Dude is still a male, only competing against females.

Where are the feminists on this issue?

Yeah, but you voted for the RATs didn’t you, hon? You made your bed. Now sleep in it.

As usual liberals are surprised when they get their way and it turns out to be a disaster. Never mind that anyone with half a brain could predict it.

Note the way the writer uses “[Lia]” when reporting the comment from Lia’s teammate, which I assume is the way that writer avoids the pronoun trap associated with this business.

NOT a female. “X” and a “Y” is a guy!

This month, as I covered, Thomas was “crushed” in two races by a biological female competing on the men’s swim team at Yale University.

Just as I thought, there was more to this story than first appeared. Why were women competing on the men's team? Turnabout is fair play, is it not?

My life is complete: Peter Dinklage (The really “short” guy from “Game of Thrones”) just called out Disney for casting dwarves as the dwarves in “Snow White and the 7 Dwarves”... Their simulacrum is breaking apart.

I could not be happier with what these idiots have wrought on themselves.

But he’s competitive as a delusional medically mutilated lunatic in drag.

I noticed that too.

I wonder if the anonymous swimmer quoted used he or she?

“Everyone would be all over it. But because it’s women, they don’t care...”

WRONG. It’s because of FEMINISM that we don’t care. Reap what you sow, ladies.

I’d bet she used “she” - that’s the fashion among the educated these days.

But the writer for the article handled the entire situation in a manner I considered just about perfect: she used the swimmer’s new name, Lia, when necessary, which I’m fine with - Johnny Cash settled that issue with me with “A Boy Named Sue”. But she *never* used a pronoun for the XY swimmer in the entire article, always using a proper noun or descriptive noun when needed.

We don't even have to make a moral argument against this nonsense.

We can just agree with Camille Paglia, a married lesbian literature professor, who made the observation that a civilization that exhibits this much decadence is on the verge of collapse.

“Just as I thought, there was more to this story than first appeared. Why were women competing on the men’s team? Turnabout is fair play, is it not?”

The fake female was around first.
IIRC the female in question is undergoing “transition” (taking testosterone with estrogen and progesterone blockers) but still competing as a woman this year.
IIRC she started her meds late so is competing as a female this year.

There was talk when it occurred that the FAKE female and the FAKE male colluded so the actual female won her two races against the fake female.
It seems said fake female LET the roided up female run away with the races and it was pretty obvious by his lack of effort during the race.
