Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who smashed women's records this year, will be banned from competing against women in international events after the world swimming's governing body announced that it will bar transgender athletes who went through male puberty.

FINA, the international federation sports federation for swimming, announced on Sunday that it is changing its policies so that transgender women can only compete in women's races if they have completed their transition by the age of 12.

They will then have to prove to the federation that they have continuously suppressed their testosterone levels since that time.

” if they have completed their transition by the age of 12. “

But democraps want to raise the age limit to buy a gun to 21 because at 18, they aren’t mature enough.

One fits the narrative, the other doesn’t.

12 . . . 21

So the digits are kind of flipped.

New Math

It’s all the same.

I am CONVINCED that the entire reason Lia Thomas did what he did was to FORCED these Leftist clowns to have to back off their social experimentation - and get back to reality.

That’s why I called him the ‘Rosa Parks’ of his generation.

I suggest the name of the category be “Funny Cars”. Always found humor in that for car racing. But that’s just me.

You are 11. Do you want to be a female swimmer or not. Decide!

When these narcissistic mental patients are forced to compete against other narcissistic mental patients, after their initial whining and what will be brief attempts at political retribution, they and their “sports” will never be heard from again.

Reference to drag racing where are outlaw classes for enhancements not legal in typical classes.

So the entire governing board is mentally ill and thinks that children can make decisions about using dangerous “puberty blockers”.
