Transgender athlete Lia Thomas heads into the Ivy League women’s swimming championship as the favorite in three events—and the second seed in a fourth race—as the meet begins Wednesday in Boston amid a national debate over fairness and inclusion in women’s sports. The University of Pennsylvania senior secured the No. 1 seed in the 200-, 500- and 1,650-yard freestyle, and the second seed in the 100-yard freestyle. She also is expected to participate in relay events at the end-of-season meet hosted by Harvard University at Blodgett Pool. Thomas dominated the freestyle events in her first year on the women’s team after swimming for three years

It is just not fair. 'It' gets to kick with three legs while real women can only use two.

And when things get normal again, we will recall HE is not a SHE and eliminate the records set. He's only harming real women athletes and they can sue him and the Athletics Board for their lost opportunities.

This trans movement is more than just fairness; it’s about morality and basic Judeo/Christian foundational teachings. Make no mistake, this movement has the church in its sites. In their mind, people of faith are judgmental and racist. I choose the moral authority of the Bible, not my precious feelings. When I think of this twisted type of behavior, I think of one word; witchcraft. Jesus said we must be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves.

This guys brother is a swimmer. Has won countless swim meets. Ole “Lia” not so much. Easier for “Lia” to swim with people he can beat. Must not be as good as his brother. What a legacy he is making for himself!

I used to think Ivy league schools were full of intelligent people. Not any more.

Why doesn't a school enter a female dolphin or seal in the event. At least it would really be a female and would be relying on its own feminine abilities.

#8, if the real women quit, then they lose their scholarship funding, and that money is needed because the Marxists have made university education ruinously expensive, by design (out of our pockets and into theirs). A nice dilemma. Play along and bear the burden you demanded, or leave the system entirely, a lifetime of effort wasted for nothing.

It just irks the crap out of me when the writers for these stories use the term "she" when referring to transgenders.

Obscene! What's worse, the NCAA shot out an e-mail just a week or so ago extolling women's sports and what the NCAA is supposedly doing to promote women's sports. All the while they're promulgating rules to let these hairy, over-muscled steroided men in skirts and wigs run roughshod over the women in women's sports.
Obscene!

The only way this evil insanity is going to stop is when all the normal women swimmers refuse to swim against him and any other mentally ill men that want to play this game too. They need to sacrifice in the short term to assure the very survival of women's sports in the long term!!!!
They need to go up to the platforms, turn their backs, and refuse to get in the water. Let him swim every event by himself. Let every title he "wins" have a huge asterisk next to it.

I'd love it if the women who are entered in the races with Thomas would walk up to the edge of the pool and take a knee. Let him race alone in the pool, refuse to play his game.

She is not a she. Lia is a man pretending to be a woman. Stop the madness.

He ought to get booed endlessly, everywhere he goes.
And the women competitors should all withdraw, refuse to swim with a man.

The truth revealed by Thomas has nothing to do with gender fluidity, gender dysphoria, gender pronouns or athletic prowess. That truth is that Lia Thomas is a jerk. He is famous for being a jerk. In number and size his medals and trophies are evidence of how big a jerk he is.
#15, brilliant idea.

Dittos #15. At the gun let Him go, wait 20 seconds then start the real women. The true winner will be in the 2nd heat.

All women swimmers should BOYCOTT this event. As long as there are trannys in the competition, it is best to not show up at all in protest. Hold the line and do not show up. Let him win because no one showed up to race him/it.

If the Penn female swimmers gave the local press a tip that the entire team would summarily quit if the trans was in the competition they would get the attention that this issue deserves. No matter how much these woman love Penn I'm sure they could get scholarships elsewhere if they all acted in unison. There is great strength in numbers. Just complaining about the issue will not solve the problem. The female swimmers must make this a cause celebre with lots of press, photographers and tv coverage, maybe even hire a PR firm. Just complaining about it individually will solve nothing.

Good time for the "women" to just get into the starting position and stay there after the starting gun goes off. They do not stand a chance of winning anyway.

I have an idea. Just give everyone a Participation Trophy and tell them to shut up.
Due to my sense of decorum I resisted using an expletive or acronym, but I really, really wanted to.

I still think the best way to "compete" would be for the natural born women to prepare to swim against the person in question. When the starting signal is given, stay on the edge of the pool and let the person in question be the only person in the pool. Every time this person is in an event, do it again.

They got the fairness and inclusion their Marxist professors told them they wanted. How's it working out for you? This "Lia" nonsense and so much else that's going on in clown world might be just the tonic the stupids need to awaken from their MSM trance and get out of the way so the rest of the mess can be cleaned up with great vigor and urgency.
