UPenn Nominates Male Swimmer Lia Thomas for NCAA Woman of the Year
The New American ^ | July 16, 2022 | James Murphy

Posted on 07/16/2022 7:26:17 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), an institution founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1740, this week chose to nominate transgender swimmer Lia Thomas to be the NCAA’s Woman of the Year for 2022. Thomas is a biological male who was allowed to compete this year in the women’s division for swimming and diving.

Thomas appears to be the only male among 577 graduating student athletes who was nominated for the award. According to the NCAA, the award recognizes “female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers.”

Thomas previously competed collegiately as a male for three years prior to this season — before he decided he was a female. He was ranked 462nd as a male swimmer — as a female he was ranked number one. Thomas won the NCAA championship in the 500-yard freestyle when he defeated Olympic silver medalist Emma Weyant, who finished 1.75 seconds behind.

It’s a good move. It provides absolute proof of how crazy the “Woke” universities have become.

Have to change the narrative. Stop calling women are omen and start calling them biological females. That will cause a storm and a much needed one.

Ugh. Just, ugh.

Way beyond arrogantly ignorant. It is an invasion from Bizarro World, an alternate universe where all the natural order of things is suspended, to be called upon only when it is in support of your personal opinion.

Sick and disgusting. A spit/slap in the face of the biological women who have worked hard to get where they are today, only to have ‘the-powers-that-be’ take it all away by allowing a biological MALE (and a ‘loser’ among male competition), with obvious physical advantages, to swim against them.

Anything perverted, immoral or unethical, the LEFT supports. I hope the women being so horribly discriminated against and treated so unfairly, will realize what is going on and despite their LEFTIST university, they’ll end up on the “right” side of truth & life (no puns intended) in all things, not just swimming.

Men are better at everything than women.
Men are even better than women at being women.
Lately the Woman of the Year awards have been given to Men. Why? Because we’re just that much better.

The expression on the face of the woman standing next to him says it all.

It’s joints like UPenn that are turning our youngsters into retarded Snowflakes and evil, Girls Gone Wild Disney Feminazi Princesses. It’s time to start defunding them and reducing the number of kids they are allowed to brainwash, indoctrinate and program.

There’s nothing a woman can do that a man can’t do better - that includes actually being one. Giving birth? Easy! Tell me again why we even need women hanging around.

I’m old enough to remember when the democrats always brought out that old trope accusing the assistant democrats of waging a “war on women”. LOL

This type of celebration of the absurd is by design to break down our societal norms and destroy the family unit. Without the family the government becomes the head of household.

Fag of the year would be more appropriate. Besides, what the hell is a woman anyway? Nobody knows. Especially the SCOTUS.

Biological females should refuse to go to any school in the NCAA and should compete at other schools.
