Lia Thomas and the 'Authentic Self'

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 3/21/2022 6:57:52 PM

If the New York Times poses as America’s newspaper of record, presenting every day’s news through the lens of woke ideology and the Democratic Party narrative, the New Yorker is our flagship “serious” weekly magazine. So when the New Yorker runs a sober 5700-word article about what is arguably, in the minds of our woke brethren, the major issue of the day - namely, trans athletes - it merits notice. The text in question, dated March 17, was written by sports journalist Louisa Thomas (hereafter “Louisa”) and focused primarily on University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas (hereafter “Lia”), who at a meet in Atlanta last Thursday

If the transgenders are ok competing against the women, why don’t they stay and compete against the guys? As an example, women compete on the some of the same bicycling courses as men, but the watts they can generate is so much lower than a mans that they would be at the tail end of any mens race. Maybe it’s because ITS realize they can’t cut it as a man, and so to win they have to compete against the weaker physical sex.

A friend of mine said this, "Lia Thomas proves that men are better at everything...even at being a woman."

Sorry for second post. If men who identify as women are allowed to compete in women's sports it removes the reason for women's sports to exist in the first place. Instead of having men's swimming competitions and women's swimming competitions, just have swimming competitions for everybody with no criteria on entry other than performance.

Let there be an "Authentic Self" class for athletics, where people of every "gender" compete against each other. And let the normal athletics use biological classifications. These self-appointed experts constantly deride anybody who dissents as a "trans-phobic"; phobic, phobic, shmobic -- when they are actually being reality-phobic.

Lia's "authentic self" ranked #482 in men's swimming. That's authentically how good he is...

Every writer about Will (Lia), even those critical of the situation, uses "she" in reference to this man. They complain about a man pretending to be a woman in order to win swimming titles, yet conform to the insanity by using the "preferred" pronoun. This causes cognitive dissonance to me as a reader and dilutes the criticism. Will Thomas is a man. He is manipulating the new wokeness rules to replace his third-tier male swimmer status with #1 woman swimmer status. Plus, he's a "lesbian trans-woman" who apparently still likes girls, as his "member" has shown while walking naked around the girls locker room. He's a pig. He's a cheater and only cares he's the fastest swimmer. If the commies had honed in on "ageism", removing age-based competitions, Will would have gladly swam against grade school boys. If anyone deserved to wake up with a horse head in their bed, its Will Thomas. I'd love to see his "teammates" help him to be less of a man. Paging Lorena Bobbitt.

If these mentally ill trans people want to participate in women's sports, then they should drum up their own league. They positively do NOT belong in women's sports.

FTA: "...for every transsexual athlete who’s allowed to participate in women’s sports, there are hundreds if not thousands of biological females whose athletic careers are being affected by that decision." Women's sports are a sop to less talented humans who want to play, too. Except for parents and lesbians, no one cares. (Name the last WNBA championship team...) It offers second-tier athletes, those who cannot run, jump, or generally outperform men a chance to be big. Yeah, I want to see seven-foot, 275 pound centers in the WNBA. If a bunch of male high schoolers can dismantle the US Womens National Soccer team... Why is there an LPGA? Women are eligible to compete in the US Open. Why aren't there any? Isn't golf golf? Played on an "even field"? By the same token, women are heavily recruited for "glass ceiling" jobs - like special forces operatives, fighter pilots, STEM professions, first responders...etc. And in virtually every instance there are special programs to groom and advance women to the detriment of males, not to mention doctored physical standards. That leaves hundreds if not thousands of biological males whose lives are being affected, doesn't it - not that they don't qualify or surpass the standards for females or other "diverse" groups of people. Railing against affirmative action while whining about a tranny who played by the rules borders on hypocritical. The same folks who say running up the scores on inferior teams is okay now complain about this? Why, such crushing defeat within the rules should inspire female athletes to train harder...isn't that the expressed logic? Lia has done a great service to those who get it. (S)He has clearly demonstrated the difference that so many wish to deny. EQUALITY is what they want, but not at THEIR expense. It's okay if someone else is aced out, like your son. Here you go, Meagan Rapinoe.

Going into the November midterms, we learn that the Republicans enjoy a double-digit generic ballot lead over the Democrats thanks to the concatenating failures of arguably the worst administration ever to preside over the nation. This has led to an overweening confidence by many pundits and commentators that a Republican sweep of the House and the Senate is in the offing. But one should never underestimate the resources of the Democrats, who are no slouches at strategic planning and, judging by past performance, have no intention of playing by the electoral rules. If this exigency is not taken into consideration and forcefully anticipated, the Republicans will lose another election

My family members have been major Disney fans for as long as we can remember. My parents honeymooned at Walt Disney World, and we go there at least once almost every year. I told somebody just yesterday that Disney keeps making it harder for families like ours to be Disney fans. Between their constantly increasing prices and their continuing efforts to make trip planning more difficult, Disney has taken a lot of the fun out of our visits to the parks. On top of that, the company, which remained publicly apolitical for decades, has increasingly taken a hard-left stance. Earlier this month, I wrote about how Disney was walking a fine line

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Vice President Kamala Harris’s speaking blunders are a reason to pray for President Joe Biden’s health. Gingrich told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that Harris’s repetitive ”the passage of time" remarks, in which she said the phrase at least four times within the span of a minute while speaking in Sunset, Louisiana, on Monday, highlight an incoherence on her part. “Kamala Harris may be the dumbest person ever elected vice president in American history, and that’s why people keep resigning,” Gingrich said, referencing the latest departure of Harris's top national security aide, Nancy McEldowney. “I mean, if you were her national security adviser,

