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.

The original Communist view of Women’s Liberation and Free Love was the development of a “communuity of women,” that was essentially to be the availability of all females for sexual use by Party members. Women were to be free of their slavery each to one man and become a general pool of sex objects for the Party.

Note the phenomenon of men on the road to prison becoming instant transgender women. Note also the increase of rape in women’s prisons.

Lot of Russians and some East European athletes flunked that test.

Hmmm.

He learned to hold back a bit, not rub it in as much.

It’s a guy swimming against women.

True. Who wants these punk fakes in any job? As a little child one’s mother teaches them to be a boy or the girls to be girls. Look between your legs.

The political pressure on the NCAA rules will be fun to watch. I say they will cave and allow the Transgenders to compete because they are gutless cowards and will betray women’s sports on the altar or PC!

A gelding is not the same animal as a mare, and capons don’t lay eggs.

This idiot thinks “she’s” a modern Jackie Robinson.

The only thing the two have in common is that they’re both dudes.
