Women's sports are again under attack. Decades ago, it was due to tradition and patriarchy, with funding and attention lavished primarily on men’s sports. Title IX came in 1972, leveling the playing field. At the time, there were just over 300,000 women and girls participating in high school and college sports. Female athletes only received 2 percent of college athletic budgets and few if any women received athletic scholarships.
Forty years later in 2012, great progress was made with 3 million girls participating in high school sports and 190,000 in college sports, a sixfold increase since 1972. But instead of continued progress, our new woke culture is turning back the clock on women’s sports, all in the name of equity, tolerance, and diversity, setting female athletes back decades.
Along with news of the latest coronavirus variant and new life-crushing mandates, was a story in the Daily Mail that garnered little attention from the U.S. corporate media or women’s rights groups.
The headline, “UPenn trans swimmer, 22, sparks outrage by smashing women’s competition records after competing as a man for three seasons.”
Will Thomas, now 22, swam for the University of Pennsylvania men’s swim team for three years before taking a year off due to the COVID pandemic, with his last event competing as a man in November 2019. At some point thereafter, Will began transitioning from Will to Lia. Per NCAA rules, any trans female athlete can take part in women’s events if they have completed a year of testosterone suppression treatment.

These times were so fast that, “Thomas would have been in line to secure a silver medal at the NCAA Women's Championships, while her 4:35:06 in the 500m freestyle would have been good enough to win bronze.”

Does he still have his rudder?
“I wonder what a true woman’s sport would look like.”
Ironing and running a vacuum cleaner.
It’s about destroying America. The lefties say they support gays, but support radical Muslims. They say they support blacks, while turning cities into genocide machines. They say they support children, while creating schools that turn them into unproductive members of society.
The common factor is destroying American strength.
You are 100% correct in what you said.
The ‘women’ swimmer is still a guy!! The rule of women’s sports should be this: If you can give birth and was born with a womb, you can play women’s sports. If you are mentally ill, you can’t!
One daily an alien race is going to land on earth, look around, do a facepalm and depart, not finding any intelligent life forms to write home about.
Yes. He uses it for the pole vault!
Cheerleading
Feminists can’t figure out how to counter this because they spent years telling us that there’s no difference between boys and girls; all differences were due to arbitrary societal pressures to conform to gender specific roles established by the patriarchy.
“ At some point thereafter, Will began transitioning from Will to Lia.”
They say that like it is normal, and legitimate. Why did his dad not whip his butt daily for this ignorance. Who accepts this idiocy as OK?
All sports should be made non-binary. Women should be free to try out for men’s sports such as football, baseball and basketball. Men should be free to compete is any women’s sport they choose. Isn’t this much more fair?
Google Dora “Ratjen, 1936 Olympics”. Men passing off as women is not new.

How many actually are females who participate in sports?
Where a lot of men participate in sports without scholarships, it is much less common with women - so the bounds of participants have some rather hard edges.
Seriously? I don't know ANY women who think this.
Yet, the women competitors still participate in this rigged contest.
This could be put to rest quickly if when the gun goes off, the real women competitors stand up and exit the arena.
Will to Lia
As in Lia[r]
just wait
