Guinness Vacates Lia Thomas’ World Records: “It’s The Right Thing To Do”
billbordi.com ^ | 4 October 2023 | Staff

Posted on 10/06/2023 12:17:59 PM PDT by Red Badger

In a shocking turn of events, the Editor in Chief of Guinness World Records, Joe Barron, announced today that the organization would be vacating all records held by Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who made waves in the world of sports. The decision comes after months of debate and controversy surrounding Thomas’ eligibility to compete in women’s swimming competitions.

Barron explained, “While we understand the importance of inclusivity in sports, we also recognize the need to maintain the integrity of our records. After careful consideration and consultation with experts, we have decided to vacate all records held by Lia Thomas to ensure a level playing field for all athletes.”

The decision sent shockwaves through the sports world, sparking heated debates on social media and in the mainstream media.

Supporters of Thomas argued that her achievements should be recognized, while others expressed concerns about the fairness of her participation.

As the news spread, athletes from various backgrounds weighed in on the decision. Some applauded Guinness World Records for taking a stand, while others criticized the move as discriminatory. The controversy only seemed to intensify, with no end in sight to the ongoing debate.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Joe Barron held a press conference the following day to reveal that the entire announcement had been an elaborate prank. “We wanted to remind everyone not to take things too seriously, especially in the world of sports,” Barron said with a grin.

“Silly taters” he exclaimed, bringing a collective sigh of relief to the sports community. God Bless America.

“Shocking”?

No, it makes perfect sense.

The records should never have gone on the books in the first place.

Guinness should just list Thomas as the world’s biggest fraud.

There are no achievements. There are 13-14 year old boy age group swimmers that can kick Thomas’ ass. He sucks as a swimmer. It’s pathetic that he thinks he can become a woman and not still suck at swimming. Thomas should be locked up so he never harms himself or anyone else. There is no place in society for these Godless freaks.

Start a page of records for chicks with dicks. Just because he was the first to cheat he won’t be the last. Unless we stomp out the flames of perversion.

So, they vacated them, and then they reinstated them? Is that what Guinness is saying?

Simple explanation. There are two sexes. There are lots of genders. Physical sports are divided by sex. You can identify as the female gender, but if you are the male sex, you are not allowed in “female only” sports.

It’s not really that complicated.

It’s a necessary function to help keep track of low IQ ideas like what William Thomas did in thinking his name was “Lia.”
