Humans are essentially herd animals, finding safety in numbers. Most fear standing out and can easily be bullied into either silence or complicity. I don’t say this as an insult. It’s just a fact. For a long time, Americans have been socially bullied or economically coerced into accepting the “transgender” fiction. However, the tide seems to be shifting and, as brave people make a stand, others are learning to be brave. That’s the case with Paula Scanlan, who has gone from shy anonymity to open-faced, raw courage regarding UPenn’s psychological warfare against women swimmers who didn’t want to compete with a biological man.
A little over a year ago, Will Thomas, a strapping man, announced he was a woman, took some female hormones, and was suddenly swimming for the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s swim team.
Given his massive biological advantage, he went from being a mediocre male collegiate swimmer to being a top-level women’s swimmer. He’s a perfect example of the so-called “transgender” people who, not content with being allowed to wear their sexual fetishes out in public, insist that they should be able to force others to engage with them—to their detriment—in that same fetish.
Initially, only one young woman on the UPenn team—Riley Gaines—was willing to speak out publicly. (When she first spoke, Gaines was sufficiently brainwashed that she kept referring to Thomas, a biologically intact male, as “she” but I think Gaines is over that problem now.) Gaines has become one of America’s most outspoken people pushing back against “transgender” madness.
Gaines wasn’t the only woman upset that a biological male was stripping down naked in the locker rooms, ogling the women’s bodies, and stealing their places on the championship podium.

However, unlike Gaines, this woman maintained her anonymity, insisting that she be filmed in a way that completely obscured her identity.
It takes one courageous person like Riley Gaines to stand for the truth. That courage will soon become infectious.

A teammate of Lia Thomas appeared in What Is A Woman anonymously. A few days ago she came to us and said she is ready to come out publicly and tell her story. I had a longer conversation with Paula where she revealed a number of details that weren't covered in the film. Watch: pic.twitter.com/wlknGmslJC — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) June 5, 2023
[Beginning at 1:00] I just spent this last year just kind of living vicariously through “Oh, Riley’s going and doing these great things. She's going to accomplish all these things we need to have done.” And she's made great strides, but I am still feeling so passionately about this that I want to join her. And I know that the more voices we have—and I'm hoping even more people will speak out—the more voices we have, the more powerful this will be.
Riley Gaines swam for the University of Kentucky, not the University of Pennsylvania. Riley was on an opposing swim team, not the same team as Will Thomas.
“the more voices we have, the more powerful this will be.”
yes ... is the tide turning?
WE are still in up to our eyeballs.
BUT at least the line is becoming clearer.
The appropriate response would have been for the women to jump this pervert in the shower and then perform definitive corrective surgery on him.
Repeal the 19th. They voted for this marxist BS.
The HUGE problem is this woman still refers to the man, Will Thomas, as “she” “her” and “Lia.” STOP indulging these sick degenerate perverts.
So there are two swimmers who are not insane.
Women are upset because they have to swim against a male who is pretending to be a female.
Have they thought about men in the infantry who have to rely on a woman pretending to be a infantryman in battle or exercises?
Have they thought about firemen who have to depend on woman pretending to be fireman when fighting fires?
Have they thought about male package loaders who have to lift all the heavy packages all day so women pretending to be package loaders can handle just the light packages all day?
Women want all the advantages of being a woman (and a man) but none of the disadvantages of a man.
I am tired of the hypocrisy.

I appreciate the humor there, but the actual appropriate response would have been for the true women to never leave the starting blocks.
Let this mental misfit swim the race alone.
“I appreciate the humor there, but the actual appropriate response would have been for the true women to never leave the starting blocks.

Agreed.
How bad will it mess up all of the stats, if every race that Thomas is in he comes in first. and there are no others recorded.
or the ratings, sponsorships, etc completely dry up for any race that he is in.
And when it gets to the point that the only people that Thomas races against are other trans swimmers?
Yep, it needs to be a unified approach to ridiculing this guy.
All those real female swimmers should gang up on that asshole and beat the living tar out of him..........
Yup...gonna have to admit there ARE differences...or lose the battle

AMEN! PREACH IT! This is EXACTLY right.
Woman swimmer: “Hey, Will, how’s it hanging?
Trophies, gold medals, free access to the chicks’ locker room and freedom to flash ; good to be a phony.
Why is that coach still employed?
And pretty, too.
This faker makes me so angry. What type of human takes satisfaction from cheating? I guess we already know.
RE: What type of human takes satisfaction from cheating?
More disturbing — what type of organization OPENLY ALLOWS cheating?
