Oh the irony!

The wins weren't huge though, so unsure why they say "crushed", unless they mean mentally?

Don't care what anyone says though, I think this is funny!

UPenn Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas Crushed By Trans Opponent At Swim Meet

University of Pennsylvania male-to-female trans swimmer Lia Thomas was defeated two times by female-to-male trans opponent Iszac Henig at a swim meet Saturday, according to the Daily Mail.



Thomas lost to Yale swimmer Henig in the 100-yard freestyle by roughly three seconds, according to the Daily Mail. Henig claimed another victory in the women’s 400-yard freestyle relay with a time of 50.45 seconds, while Thomas finished at 51.94 seconds.

Henig’s breasts have been surgically removed, but she has not started hormone therapy, according to a New York Times column the Yale swimmer penned in June 2021.

“As a student-athlete, coming out as a trans guy put me in a weird position,” Henig wrote. “I could start hormones to align more with myself, or wait, transition socially and keep competing on a women’s swim team. I decided on the latter.”

Sounds to me like they are both ready to go to San Francisco and try for QUEEN of the Swimwanna Bee's Club.

I'm waiting for the explosion of level heads that think logically finally having enough of this farce and those like it.

Am I the only person sick of the demand that we pretend that what is in front of our eyes just isn’t there? Up is not down, right is not left, man is not woman.

I cannot by sheer force of will make myself into a T-Rex but by modern thinking I can and should be able to demand that those around me refer to me as such. Even more ridiculous is that there are those who believe that there should be consequences for those like myself who refuse to pretend along with those around me who want to be unicorns.

I am tired.

The arguments "for" are ridiculous

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Several swimming parents said the NCAA should review rules regarding transgender athletes and women's sports,.
They expressed their concerns to Fox News following University of Pennsylvania's latest home meet where transgender athlete Lia Thomas competed after recently breaking two national records.
"It starts with the NCAA," two parents of a Penn swimmer on the women's team told Fox News. "I think the NCAA needs to change its policies, and find a way to include transgender women without trampling all over biological women," the parents said.
