Ya, we shouldn't have separate teams for Men and Women, just let them compete together.

And while we're at it what's wrong with performance enhancing drugs?

Your competition cheats? So what? Grow up and accept it!

Women have fought hard for decades to be recognized for their abilities. Now some freak guy is taking it away from them. Where are the women’s rights groups?

There is dead silence from the feminists on this issue for one simple reason:

The whole idea of women being "recognized for their abilities" is exposed as a complete farce when women compete in sports separately from men.

If women are supposed to be equal to men, then they can start by beating them at least occasionally in sports competitions. If they can't do that, then they aren't really as "equal" as these feminists have been claiming for years.

Feminists are silent because they can't reconcile this basic inconsistency.

THE END.

Right. University of Pennsylvania and ***The*** Pennsylvania State University are two different schools.

People who know this say “Penn” to refer to the first and “Penn State” to refer to the second, which admittedly may be why some confusion still exists about this, whereas, for example, when it comes to the two different schools University of Michigan and Michigan State University, there never has been any such confusion.

Any of the girls that chose to participate in this farce are enablers. Pure and simple. It’s time to stand up and be heard, ladies. Or, be dominated by men pretending to be women. Your choice.

Awful times. (Actual) Women on social media will be the death or imprisonment of us all. They’re mostly the ones driving all this crap.

That’s absolutely the correct way for the women to deal with this - they aren’t technically disqualified, but the protest is real and impossible to ignore.

Let’s see the NCAA punish them then, gutless cowards that band of exploiters are.

Cervantes, in Don Quixote had some advise about this in the 1600s.
The winner in literary competitions is always the King’s favorite. The true winner is 2nd Place.

Same now goes for athletic competitions.

RE: Lia Thomas becomes 1st transgender woman to win NCAA championship

The correct title should be:

Lia Thomas becomes the 1st MAN to win the Women’s NCAA Swimming Championship

"Where do you see Penn St in the article?"

I didn't read the article - this is right there in the excerpt:

“I didn’t have a whole lot of expectation for this meet,” said Thomas, a former male swimmer for Penn State.

I keep wondering if, at some point he will say....”I wanted to see how far I could push the idiocy” and returns to normal

They've been threatened if they protest or speak out.

Kicked off the team and out of school.

“Let them compete against them selves. Give them their own category”

Give them squat, let ‘em organize their own affairs.

Emma Wyant is 10 times the athlete that Thomas is.

Maybe this will finally get the NCAA to restore fair competition.

I hope he breaks every record. Wins every race. Stands on the podium every time.

It seems America needs to have its face rubbed in this sh*t to have any chance to wake up.

When the (real) girls stand up and fight this, it will end. Until then have no sympathy.

Will (aka “Lia”) is a man, not a woman!
