Transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas was crushed twice in a women's swim meet by another transgender competitor who is transitioning from female to male - first in the 100-yard freestyle, where she placed fifth, and then again in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
Earlier, at the meet where UPenn competed against Dartmouth and Yale, Thomas won the first of four races by just two seconds - one month after she shattered two women's records with a 38-second margin against her closest competitor. She also narrowly won the 500-yard freestyle by just a second, with bystanders telling DailyMail.com that she seemed to be 'coasting' and 'barely trying'.
But stunned parents at the meet gasped as Yale swimmer, Iszac Henig, easily beat out his opponents in the women's 100-yard freestyle, with a time of 49.57 seconds. Thomas, who finished fifth, finished with a time of 52.84 seconds.

...AND getting their daughters kicked off the swim team, losing their scholarships, and then having to pay the university back for the already-used tuition. It could cost the parents up to $300k. So they keep their mouths shut and do a slow internal burn.
Why is she competing as a female while transitioning to a “male”? Makes no sense.
Nailed it.
In Swimming -YES.
Forget gender name sports! Make it either XX or XY chromosome only sports. Then have a Freaks Open Invitational where chicks with balls or dudes with vaginas fight it out for freak superiority!
And any of this makes sense to you?
Ain’t that a kick in the head...
College sports, in general, are done.
A dude who wants to be a woman dominates women’s swimming. Is he taking estrogen? Now a chick who wants to be a dude enters the fray. In order to become a dude he has to take testosterone treatments. So she starts becoming a man and will end up being bigger, faster and stronger than the other girls.
Of course the geniuses in the NCAA allow all this transfer portal nonsense and paying players.
All of college sports has been or soon will be destroyed.
The Scholar Athlete is no more.
Henig, a 20-year-old from Palo Alto, California, has delayed hormone treatments to finish his career on Yale’s women’s team as he transitions from female to male.
Did I misunderstand that? It seems like she’s not taking testosterone.
need pre race verification of karotype (xx, xy, xxy, xyy, etc) and sex hormone levels, physical exam, evidence for performance enhancing surgery, and blood levels of performance enhancing drugs, and the hematocrit (for blood doping), and for Covid, HIV (can’t spread diseases in the water, y’now), to be allowed to race.
It should be open to all humans whatever gender they(he/she, it) self identify as, on the day of the race.
Then you can have winners from each category or combination of categories.
This whole situation should be the harbinger of an end to competitive sanctioned sports.
I find the left’s defense of trans athletes to be hilarious. Really, I live in a crazy world where people actually think this is right. If I were a scratch golfer, I would put on a wig, stuff a bra, and demand my right as a woman to be allowed to qualify for the LPGA.
Are their nuts removed.
Taking hormone shots and cutting off your shmeckel does not make you a woman.
Are their nuts removed.
No, I don’t think they’re Republicans.
LOL- Shut down the internet.
Does anyone want these people to hide in sham marriages because they're not comfortable "transitioning"?
What....wait.....?
Certainly not downtown.
