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.”

What a cop out answer.

If women can’t vote, then they should have to pay taxes either.

No taxation without representation.

1970 - “The best man for the job is a woman”. 2021- “The best woman for the job is a man”. You’ve come a long way, baby!

Exactly. They have a lot to lose, at least as they see it.

And such is your introduction the the FR Men’s Women Haters Club.

There are a surprising number of them infesting FR.

Just remember, men can do no wrong, all the problems of the world are women’s fault, if men ran the world, it would be a perfect place.

Remember that and you’ll do fine when you encounter one of them. It’s irrelevant what history shows. Facts don’t matter to the emotionally driven.

They should be at home, not working, thus zero income.

If women couldn’t vote, no fag marriage, no Kennedy, no Clinton, no Obama, no Biden.
Women and minority immigrants destroyed the US.

He has not shattered” any school records. The records are kept separate for male and female. He is male and has not shattered any male records. Perhaps this is all to convince women that there is no place for them in sports and by extension maybe in business. Those who decry the patriarchy are making it real.

The Ivy League doesn’t give athletic scholarships - not allowed.


That may be true in a technical sense, but the admissions departments as some of the Ivys have been known to ease athletes past the rigorous admissions standards as well as award “needs based” scholarships. So, in effect, you have athletic scholarships by another name.

Not all the Ivy’s do this, but ask Harvard and Yale thought of Penn Football dominance of the Ivy League back in the 80’s & 90’s. The constantly complained about Penn greasing the skids for football prospects.

Describes every workplace in America. People are afraid of the Gay mafia.

College and high school sports are becoming second or third string male sports. There is not any more women’s sports.

I think “Gay-Stapo” is more appropriate.

It’s a pretty good bet most of the females on the team were all on the homo/transgender bandwagon. Until the reality of their imagined worlds collide. I’m with brownsfan on this. Embrace the suck!

Well, I have run into this before, but appreciate your encouraging words, and must say that I am still (naïve enough to be) stunned when this kind of attitude comes out.

THANKS

This guy cannot win in competition with other men, that is why he is pretending to be a woman. He is a man and obviously stronger than the females he is competeing with.

He is male, but I would contest the claim that he is a man.
