Lia Thomas on Thursday night became the first transgender athlete to be crowned National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champion, winning the 500 yard freestyle in Georgia - to a silent crowd.

Thomas, 22, scorched her competitors in Atlanta with a 4 minutes 33:24 second race - much to the chagrin of some of her teammates, and to those in the stands, who remained quiet as she won.

He’s a sociopath who has no empathy whatsoever for every hard working girl he knocks out of the standings. I hope he drowns in karma.

I would say the one on the left, by my comment I meant DNA could be used as a screening qualifier. Just because someone says they identify as a female does not make them one.

And not just scholarships. There’s very little money in NCAA swimming (or running). Only football and basketball have good $$. But college recruiting of all athletes of all sports opens up new opportunities for high school girls and guys. Like colleges they couldn’t quite get into with academics alone.

oh, I know. That is just an example of what China does.

Maybe they are all females but they sure don’t look like it to me.

Enemy? Young women are why Democrats haven’t been hunted down with dogs.

How exactly are they stopping anyone from hunting down Democrats? Wouldn't it be law enforcement that does that?

i am not keeping up with this story but I do believe he got beaten ...by another tranny

He let her win (she's a biological female to male tranny who still swims as a female).

In fact, a lot of astute observers comment that often it looks like Thomas is holding back, still winning but not giving everything he's got.

He still hasn't broken any of the multiple world records set by Katie Ledecky.

Absolute Insanity, but the Feminist Movement and their blatant stupidity and selfishness created this, for that I give them credit where credit is due.

“Honestly, I would be ashamed of myself if, to compete, I had to change my gender.”

The idea of honor is disappearing. When I was a kid (66 now), people in the little town I grew up in would talk amongst themselves about people who didn’t pay their bills. Not paying your bills, especially if you are not broke or sick or something, was really frowned up and the people who did that knew it and felt some social pressure. Today, nobody cares. In some cases, you are a sucker if you pay your bills. What this guy is doing is just the natural progression of that.

There is a reason they have women’s sports.

Yep. And this guy is demonstrating it perfectly, for all to see, in a way that wasn’t possible before.

The silver lining to Clown World is we now get to see things we used to take for granted proven in spectacular ways.
