Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who smashed women's records this year, will be banned from competing against women in international events after the world swimming's governing body announced that it will bar transgender athletes who went through male puberty.
FINA, the international federation sports federation for swimming, announced on Sunday that it is changing its policies so that transgender women can only compete in women's races if they have completed their transition by the age of 12.
They will then have to prove to the federation that they have continuously suppressed their testosterone levels since that time.

All the queers and misfits can go to their own wading pool and play with each other, and the rest of the normal world can get on with life..
I thought he just wanted to take showers with girls.
When I think of ‘open category’, I think of drug enhancement performance and rather than bother to test anyone, just have one free for all category where the athletes can do anything they want. Well, I suppose it fits for the so-called ‘transgender application’ too.....
“Husnain Al-Musallam, president of FINA, announced the news on Sunday”
Perhaps the background of Mr. Al-Musallam has something to do with the fact that ‘the woke’ aren’t able to intimidate him...
I've had that idea myself. Hard to say, one way or the other, but it would be damned good if it was true.
“I thought he just wanted to take showers with girls.”
Certainly not a downside to be able to check out the merchandise before committing to buy it.
If they were that open down there they would fill up with water and drown. Just call the new category fruits.
What do you want to bet that Lia Thomas, now that there is no more notoriety or financial gain to be made, one day in the not too far future, goes back to identifying as a man? It was all a big scam on his part.
It will be hysterical if the best male swimmers in the world elect to also compete in the “open” category. It will prove once and for all that women cannot compete with men in this arena, and that the trans-swimmers cannot win unless they compete against females.
Well, the new ‘class’ in swimming (male/female/OTHER) certainly could be called ‘drag racing’! π
Hahahahahaha
Good, finally!
Well, you have your mens league, you have your womens league, and you have your whatever league.
This is outrageous: One, it's a poison pill FINA intentionally inserted to scrap the whole thing.
Or: You're too young to decide, so Woke Mommy Dearest has scheduled your surgery for next week.
So what if he becomes a lesbian? What then ?
The year I turned 11 was a tough one. I grew from 5 ft 4 in with size 6 shoes to 6 ft 3/8 in with size 10 EE shoes. My parents were frustrated at trying to keep up with clothing that fit. I purchased some used ice skates that were size 9 1/2. Just right at the time to zip across the local water hazard at the golf course. Outside ice is "pebbly". No Zamboni to polish it. The skates are still usable, but a pretty tight fit. They are over 55 years old too.
My sister did swim on the high school varsity team and earned a letter. No silliness in the early 70s.
