The University of Pennsylvania’s transgender swimmer, Lia Thomas, was defeated by another transgender swimmer.
The record-shattering Thomas previously competed on the Penn men’s team and has transitioned to female.
But at an Ivy League swim meet Saturday, a Yalie, Iszac Henig, defeated Thomas in both the women’s 100- and 400-yard freestyle races, the Daily Mail reported.
Henig, who is transitioning from female to male, set a record for the women’s 50-yard freestyle, the outlet said.
Henig was able to compete on the women’s team because she had yet to start testosterone treatment, according to a June piece in The New York Times.

She’s shooting up high doses of man juice.
Destroying women's sports you mean. No effect on men's sports whatsoever. Thank God for that.
The losers here are the normal women who compete but can’t win. Ruining the sport.
Reminds me of chess. No way even a grand master can beat the computers so why should the young beginners bother?
Avoid living in blue states.
There’s been talk that Thomas needs to lose a race to keep the transgender thing from getting to much bad press, proving it doesn’t give an advantage of just male against female. So I guess this is how they go about proving it but all they’ve done is create more controversy.
I for one could care less. If women let these trannies walk all over them it’s on the women. Not me. They can fight the battle. The men should stay on the sidelines. Our first job is to protect our women-not here.
True but mostly WOMENS sports.
My wife just asked “where are the feminists? Shouldn’t they be in arms over this.”
Exactly—think I have the answer?..beats me.
The outcome of sports events run by liberals appear to be as trustworthy as the outcome of elections run by liberals.
Folks, the guillotine was made for a purpose.
This is the fruit of feminism and liberalism.
Largely done via women’s votes.
>>>dominated by “fellow” Ivy League transgender swimmer Iszac Henig<<<
Surprised no one caught this . . . that had that part right. He was definitely a “fellow.”
fellow
fĕl′ō
noun
A man or boy.
A boyfriend.
People enjoy competing against themselves and each other. The existence of bikes and cars does not stop people from running in races, even marathons.
I watched the video of the race. The penn state transgender clearly was not trying. The girls were swinging their arms fast as they could. He was swimming at a modest pace, at best
in other words he deliberately lost. Was it to let the other transgender win? Or tamp down the complaints of his dominance?
Quick glance over at DU and I don’t see anybody talking about this, maybe I missed it but you’d think that would be at the top of breaking news for them.
So, do you play chess against computers? If so, does the challenge sharpen your game?
Sadly when we think the height of absurdity has been reached it hasn’t. This is insane that schools are allowing this.
Marathon runners don’t compete against contestants on bikes/cars. If you let them start I bet you would see fewer runner entering the sport.
what a cluster f%^$ ......
Honestly they should just do away with with the concept of women’s sports above casual that relies on handouts. Its all just feelgood affirmative action. Same for mens sports that can’t support themselves. If we insist on having a state supported team have one team open to anyone. You make it or you don’t regardless of sex. That should shut up both sides. Commercially viable female only sports like swimsuit volleyball can stay of course.
It’s not confusing at all. Admittedly, I was confused at first, then I saw what to do to figure it out.
Simply insert “fake” for “trans”. So, a trans-male is actually a “fake male” and vice versa.
Once you do that, it clears up in a hurry.
