Iszac Henig, a transgender male, joined Yale’s men’s swimming team after finishing last year as an All-American female swimmer.

Henig has taken hormones for eight months amid his transition, but the senior’s times are “about the same as they were at the end of last season,” he wrote in an op-ed piece for the New York Times on Thursday.

Henig wrote that during a meet in November among 83 swimmers, he finished in 79th place.

“I wasn’t the slowest guy in any of my events, but I’m not as successful in the sport as I was on the women’s team,” Henig wrote. The four people to finish behind Henig, according to OutKick, were a swimmer born without a left arm and three others who specialize in the breaststroke.

She is allowed to compete with men, for now. She just has to be resigned to coming in last or near last all the time.

Behind every good man is a woman trying to keep up.

It’s certainly easy to look at your lap times when swimming on the woman’s team and compare them to lap times from the men’s team. Unless you supplement your hormone treatments with a whole lot of additional practice, there’s no reason to think the times will magically change. Even if you do supplement them with a whole lot of additional practice, there’s still no reason to think they will become equal. You’re a woman who takes male hormones, you’re not a man.

He should only be able to compete against fellow fags in the Queen category. All participants in the Queen league get a crown and are special. /s

Just goes to show that even self-entitled, self-absorbed sexual freaks must prove themselves in competitive sports. Some do this by making the sport uncompetitive, like a man crushing women competitors by openly pretending to be a woman ... and getting away with it.

The New York Post has bowed down to the Trans Masters and adopted their ways of speaking. It calls this man “he” and a “trans male”.
No one is trans anything. “Trans male” = female.
