Ex-Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner says trans UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas should NOT compete against biological women
Daily Mail UK ^ | 01/19/2022 | James Gordon

Caitlyn Jenner has called on the National Collegiate Athletic Association to immediately stop transgender athletes like UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas from competing against their biological counterparts. Jenner said there was no doubt that the rules need to be changed just as the NCAA Board of Governors were meeting to review rules on transgender athletes. "All of this woke world that we are living in right now is not working", said Jenner. "I feel sorry for the other athletes that are out there, especially at Penn or anybody she's competing against, because in the woke world, you've got to say, 'Oh, my gosh, this is great,' No, it's not."

"It's unfortunate that this is happening. I don't know why she's doing it. She knows that when she's swimming, she's beating the competition by two laps," Jenner said. "She was born a biological boy, she was raised a biological boy. Her cardiovascular system is bigger. Her respiratory system is bigger. Her hands are bigger. She can swim faster. That's a known. Jenner said that she believed with transitioning comes a certain responsibility.

'First of all, I respect her decision to live her life authentically, 100%, but that also comes with responsibility and some integrity. I don't know why she's doing this. One, it's not good for the trans community. I mean, we have a lot of issues in the trans community that are very difficult and very challenging. We have a suicide rate that's nine times higher than the general public. But it's also not good for women's sports."

Jenner added that the topic has been around for decades. "Maybe the rules need to be a lot stricter on a subject like this. The International Olympic Committee has been looking at this issue for a long time. Back when I was competing, we had the East German women, we had the Soviet women. I mean, when I did my last lifting workout at the Olympics, there was an East German discus thrower and this girl was so much stronger than I was, we were all wondering if it was down to male hormones."

I know this topic has been beat into the ground, but it needs to be buried into it once and for all.

At least Bruce competed as a man.

This boy (HE is not a girl) isn’t liked by any of his fellow swimmers and they are upset saying he is arrogant, and that their coach is just obsessed with winning. IMO he’s not even serious about the trans thing, just setting records and being the first to break the “trans-ceiling”.

No, Bruce. You dont get an opinion on sexuality issues, just like you cant claim your Olympic hero status unless you are a man. Your obfuscation has rendered you moot.

And as sick as what he has done to himself is I give him credit for being honest in this upside down, woke society that will rail him for this.

I think Bruce sees the writing on the wall. This stuff can’t continue without destroying girl’s/women’s sports, and his own position on transgenderism. It could take the whole thing down and expose it for the mental illness it is.

“It’s unfortunate that this is happening. I don’t know why she’s doing it.”

Because like all leftists, he/she has zero integrity, zero empathy and an infinite ego

“No, Bruce. You dont get an opinion”

Respectfully, I believe his opinion is greatly important because as one of “them” he is opposing them and raising the red flag. The difference is they cannot call him a homo-phobe!!!

Yep. I think that beyond his position on gender, he’s actually politically fairly conservative. He seems to be in the “leave me to be who I am” category rather than, “you are required to accept me for who I am” category. That is actually the American way.

I am glad Jenner is taking this stand. However, t is illogical. Is this swimmer male or female. If Jenner accepts it as a woman, then he should support it as competing as a woman.
Maybe this is proof that Jenner is female: not good with the logic thing.

Even Bruce feels guilty about fellow men beating women in women’s sports.

Her cardiovascular system is bigger. Her respiratory system is bigger. Her hands are bigger.
