Sports Illustrated’s laughable puff piece about Will Thomas, the fake woman dominating women's swimming

I was wondering where Sports Illustrated was when it came to Will Thomas, the lousy male swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania who now competes as a woman and blows away in the competition. (Note: High school boys routinely beat professional women athletes.) It turns out that SI’s Robert Sanchez was slaving over a puff piece allowing Will to tell “her story.” Will is an uninteresting, immature man suffering from body dysmorphia. What’s more interesting is SI’s relentless propaganda push.

My latest story for @sinow is about Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer from the Univ of Pennsylvania who is dominating her competition. She spoke exclusively to me and discussed her life and the reasons why it’s important to compete as her authentic self.

On Thursday, SI published a gushy, puffy, oozing-with-sympathy piece about Will Thomas. It sounds exactly like an old-time, heart-tugger from a 1950’s women’s magazine about an abandoned mother who rebuilt her life baking muffins for orphans. While Thomas is a pathetic misfit who’s as excited as a college student winning an elementary school spelling contest, SI has his back. This is from the opening paragraph, where he is set up like Joan of Arc, a warrior-martyr for the French people:

On this January evening her long torso was wrapped in a University of Pennsylvania swim and dive jacket, her hair still damp from a swim—roughly three miles staring at the black line on the bottom of the pool. She looked exhausted. As college students across the country were digging into their Friday nights, Thomas was thinking about her weekend plans: sleeping, studying and another grueling swim practice.

Thomas is described as “the shy senior economics major from Austin....” Conservative sites (such as this one), we learn, “have called her a man [he is] and deadnamed her, purposely using the name she went by before transitioning.”

On reddit the sports sub is discussing Iowa banning men competing as women.

https://www.reddit.com/r/sports/comments/t61bsq/transgender_girls_and_women_now_barred_from/

Pretty much everyone thinks its a good idea. If the same thing is posted on /r/politics, hilarity ensues.

I'm quite certain that it was unwilling to cite the MAIN reason:

Namely, if it competed as its authentic biological self, it would be mediocre at best.

Just wait until they put him on the cover of their next “swimsuit issue.”

Thomas is vying for the title of biggest sphincter in the world

He can’t win agaisnt males, so, instead,of knowing his limitations, he swims against weaker women in order to,feel like a winner. You gotta be the world’s biggest scumbag to pull a stunt like that.

“as her authentic self.”
100% the opposite of reality. HIS authentic self is a MAN. His delusional self is a woman. Delusion is not reality, even if a once-good sports mag has gone insane.

The only way that this is going to end is if women refuse to compete in events where men are competitors.

Pretty much. The ball is in their court. The biggest hang up is that the insane school administrators will revoke their scholarships if they do so. It’s not like they care if there is a swim team. A swim team doesn’t make the school any money. In fact, it is an expense.

SI by going woke has lost its core audience.

Will Thomas got erections while he was undressing around all those nude female swimmers? Doesn’t that disallow him from undressing in the women’s locker room?

Best part of the review is placing (sic) after every instance of SI using incorrect English.
