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.

This nonsense will end when thousands of men get the hormone treatments and start dominating women’s sports on every level.

Sometimes things have to get really really bad before they can get better.

This is just plain sick. I get as angry as anyone at the title nine extortion in college sports, but the organized feminists did that, not the female athletes themselves.

“HAHAHA Men make better women. Quite a conundrum for the lgbtqwtf crowd.”

Men are apparently better at being women, than women. There might have been something to the old discredited “inferior sex” line.

If the real females walked out every time a tranny showed up, this would end quickly. Soon there will be three-four trannys at every competition and women will win not places at all.

It’s up to those being cheated to act, they are willing to settle for second place. We’ll see if they are willing to settle for 3rd, 4th or 5th place soon.

This needs a truly feminist book, that disavows trannies as females, and asserts that “women are women and men are men”. Likewise, “Lesbians do not have penises.”

It must disavow those who seek to elevate trannies to the level of women, that they are *not* feminists, in fact, they are misogynists, “women haters”. And go after the roots of this efforts, in school boards, sports associations, etc.

Such weaklings are terrified by the idea of public denunciation.

A little distracted by the thought of a dude (and junk) in a girl’s competitive swimsuit.

Why “outrage”?

Men are, on average, are stronger, faster, and have greater endurance than women.

And, yes, there are (many) trained and fit women who could kick my ass in a fight or a competitive sport. There may even be a few who could kick GrandJediMasterYoda’s ass.

But the issue here is not that. The issue is, are there top flight competitive women who can beat top flight competitive men in tests of strength, speed, and endurance (for example, can qualify as Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, win in the octagon - I’m not talking about Bobby Riggs and tennis).

And the answer, once again, is no. That a championship level man beats a bunch of championship level women in a sport they both play? Outrage?

Give me a break. In other news, fire burns and water is wet. Get back to us, Ryan Glasspiegel, when you have something interesting to say.

“Does no one have the balls to stand up for actual women?”

This is the logical extension of the 19th Amendment and feminism.
Since women are equal, why should any man stand up for it?

Good. I hope more men keep breaking women’s records.

I, for one, am looking forward to the tranny takeover of the WNBA.

Might actually make women's basketball watchable.

There’s actually a term for feminists who hate trannies; TERF. Look it up.

I never thought I’d agree with a radical feminist about anything, but they recognize that threat. Rightfully.

It’s funny though; the tranny lobby gets all upset and goes on about how there’s no gender, but when one sex mirrors the other, they go to the stereotypical: Giant t!ts, tiny waist, long hair, like a perversion of the perfect 50’s house wife. The same goes for women attempting to mimic men. Think Buck Angel, who is the most convincing F->M tranny I’ve ever seen. Be forewarned if you’re not familiar with the name: Buck’s a porn star.

One of my friends owns a vintage shop that I frequently patron, and she had to start disallowing cameras in her dressing room because cross-dressers come in and play dress-up. She recently adopted a policy of disallowing men to try on women’s clothing because they usually ruin it. They’re not feminized, tiny dudes who tend to their bodies and wear anti-perspirant, the usual cross-dressers eho patron her store; they’re like the Marines who let themselves go when they come home. Super masculine physique that’s put on a few pounds.

No, she’s not a Leftist. She’s just trying to keep her business going, and bad reviews could kill her. We’re in Chicagoland, so word will spread FAST. There’s a huge LGBTQ community around here.

Has Will had his chopitoffame (chop-it-off-a-me) operation yet? If not I suggest that the women at his next competition catch him in the locker room and remove the inappropriate parts!
