It’s like everything else in America. Nobody cares anymore. It’s a pretty sad situation. They’ve destroyed this country

"We"? I don't care if some disturbed dude breaks every record ever set by a real woman. The "trans" sickness in our society would not even exist without the aid and support of women, who've been whining about and trying to get rid of masculinity for decades. Now that it's bitten them in the butt I'm supposed to care?

You answered your own question - “Female athletes and their parents should loudly protest.”

I don’t understand why we haven’t seen such protest.

All the real girl swimmers should just quit swimming. Leave Lia to herself with all the pansy coaches who obviously don’t know how to coach women.

“Nobody cares anymore.”

True. The stages of grief are about played.

The women should not swim. Bob around in their lane, point and laugh. Why are they swimming? Little sympathy for those who won’t fight for themselves.

I would like just once to see ‘Lia’ standing alone just before the start goes off.

The real women should just walk away.

Liberals attacked the traditional role of women, when they pursued feminism all those years ago. Now they’ve attacked feminism, by pursuing transgenderism, ie., men being allowed to compete in female sporting events. While trying to eliminate masculinity, they’ve actually ended up demeaning the female species as a whole, while destroying female sexuality, and femininity.

Bingo! Let the clown who claims to be a woman, swim by himself. See how long that lasts. Ask if he has been castrated, that would make him a eunuch, not a pretend woman.

https://thepostmillennial.com/title-ix-complaint-filed-against-ncaa-over-lia-thomas-participation-win-in-womens-swimming

On Thursday, Concerned Women for America filed a formal complaint with the US Department of Education Office for Civil Rights against the University of Pennsylvania for allowing a biological male who identifies as a woman and goes by the name Lia Thomas to compete on the women’s swim team.

In a letter to Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon, the group stated that the complaint was filed against the school "for its egregious violations of the protections for women on the basis of sex secured a half-century ago in the landmark passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972."

"Thomas is anatomically/biologically a male who should not be eligible to compete in women's sports, depriving anatomically/biologically female athletes of the opportunities afforded to them by law."

...and there is is; there's either Title IX as law or there are trannies in women's sports. There can't be both.

Follow the money. They won’t quit because they get scholarship money.

Yes. The Karens brought this on themselves. They need to fix it themselves. The first step is to grovel in front of the people they have slandered.

From what I understand, there aren’t athletic scholarships in the Ivy League. If that’s true, at least some of these women didn’t have scholarships to lose for standing up for what’s right.

And say good-bye to their athletic scholarships?

The organizations that now certify transgender race results need to be convinced to change their rules. That might be legally messy. It's not obvious to me what the best solution would be.

exactly correct.

The reason people are upset about this is such a shallow reason as well. Its because the transwomen are winning.

If they weren’t dominating, would they care?

Thismis whats totally wrong with the argument.

Something like this is only wrong because “the wrong people” are winning.

You people here who are against it have no problem with it if they wouldn’t be winning. Hardly a solid moral argument against it.

And before you say you have some moral underpinning against it, you don’t. Everyone is only upset because the people you don’t want to win, are winning.

You know why thats your only reason? Because you have never once said its not right for trans-men to be on mens teams, for the moral reason they are women and they are robbing a real young man/man of a place on that team just to make a personal statement.

You’re hypocrites. I am against men on womens teams and women on mens teams. Its wrong not just because the people we don’t want to win, dominate over others. Its wrong because no matter who wants to do it, is wrong. Its wrong to rob spots from BOTH men and women on their male and female teams. Its wrong because transsexuality is a mental illness, no matter if a woman has it or a man has it. Its something that needs to be corrected, not accomodated. No matter if its a woman or man.

Its not wrong because some people we dont like have physical advantages over others and they can win more easily. thats the basest, shallowest, hollow argument you can offer. Object to it on moral grounds. Psychological grounds. Object to it because sports should not be made peoples’ personal woketard places to make personal statements. Obejct to it because every opposite sex person on the wrong team takes up a space that should have gone to a real man or woman. Object for some higher reason other than “they are winning and we don’t like that”. Its the stupidest weakest argument out there. Aim higher.

They could just refuse to swim. If the coach threatened them with the cancelation of their scholarships they can remind him that they did not decide to go to that college to swim against a guy pretending to be a girl.

Their entire memory of swimming there is marred by seeing Lia taking a shower and having to look at his weiner.

All of this “ transgender” nonsense is being pushed by homosexuals who hate women (any psychiatrist worthy of the name will tell you such.)

Notice how women are diminished and degraded with the implementation of this demonic nonsense.

My mother played Golf with a woman who asked the PGA if she could compete.

They said ‘if you can play well and make the cut we are very happy to have you play with us.’

She did and played for a while, did not win.
