Kentucky Swimmer Joins Coaches Call for a ‘Trans Division’ After Tie with Lia Thomas
Breitbart ^ | 20 May 2022 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Posted on 05/21/2022 8:31:18 AM PDT by Hojczyk

University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines applauded the World Swimming Coaches Association’s (WSCA) call to create a separate division for transgender athletes in an interview with Fox News on Friday.

Gaines tied for fifth place in the 200-yard freestyle NCAA swimming championships with Lia Thomas, a biological male competing in women’s sports.

Gaines said there is a “night and day difference between male and female” athletes.

“Obviously in a sport like swimming, where it is based on your individual performance, and it requires things like your power and your stamina and your strength and endurance, all these things that women are just typically disadvantaged at over men,” she continued.

Gaines said that to pretend the biological differences do not exist “defies logic, reason, science and common sense,”

She also talked about communicating with Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R) about the transgender athlete issue. Gaines said she intends to introduce and fight for legislation amending Title IX to protect women’s sports, which she would name “Title XX,” after the two female chromosomes.

how about no divisions at all ...

everyone competes and the best one wins ...

males, females, trannies, and all of the other 57 genders ...

let's see who gets the trophies ...

That is BRILLIANT. Look at Blackburn thinking out of the box.

Be sure this bill includes the establishment of Detransition Centers in every school and university.

It would be better to give them their own island.

call to create a separate division for transgender athletes

The problem with a new division is that it will basically have the same situation -- just 'trans' though.

M2F competing against F2M raises the same arguments as M competing against F2M and F competing against M2F.

[That last sentence made me dizzy and I nearly fell out of my chair.]

I’ve got no problem with a mixed division competition.

But isn’t there already a division for them? It’s called “men’s division.”

Because will you ever see a biological “trans” woman competing against biological men?

Hmm.

If you're a mediocre male athlete who struggles against your fellow biological males, just self-identify as female and dominate the competition!

Gaines tied for fifth place in the 200-yard freestyle NCAA swimming championships with Lia Thomas...


Does this mean Thomas got beat by four women?

Impossible as that would be admitting that these guys aren’t chicks.

Scary when it's radical to state the obvious...

Shows how insane our WOKE culture is - and how silly we are for going along with their delusions.

Exactly, they will never create a separate division. Can you imagine the small freak show that would be in the stands.

NCAA? Unfortunately, I believe they're already inside Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Diving, Rowing, Bowling, Fencing, Gymnastics, Soccer.

Case in point -- a trans man "Iszack" Henig beat Will "Lia" Thomas in the 100-meter. She had taken testosterone but went off to stay on the Yale women's swim team. After she beat Will, apparently she pulled down her swimsuit to reveal her mutilation.

"Henig did have his breasts removed and revealed his chest after pulling down the top of his swimsuit following one of his victories - stunning already shell-shocked UPenn parents attending their kids' final home meet of what has been a tumultuous season.

'I wasn't prepared for that. Everything is messed up. I can't wrap my head around this. The NCAA needs to do something about this. They need to put science into the decision and discussion,' a UPenn parent, who wanted to remain anonymous, told DailyMail.com."

So yeah, we've reached the tipping point where the mushy middle is ready for US to punch down on trans ruining collegiate sports.

Wow. This is really unbelievable.

Did you happen to see the clip of Bill Maher going off on the uptick in trans? It’s right on.

Here: 9 minutes worth listening.
