‘Her Rankings … Have Bounced From #462 As A Male To #1 As A Female’: 16 Lia Thomas Teammates Sign Letter Asking Penn Not To Sue NCAA, Bar Thomas From Competing
Daily Wire ^ | February 4, 2022 | Hank Berrien

Posted on 02/05/2022 8:35:02 AM PST by lowbridge

On Thursday, 16 members of the Penn Women’s Swimming Team sent a letter to the University of Pennsylvania and the Ivy League asking them to refrain from suing the NCAA over its new Athlete Inclusion Policies that would bar Lia Thomas, formerly known as Will Thomas, from participating in the NCAA championships in March. They stated, “We have been told that if we spoke out against her inclusion into women’s competitions, that we would be removed from the team or that we would never get a job offer.”

“The group, organized by three-time Olympic gold medalist Nancy Hogshead-Makar, sent the letter early Thursday morning asking UPenn and the Ivy League to support us as biological women’ and not engage the NCAA in legal action in an effort to challenge the new protocols,” Swim Swam reported, adding, “Hogshead-Makar says that the swimmers wrote the letter themselves, though both Hogshead-Makar, an organized group of parents, and other athletes, made edits before arriving at the final draft.”

In the letter, the swimmers note, “Biologically, Lia holds an unfair advantage over competition in the women’s category, as evidenced by her rankings that have bounced from #462 as a male to #1 as a female. If she (Thomas) were to be eligible to compete against us, she could now break Penn, Ivy, and NCAA Women’s Swimming records; feats she could never have done as a male athlete.”

They continue:

Most important to us is that Lia’s inclusion with unfair biological advantages means that we have lost competitive opportunities. Some of us have lost records. But even those that swim different events than Lia or were not in contention to make the Ivy Championships, we stand by our teammates who have lost out.

Exhibit number one for how far we have sunk as a nation:

“We have been told that if we spoke out against her (its) inclusion into women’s competitions, that we would be removed from the team or that we would never get a job offer.”

The near 500th worst male athlete is better than the best female athlete.

But...but...Men and women are totally equal.

Tolerating threats of retaliation only increases the likelihood of more of it.

Take a stand or be prepared to get run over.

Journalism school is supposed to teach how to write concisely, and give the who-what-when-where-why.

From the very beginning, I can’t tell if they are buckling, or standing strong.

The man should not be allowed to compete against women, that is a clear line. This is not brain surgery, so write the rule to have DNA testing on all participants in women only sports at the College level. Disallow males no matter if they pretend to be females or not.

I’m beginning to believe (or maybe just hope) this guy is trolling the system. In interviews he still has a low voice (despite claiming he is on hormone replacement therapy) and has a constant smirk on his face - duper’s delight.

He still has his equipment and apparently gets aroused in the women’s locker room.... like a normal het male would.

I am hoping after he graduates he’ll say ‘psych’ and reveal this whole trans sports insanity for what it is.

“ On Thursday, 16 members of the Penn Women’s Swimming Team sent a letter to the University of Pennsylvania and the Ivy League asking them to refrain from suing the NCAA over its new Athlete Inclusion Policies ”

How many members on the swim team? I am quite tempted to throw them over. If the girls are ok with relegating themselves to being perpetual losers with no identity other than what is claimed by another then who am I to complain? They want trannys in the locker room, let them have them. Likewise, when there is trouble, remember we told you so.

No pressure there. Bullies have taken over the playground and are demanding everybody’s compliance, or there will be “consequences”, none of which seem to be at all pleasant.

If a male walked in off the street to a women’s bathroom and exposed himself, he’d be arrested and rightfully so, but because the maggot male mental patient exposes himself to women, the left call it a right. That’s how spiritually sick our society is becoming.

Exactly.

With these 16 babies, ethics, honesty, decency towards their associates...all rate well below their personal needs.

16 of college age with no ethical foundation.

"We fully support Lia Thomas in her decision to affirm her gender identity and to transition from a man to a woman. Lia has every right to live her life authentically."

And this is where the ladies lost me. Stupidity and hypocrisy will not solve what is before them. The mentally ill and the "sex-change" industry, which projects profit margins that exceed the film and television net revenues will push back hard. Ladies may win this battle, but will be temporary unless you shut down this madness completely.

By accepting "transitioning" means you accept all of the kit and caboodle, including the emotional as well as mental aspects. Simple put, you must accommodate and pretend to really think the creature is the "gender" or else feel the wrath of the woke fascists. A proper response would be this person will always be a male and never a woman, period. You can't have it both ways in this brave new world/obscene profit margins off of the mentally ill, sorry ladies. Stand up to truth COMPLETELY, not appeasing psychosis.

It's not easy being Jackie Robinson. Or Curt Flood. You can blame these people for not jumping up and down in protest, but each one of them had to make a personal decision to sign the letter.

It is a lot easier to just say nothing. This might not be the strongest protest they can make, but each one had to make a personal decision to sign the letter.
