UPenn considering suit if Lia Thomas is barred from women’s swimming championship
New York Post ^ | Jan 29 | By Conor Skelding

The University of Pennsylvania is considering a lawsuit if Lia Thomas is barred from competing in the upcoming NCAA women’s swimming championship, according to a report.

A swimmer on the Penn women’s team, speaking on the condition of anonymity, claimed to Fox News that administrators were considering legal action if Thomas is prohibited from participating in the championship.

“I have a feeling that if USA Swimming changes their rules, they will be filing a lawsuit for Lia to swim, but they wouldn’t do that for us,” she said. “That’s just really upsetting.”

The swimmer said she had “heard that from some of the administrators.”

A rep for Penn didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

Is this one of the men pretending to be a woman swimmer?

“I have a feeling that if USA Swimming changes their rules ... '

What rule change?! The NCAA has always -- and still does -- only allow women to compete against other women in competition. Until this UPenn debacle, freaks were never a consideration.

Interesting that UPenn is considering a lawsuit that would destroy womens sports. (Goes to show that feminists care as much about women as communists care about workers ... or, for that matter, as much as school boards and many, many teachers care about kids.)

Based on complaints from real female swimmers he shows his “junk” as they say in the locker room.

My simple solution is to be a legitimate female athlete , males have to have their genitalia removeed. They need “skin in the game”.

The girls on this team should resign. I know some of them are probably on scholarships, but this is so unfair and mysogynistic something must be done to stop this anti-woman juggernaut.

This is why I don't pay attention to this story. Lia Thomas is what the University wants, and I simply don't care what they want.

Ivy League school thinks of suing NCAA to let a man swim vs. women at a woman’s meet.

Two morally bankrupt institutions having a spat over whether Ivy League women are second class citizens to a mentally disturbed/confused, Ivy League man.

And a morally banrupted government with a morally bankrupt justice system would make the call..

Noah didn’t have this mess to deal with, did he?

Let them sue. We “normies” will win this war if we stick to it. The only support I would offer to trannys would be some mental health therapy. They crazy.

I have two questions for those who support Lia Thomas‘s “right” to compete as a woman:

1. Should there be separate men and women’s college sports?
2. If so, why?

I’m sure that even most of Lia Thomas‘s supporters would say “yes” to the first question. And physical differences would be cited in response to the second question.

And there you have it. Simple logic that Lia Thomas must compete as a man.

UPenn is discriminating against their own female students. If their Alums had any cajones, they would pull their funding.

That’s a nice thought.
But usually we lose even when we win.
