Did so-called ‘transgender’ swimmers conspire to throw a race?
American Thinker ^ | 01/21/2022 | Andrea Widburg

On January 8, a so-called ‘transgender woman’ swimmer calling himself Lia Thomas (real name: Will Thomas), after sweeping NCAA races in December, lost to a woman who claims to be a man but still swam as a woman. I wrote then that Thomas’s race looked like a set-up intended to prove that, just because men claim to be women, that doesn’t mean they have a competitive advantage. Now, one of the real women who swam at that meet has come forward alleging that the fake man and fake woman did indeed collude before the race.

You can read my January 9 post here. The short quick version is that, after Thomas swept his races in December, coming in so far ahead of the actual women that they weren’t even swimming the same race, he suffered a bizarre reversal in January.

At that race, he lost to a woman named Iszac Henig, who claims she’s actually a man, although she hasn’t yet started testosterone. Notably, even her best times were far slower than some of the world’s best real woman swimmers.

I said that the whole thing reminded me of 2020 when New Zealand sent a man named Gavin Hubbard to the Olympics to compete in weightlifting as a woman named Laurel Hubbard. People were outraged because of his lifelong testosterone advantage.

However, once at the Olympics, Hubbard failed completely. My theory then was that he intentionally threw the competition to advance the false narrative that men who pretend to be women are exactly like women when it comes to physical competition.

All women’s athletics that involve speed and strength have been mucked up by this.

Nothing will be as it was until biological men are banned from women’s competition.

Otherwise, it’s nothing but a joke - which university or country’s trannies can outrun, out-bike, out swim or out lift any other university or country’s trannies.

Of course the two “transgenders” colluded to make this outcome.

There has not been, and never shall be, a transformation of one gender entirely into the other. Transformation is only from male to neuter, or female to neuter. And if done to that level, an automatic cut-out from the gene pool. If the “transformation” is only to the dress and mannerisms of the other gender, it is not “transgender” at all, but transvestite, so long as no surgery of the genitals or no hormone treatments have been employed.

History abounds with those who have tried desperately to assume the characteristics of the other gender, but mostly, they have been largely failed human beings, never rising to their full potential.

Perhaps, to assuage the egos of these “wannabes”, two more categories could be carved out under the terms of Title IX “equality” provisions, “transmale” and “transfemale”, then they could compete in their own categories. But that is only pandering, and serves no purpose beyond personal bragging rights.

All the women in an event should withdraw the moment a transgender enters an event, all of them, let the transgenders race themselves.

With no morals or standards what did the organizers expect? Morals and standards?

Agree - it would solve the problem immediately

Alien archeologists visiting this planet thousands of years from now will look in amazement at how so many of our contemporaries lived lives of delusion, totally unwilling to accept the reality that one’s sex is unchangeable.

Perhaps that will lead them to an understanding of how our civilization crumbled and vanished from the face of the Earth.

WGAF. I find this whole fiasco to be comical. We are watching the delusional narrative of modern feminism destroyed right before our eyes.

As distasteful as it is, we must cull the herd of trannys. They will ruin society if we continue to pretend they’re part of some “new normal”.

Forget about adding two gender categories under Title IX “equality” standards. Title IX only makes sense if one category is ELIMINATED — and the women compete against the men.

If women are truly equal to men in all respects, they can start beating them in athletic competitions.

When you introduce mental illness into an organization and just slap a “normal” label on it, expect things to get crazy.

I saw a pic of the Penn. swimmer and it has enormous shoulders, far bigger than a woman's.

The NZ weightlifting guy who lost was competing against almost certainly chemically enhanced Chinese women. They dominate women’s weightlifting.

Possibly, but I think Hubbard was just a pansyput a real man claiming to be a woman in there, a champion lifter, and it’ll be no contest, and everyone knows it. There are so many men who ,if who put women lifters to shame, and if they all suddenly desired to compete as women, the actual women will never win again.
