UPenn transgender swimmer sparks outrage by shattering women’s records

Lia Thomas, a 22-year old transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, has been shattering women’s records at the school.

Before her transition, she competed for three years at Penn as a man, named Will Thomas.

At a meet including Princeton and Cornell on Nov. 20, Thomas had a 1:43:47 time in the 200-meter freestyle and 4:35:06 in the 500-meter freestyle. These times were records for Penn and would have placed Thomas second and third, respectively, in the NCAA Women’s Championships, according to the website OutKick.

It is unknown when Thomas transitioned from male to female, but the swimmer competed as a man as recently as November 2019. NCAA rules mandate at least one year of testosterone suppression treatment to be eligible to compete as a woman.

Another self absorbed punk without a shred of integrity. What's next, adult men competing against children? Non-disabled men competing against the disabled?

Hey feminists - guess what? Women don’t even exist anymore. You can be replaced by men who are even better at being women than you are!

You have to be a woman to shatter women's records.

So...no.

Why do the people who run these events allow this tranny nonsense? Does no one have the balls to stand up for actual women?

Yep. Just like Miss Nevada.
What’s it going to take for women to stand up?

You can't say male and female are social constructs and then get angry when a "transgendered" breaks records in women's sports. Even the term transgendered makes no sense if you believe the term gender is meaningless.

On a side note look at the world records in shot put. At first they look close only being around two feet apart, but then you realize the women's shot weighs 8.8 lbs while the men's weighs 16lbs. There is just no way women can comepete with men

You pretty much nail it there with that post.

He’ll always be a homo, and people will roll their eyes and not respect his “records”.

No, No body has the balls to stand up for actual women athletes.

W are in a politically correct world nowadays, and political correctness overrides every other consideration.

The fear of the left, and what the media will say about people, , causes them to cower in fear when dealing with issues affecting minority groups and the world of LGBT peoples.

So in this Case, the powers that be take the easy way out, and decide that a male who identifies as a female is allowed to compete with the females. I’m sure that’s how this decision was made.

The “actual women” could shut this down tomorrow, they are the ones without the courage.

The NCAA needs to suppress their LSD intake.

It is easier to win a woman’s sports scholarship than a man’s.

You know, in 2000, I wondered if the people of 1950 would have believed that stuff. Now in 2021, I wonder if the people of 2000 would have believed this stuff.
