott. I know that's a drastic move to make but it's the only way to make things right.

I agree with Andrea except for her apparent recognition of "intersex" as a third sex. These people have a Y chromosome, which makes them male.

Widburg is spot-on, with this one addendum:
Why not create a fourth class of competition for such confused people (after male, female, and special ed)?
Let them compete against their own 'kind'.

I can bring myself to accept that a majority will come to accept that the left has foisted this absurdity upon society. But we're a long way from that realization to a reflection on what else they have been promoting that is just as absurd but far far more consequential.

Some say Thomas proves that men are better than women at everything ... including being a woman.

Remember when men from the East block nations would compete in the Olympics saying they were women. It was called cheating. Still is

Sleazy is a good description. Any man with a bit of morality and male ego would be embarrassed to win by cheating like this - it only proves that he isn’t good enough to win against other men.

Back in the day, homosexuals were thought of as freaks. They got accepted as GAY, and along come the trannys who are freaks. They're working on "gender". I hope if they get accepted the next thing we "normals" will be expected to choke down will be Beastiality (barnyard animal admirers ?) rather than pedophiles.
Keep adding letters LGBTWHATEVER. Add a few more stripes to your stupid flag and cheat at sports.

Female athletes are facing a true dilemma. They cannot renounce the males competing as females without transgressing the woke certification that placed them in their socialist farm systems and keeps them in good standing. Yet, it is nearly impossible for them to deny the biological advantage and their natural resentment of the interloping males. Will they start popping red pills and resort to sound judgement and reasonable expectations or bow before the woke wind? Stay tuned...

That's a 'dude' playing girl games. Women have themselves to blame for tolerating this silly transgender shenanigans. The male couldn't win in competition with other males so he identifies himself as female in an arena he can certainly win in. Sickening and disappointing that some people tolerate this farce.

Why do you suppose this clown waited 22 years to make his big transformation announcement? I smell a publicity hound. At least he has the decency to wear a womens' bathing suit. Casually mentioned is that he is a native of Austin, Texas, which explains everything. He came from the country's main nest of sexual confusion.

Perhaps some remember the lawsuits filed by girls/women to compete in such "boys sports as football and wrestling a few years back. Now the circle is complete. There should only be "open competition", the best person wins. No handicapping by gender. And next will be age...those rules are unfair, too! Your little Bobby or Susie should be taught to compete against all comers. And, remember, when the superior team runs up the score because it can, it's only a game and your side should have tried harder and played better.

How "in your face" obvious does this have to be before this literal game of make believe is finally rejected by everyone as the pure fraud that it is.

RE#10....Why go to such lengths for a few mentally deranged people? Either man or woman....compete as who you actually ARE, or do not compete at all.

Suck it up, woke girls. Pretty soon women’s athletics will disappear. I really don’t care. Your sport is being destroyed but you witless feminists aren’t smart enough to realize it. I am ok with it since the left thinks it’s ok. I’ll let them screw the sisterhood on this.
