Penn teammate Speaks Out Against Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas

A teammate of Lia Thomas on the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team has spoken out as the transgender swimmer has shattered school records.

SNIP

“Pretty much everyone individually has spoken to our coaches about not liking this. Our coach [Mike Schnur] just really likes winning. He’s like most coaches. I think secretly everyone just knows it’s the wrong thing to do,” the female Penn swimmer said.

“When the whole team is together, we have to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, go Lia, that’s great, you’re amazing.’ It’s very fake.”

They walk, they lose scholarships. It’s a catch 22.

Between our own Stasi and the bulked up “women” swimmers feels more and more like East Germany every day.

If they’re afraid of losing scholarships, they can always sandbag. Their coach likes winning? - how much would he like his team placing first, last and second-to-last in every event?

There would certainly be repercussions and none want to jeopardize an Ivy League diploma. The woke eat the slightest heretics.

Yes, but they don’t have the guts to do it.

only one on the squad has the balls to do it, and he’s in it to win it.

You are correct. I misread the school as Penn State.

Zactly..... A follow up line of questions to this young female, college swimmer, should have asked her how she feels about: climate change, abortion, student loans repayment, immigration, gun control, taxing the rich, criminal justice reform, social justice, equal pay for equal work, the draft, white privilege, the police, the minimum wage, and any other defining issue of the Left.

When she shows herself to be a loud and proud liberal/socialist/AOC-Squad supporting college kid....politely advise her.....This is what you voted for.

But there are tremendous alumni endowments at these Ivy League schools- so athletes get a reduced price or often free ride. My nephew played basketball at Princeton and this was most definitely the case.

I think they should have a third group of all trannies. Let them compete against each other. Girls receiving boy hormones can compete against boys with girl hormones. There should be enough to field a small team, since transitioning is so in vogue.

To shoot down this ludicrosity, ask your favorite tranny advocate why tranny girls who play boy don’t compete in men’s athletics.
