Lia Thomas ( formerly Will Thomas )
A transgender swimmer who competed as a man until November of 2019 recently smashed several women’s swimming records at an Akron, Ohio, meet, winning the 1,650-yard race by 38 seconds over the closest competitor.
Lia Thomas was able to qualify for next year’s NCAA women’s championship with record-smashing times at the Zippy Invitational meet. Thomas would be the first transgender athlete to qualify for a national title in swimming.
Thomas has met all the requirements the NCAA has set for men to compete as women. But the astonishing way Thomas dominated the competition should raise warning flags about the prospect of Thomas competing in the nationals.
On Friday night, Thomas managed to win the 500-yard freestyle in 4:34.06. The result set a new record, Akron pool record, Penn school record and the Ivy League record.
On Saturday she won the 200 free with a pool, meet and program record time of 1:41.93, some 7 seconds clear of second place.
Then, on Sunday, Thomas won the 1,650 freestyle in a record time of 15:59.71. She stormed home to win the race by 38 seconds with Kalandadze paddling her way to the finish with a time of 16:37.44.
The 200 is a sprint. To win the event by seven seconds is incredible. Anyone who knows anything about swimming knows that something is terribly, terribly wrong with that result.
Thomas’s times would be good — if he was competing as a man. But they wouldn’t win many races at the level of competition he was competing in. But competing as a woman, he absolutely blows the competition away.

I hope he wins every race, and breaks every record. I hope he makes the Olympic team. Thats the only thing that will stop this madness.

Dennis Prager was talking about this today and explaining how this story is not covered by any of the national media. Even the local Penn State news sources are not bragging about the new women’s sport record (won by a man)
Disgusting is the word to best describe it.
Where are the feminist protesters?
Easy to solve, but the women have to do it. No one can help them on this one.

You just need a chromosome rule. Contestants can self-identify and dress as they wish. But XX competes with XX, and XY competes with XY.
(I am aware that a very small percentage of individuals are neither XX nor XY. Let those folks choose.)
I wonder if Michael Phelps still has any years of college eligibility left - maybe he can come back, identify as a woman and begin a record-setting reign over women’s swimming. #CouldHappen
how about men race men and women race women
Has he had the Chopadickoffame operation? Either way, he’s a guy!
Dennis Rodman might come out of retirement for that.
This will end women’s sports if allowed to continue.
Indeed. Female athletes better get used to this. Or stop it right now.
That’s the solution. Period.
Left’s war on women. I have granddaughter who is a top shelf athlete. These freaks are stealing all the joy out of female sports.
The left is a disgusting monster that cheapens and destroys everything it touches.
I don’t know anything about swimming and barely follow or even acknowledge any sports. Even I know that breaking any record by that much is terribly wrong.
Every record HE/SHE sets will have an asterisk next to it.
I think ALL sports should be unisex. Men, women, trans, eunuchs, bi’s, all, can compete in the same event. That seems most fair. So if weightlifting Ilsa beats weightlifting Igor, it’s all good.
Total equality. That’s what feminists have demanded forever. No gender related issues whatsoever.
I think Phelps has 4 years of college eligibility. He swam for Baltimore Aquatic Club as a kid and then moved to Wolverine Aquatic Club when his age group coach became head coach at the University of Michigan. I’m pretty sure Phelps didn’t go to college.
Wow. That is really instructive. Good info.
Someone will break. The feminists or the trannies.
