Over the weekend, a female swimmer on the University of Pennsylvania’s swim team said in an interview that “women are now third-class citizens” and their “rights are being taken away.” Her remarks came after UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas, who is a biological male competing on the women’s swim team, competed against biological females and won two races on Saturday.
In an interview with The Washington Examiner, the unnamed swimmer said that Thomas won the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle races against Harvard University. This is Thomas’ first year competing on the women’s team. Thomas competed on the men’s team for three years.
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. Shortly after, an unnamed female swimmer for UPenn gave an interview with the Examiner where she claimed Thomas “compares herself to Jackie Robinson” and “mocks” competing on the women’s swim team. As I reported, Thomas broke records at a race in Ohio where the runner-up in the 1,650-yard freestyle finished 38 seconds behind Thomas.

For years, liberals, Democrats, and leftists have routinely claimed that patriarchy in the United States exists and makes women second-class citizens. Female athletes have echoed these claims, bemoaning significant inequalities between men's and women’s athletics,” the Examiner reported Sunday. “Now, with athletes who have the genetics of a man being permitted to take away athletic opportunities from women, females have been relegated to an even lower position.”
“Women are now third-class citizens,” the unnamed UPenn swimmer told the Examiner.
“Lia was not even close to being competitive as a man in the 50 and the 100 (freestyle events),” the swimmer added. “But just because Lia is biologically a man, [Lia] is just naturally better than many females in the 50 and the 100 or anything that [Lia] wasn’t good at as a man.”
The swimmer continued, telling the Examiner that the higher-ups at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are “not protecting women’s rights.”
“Imagine if there was this kind of inequality in men’s sports. Or someone found out about doping in a men’s sport. It would be fixed in a blink of an eye. Everyone would be all over it. But because it’s women, they don’t care,” she said in the interview.
"People have come up to me and said, 'This is so wrong,'" and "'I am typically liberal, but this is past that.'"
“I’m trying to do everything I can without harming my future,” the swimmer concluded. “I can’t just sit back and let something like this happen. I’m not just going to sit back and say, ‘My rights are being taken away, too bad.’ It’s embarrassing that people aren’t speaking out more.”
Female UPenn Swimmer: Lia Thomas ‘Was Not Even Close’ to Being Competitive as a Male.
Headline is BS..
“IT” is not a female.
“IT” is a psychologically retard with gender dysphoria and a sub human type species that should be locked up just like all of these “things”.
F the whole LGBQT crap and their gender identity subset. They are all nothing but freaks of nature and anyone who supports this BS is just as bad.
“I am typically liberal, but this is past that.”
Reminds me of a quote I heard many years ago:
“A liberal is a conservative that hasn’t been mugged yet.”
Finally someone recognizes that he was never competitive. I have written multiple times that he would be beaten by the top 13-14 year old boys in the country. He is pathetic as a swimmer and he is eff’d in the head. He belongs in a mental institution.
Not a Female....Why does the writer say that?
The “Female U. Penn Swimmer” referred to in the title is the actual female teammate of this Lia Thomas character.
Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you.
Or not.
The evidence is the two trannies colluded with each other to make the biological male lose the contest.
Both are cheaters. Both should be permanently “canceled” in human society.
From the pictures of “Lia” it would appear that he is not parts missing and has not yet had breast implants. So does “she” share a locker room with real females?
Wait, what? Is there a "not" missing in there?
That is, the usual complaint is that an "X" actor should be cast for the part of an "X" character, e.g. black character should be played by a black actor. White actor playing a black character gets called out.
So by that rationale, a dwarf character SHOULD be played by a dwarf actor.
What is Dinklage complaining about?
You get the delicious cosmic irony. There is a “God has the greatest sense of humor” thing to this.
I could not be happier with what these idiots have wrought on themselves.
Let the little people burn... LOL... Be it mental or physical, mental midgetry has gotten us here.
I used to work with a guy, who was big into long distance running. He was close to 60 years old then (a while ago, I lost him like 20 years ago).
Decent runner, but far from the top.
When he ran marathons, he was always excited competing with the best females (”I passed her, then she passed me,...”)! He generally beat them!
Now, he could switch gender and make some money!
That's because those fags don't care about anybody's rights. They're just seeking accolades for being politically correct.
Well, no. They're actually first-class citizens. Women can now compete directly against men, which should not be a problem if they are equal to men.
Segregated sporting events for men and women is what made women second-class citizens in the collegiate sports world, not some kind of silly crap about "patriarchy in the United States."
Leftist women INVITED this nightmare, let them clean it up. If they won’t, then they don’t deserve to have special privileges in sports.
He’s no more a female than the idiot that gets his whole body tattooed with snake scales, teeth sharpened, and wears eye contact to pretend to have slitted pupils is a lizard.
Everyone that plays submissive to that sickness in praising the practice or playing along with the pronoun game is contributing to mental illness.