Shania Twain once had a hit song called “Man! I feel like a woman,” recorded in 1997, which was a celebration of womanhood. Twenty-five years later, women athletes are singing a different tune, one of dismay over competing against biologic men. What was once "girl power" is now simply horsepower, the benefits of male puberty and testosterone. In the song, it is, “Men’s shirts, short skirts”, but now it’s women’s swimsuits, long hair, and first place finishes. I am referring to Lia Thomas, winner of the NCAA collegiate women’s swim championship 500-yard freestyle event last week. But Lia wasn’t always Lia and was born and grew up as a guy.

Washington -- The South Carolina Department of Corrections said Friday that it can now carry out executions by firing squad in the state should death row inmates choose the method. The department informed state Attorney General Alan Wilson on Friday that it had completed renovations on the death chamber at the Broad River Correctional Institution and had established protocols, making it able to conduct such executions, according to a news release. There are currently no scheduled executions in South Carolina. Executions there had been paused until the state was able to accommodate the firing squad option. In May 2021, South Carolina Gov.

NEW YORK, NY- Much of what we are currently dealing with—from escalating gas prices to runaway inflation to Vladimir Putin’s genocide against Ukraine—can be traced back to the failure of the mainstream media to do their damn job and report on what should have been a scandal the equivalent of Watergate. That of course is the bombshell revelation only weeks before the November 2020 presidential election of the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. One of the leading outlets which buried the story is the so-called “paper of record,” the New York Times. Now all of a sudden, the Times has decided to report the story as fact.

Kim Foxx, the Soros-supporter top prosecutor in Cook County, Illinois, is taking advantage of a new law in that state that allows prosecutors to identify prisoners whose further incarceration “no longer advances the interests of justice.” Like other Soros prosecutors, she is a critic of “mass incarceration,” and has big plans, as Patrick Smith of WBEZ writes: "Three Cook County prosecutors are assigned to work on resentencing motions, but they will only be working on the initiative part time. Foxx said her goal is to expand the program so there are dedicated staffers assigned and she said she eventually wants to loosen the criteria for eligibility.

The Islamic State (ISIS) is back. Five years after Donald Trump entered the Oval Office and quickly brought about the destruction of its caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS is resurgent and wealthy. Could this have anything to do with Old Joe Biden’s misrule? Of course. To be sure, there are other factors at play as well. An Iraqi security official said Friday that “recent assessments … put the group’s reserves at between $25 million and $50 million.” That could be a conservative estimate: the Wall Street Journal reported in September 2020 that ISIS had “assets ranging into the hundreds of millions of dollars across the Middle East and Central Asia,”

A judge in Chicago ruled Friday that an attorney for Jussie Smollett might have defamed two Black brothers who testified that they participated in a fake racist and homophobic attack on the actor when she suggested they had been wearing "whiteface." The Chicago Tribune reported that U.S. District Judge Mary Rowland's ruling centers on comments Tina Glandian made on NBC's "Today" show in March 2019, shortly after the Cook County State's Attorney announced it was dropping charges accusing Smollett of lying to police about the incident two months earlier. Discussing how Smollett had told police that one of his attackers was white, Glandian said that the very dark-skinned brothers

But, like Putin, Xi Jinping denies that they have a right to co-exist as a free people. He is surely watching Putin’s efforts to measure China’s chances against Ukraine. China, though, will face unique challenges if it attacks Taiwan, in addition to meeting the same fierce local resistance Putin’s experiencing.

Democrats are committed "to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035." They want banks to stop financing fossil fuel development by 2030, and they want to end the use of fossil fuels completely by 2050. In reaction to Russia's war with Ukraine, the Biden administration has stopped imports of Russian oil but is negotiating with Iran and Venezuela to make up the shortfall. The Democrat administration is panicking to assure the supply of a commodity that it wants to cancel. Wars have been fought, won, and lost because of oil.

While Joe Biden doesn’t do much in the way of solving any problems, I do have to say that he’s certainly is active — along with his administration — in spreading propaganda and the Democratic narrative on a variety of issues. We saw how his White House reached out to “brief” about 30 TikTok “influencers” on the Russian war against Ukraine. We later saw the result of that “briefing”, which was about selling why it was Vladimir Putin’s fault that the gas prices were going up, not Joe Biden. On Monday, according to the White House, Biden met with “16 CEOs of major companies across several industries

A Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operated by China Eastern Airlines has crashed in rural China, presumably killing all 132 souls aboard. Video of the plane nosediving into the ground and the aftermath has emerged. As is expected with any video of this kind, viewer discretion is advised. Much is unknown at this point, but I am a commercial multi-engine pilot and a flight instructor so I can add a few points of speculation to ponder. According to the flight data available, the rapid descent started at around 30,000 feet. That would point to either a structural failure that caused a loss of flight controls or a high-altitude stall

The lawsuit, filed by April Curley, says Google places black employees in lower-level jobs, pays them less, and denies them opportunities to grow at the company, Reuters reported. Specifically, Curley states black people make up only 4.4% of employees and about 3% of leadership, according to Reuters. Curley also said Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, required black people to show identification or else face questioning at the Mountain View, California campus, Reuters reported.
