A second female Penn swimmer has bravely come forward and described how her fellow teammates were in tears after ‘transgender’ swimmer Lia Thomas crushed them in last weekend’s swim meet.
UPenn however is intimidating the female swimmers and telling them not to talk to the media about the Lia Thomas situation.
Lia Thomas, a transgender UPenn swimmer who competed for two full seasons as a man before ‘transitioning’ into a female, shattered women’s records in Akron, Ohio last weekend.
Thomas also finished one of the races 38 seconds ahead of the woman who finished in second place.

A few days ago somebody blasted me for giving the links where the topic was previously discussed—accused me of being a thread cop or something.
I consider it “tough love” for my FRiends.
;-)
Do the searches before starting a new thread, people.
Puhlease.

Between the beauty pageants and the sports, it seems that men are better women than women.
Whoda thunk it?

Of course, the grand irony in all of this, is that after decades of claiming that there's no difference between men and women, this sort of thing perfectly proves how full of crap, and how wrong, the liberals are.
I guess once real women simply give up trying to complete with men claiming to be women, it won't really matter anymore.

You need to qualify this. Almost anyone can ‘write their name in the snow’.

My guess is they are on a swimming scholarship, and can’t quit without losing that scholarship. Correct. These women have already given up enough for this transgender person. So, now we expect them to give up their scholarships, too? Just because they want fairness in sport?
As for their anonymity... I can respect that. Can you imagine the backlash they'd be subfect to from the crazies? And surely Penn has more than their fair share.

Why don’t all of the female swim team members quit today. Being on the team is just a waste of time now. How about a job?

Why don’t the girls stop B-—hing put 5 or 6 of them together find him in an alley and beat the $hit out of him until his moral improves. I know that’s an old school approach, too bad.

Women have not been complaining about equality for 60 years, it is a centuries old gripe. Women are totally against this, now College educated idiots are all in for “Equity” which is not anywhere near equality under the law.

Probably. But at least girl, the last to get a scholarship, has now likely been pushed out of it? Do the scholarships require certain swimming metrics? If they all just sit on the pad, or take a leisurely swim down the pool instead, does that forfeit the scholarship? If you can protest without hurting yourself, that's the way to do it!
To: upchuck
Just don’t compete; stay on the starting blocks in response. See how “easy” it is for s/him to win with no one else in the pool.

The ladies need to boycott the competitions allowing men.

Fair point, but most universities don’t roll that way.
