Transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas wins the 100m AND 200m freestyle races against Harvard days after USA Swimming said it would release 'new policy' on whether 'elite trans athletes' will still be able to compete against biological women

Transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, 22, was back in the pool on Saturday where she continued to beat fellow swimmers, leaving them in her wake.

Competing during an NCAA college swimming meet with Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts, Thomas won the Women's 100m and Women's 200m Freestyle races, although the margin's were far narrower than in previous races she won in 2021.

Thomas won her 100m race in 50.55 seconds with her closest competitor coming in at 51.51.

Thomas' controversial wins saw the NCAA review its guidelines for male-to-female trans athletes on Wednesday, but the body ultimately washed its hands of the swirling row surrounding transgender athletes in college athletics.

Under the new guidelines, approved by the NCAA Board of Governors, transgender participation for each sport will be determined by the policy for each sport's national governing body.

NCAA rules on transgender athletes returned to the forefront when Thomas started smashing records late last year.

Liberalism has always been anti-woman.

Now I can really feel it: A league JUST for male-to-female trannies. Pumped on estrogen AND steroids, and they’re going to win at ANY COST. They’ll start attacking the referees and members of the audience, not to mention each other. (And maybe, if we’re lucky, some of those cameramen.)

Think of the REAL girls who have competed all through high school for a college scholarship, who are going to be passed up because the recruiting coach wants to field a ringer. Our daughter was a collegiate scholarship tennis player, worked and sacrificed for years and years and made it, but now she may have very well been passed up by a fake.

Good. Rewrite all of the women’s records. They obviously aren’t willing, as a group, to stand up to this nonsense.

attacking

Enjoyed Ben Shapiro sparring with this Transgender Army guy about Bruce Jenner, referring to Jenner Ben stated “he” a number of times and the trans guy puts his arm around Shapiro and says “you keep talking like that and you will go home in an ambulance.”

Ben said, that's not very lady like.

The reason why liberalism is anti-women is because liberals are in competition with them for the men. By effectively removing from society, it gives more access to the men for liberals.

Basically the same as to why Muslims want women to disappear.

Both are conduits to homosexuality.

Yeah, all joking aside, I’m really starting to doubt that a lot of these guys want to be women.

I remember the days when XX chromosome athletes that tested XY positive were banned from competing in the Olympics.
