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.

What a dummy.
Honestly, I would be ashamed of myself if, to compete, I had to change my gender.

He didn't defeat his competition.

His competition is over in the men's pool.

There is a reason they have women’s sports. Wait until some above avg Basketball player puts a wig on and scores 100 per game.

I can imagine a lot of mental anguish for competitors and their parents. The Time. The Money. The Pain. All for naught when a selfish jerk decides he wants to take over your sport.

Show this to your daughters when the ask to join a sports team, or an AP class, or apply to a technical college.

It’ll keep them in the kitchen where they belong and keep them from thinking they can do a man’s job.

That’s what you wanted, right lefties? You got it!

“Her”, my ass. We need an auto-correct feature to fix these language abuses.

Any girl or parents who feel that way are bigots.

There. Argument made and won. See how easy it is to be a commie?

The disease of social media led to this....brakes are off now. Pure insanity, nothing less. How can he look at himself in the mirror? And we’re supposed to cheer this on.

I have a son who was an NCAA distance runner; I’m glad honestly that his younger sister isn’t headed down that same path of college athletes (but she’s a good high school runner). It would be such agony to miss out on college recruiting etc because boys started winning all the girls’ track and cross country high school state championships etc. it is a lot of hard work and effort for those girls.

Once upon a time, the real men on campus would have taken this guy down a dark alley and given him a "talkin' to" he'd never forget. He needs an "education".

Article contains an inaccuracy: The deviant isn’t a “she”. Even if it lops its Richard off and has fake boobs inserted into its chest, it’s still a male.

Yeah, completely forgot about the scholarship aspect of this.

I don’t know jack about swimming but watching that clip it seems just his size makes a huge difference as he is powering through the water.

He “lost” to a female who thinks she’s a male, but still competes in swimming as a woman. It was an under the table deal to let her beat him and gain media coverage. Trannies unite!
