An Ivy League women’s All-American swimmer went from pool shark to scrub after identifying as male and joining the men’s team, the opposite of the switch made by Lia Thomas.
Iszac Henig, a senior on the Yale men’s swim team, placed 79th out of 83 at a men’s meet in November after earning All-American plaudits as a junior on the school’s women’s team. But in an op-ed column Henig wrote for the New York Times this week, the 22-year-old athlete, whose breasts were removed, says living as a man makes it all worthwhile.
“I Chose to Compete as My True, Trans Self. I Win Less, but I Live More,” read the headline of Henig’s New York Times article.
In the article, Henig shrugs off the fall from dominance.
“I wasn’t the slowest guy in any of my events, but I’m not as successful in the sport as I was on the women’s team,” wrote Henig, who bested a one-armed swimmer and three others who specialize in other strokes in November.
Henig, who hails from Menlo Park, California, was a high school phenom and even tried out for the 2016 Olympics long before having a double mastectomy and identifying as a man. As a sophomore at Yale, Henig was the top swimmer on the women’s team.

I do believe they had to turn in their man cards after the competition was over.
Do they get husky voices, big biceps and triceps, a desire to stick their fake penis in vaginas? Aptitude for mechanics and math? Do they even like to see girls naked? Beyond weird.

Better hydrodynamics can really improve your times.
No, most of these people are mentally ill. They need genuine treatment not encouragement of staying mentally ill. This whole pretendaboy and pretendagirl stuff being forced on society and encouraged by society needs to end.
A near sweep of league swim titles for SHP, Menlo-Atherton
May 8, 2016
She swam for two high schools, Menlo Atherton and Castilleja.
the Menlo-Atherton girls followed up their undefeated dual-meet season by claiming the team title at the PAL Bay Division Championships by scoring 559 points to San Mateo's 302. The M-A boys followed up their second place to Carlmont during the dual-meet season by taking second to the Scots, 568.5 to 406.Little did M-A coach Jane Worden know how much "new dimension" Izzi would add.Interestingly enough, there was one swimmer on the day who was connected to both meets. That was Menlo-Atherton sophomore Izzi Henig. Last season, she won two individual events to help Castilleja to its runner-up finish in the WBAL finals. Henig transferred to M-A, sat out the waiting period and then joined the Bears late in the dual-meet season. Like she did last year, Henig made a big splash Saturday as she won two individual events, swam on two winning relays and set two meet records and two school marks.
Henig first anchored the 200 medley relay team of Haley Arrington, Faith Dunn and Maddie Worden to victory in 1:48.53, swimming a sizzling 22.54 for her 50 free. She came back to win the 200 free in 1:49.57, breaking a meet record set in 2004 and M-A's record of 1:52.50 by Maddie Pont in 2014.
Henig added a second individual win in the 100 fly (56.28) and then led off the 400 free relay team with a meet record of 49.38 for her 100 free, breaking the previous mark of 51.34 by M-A's Brooke Stenstrom in 2013. Henig's time also lowered Stenstrom's school mark of 51.32.
"The girls were terrific at PALs," said M-A coach Jane Worden. "Izzi definitely adds a new dimension to our team and not just with her speed; she is a great teammate and the girls adore her.
You can’t change your internal chemistry.
Less than 1% of the population is trans whatever, but you'd think it was greater by the exposure.
gaslighting.

When will the brainwashed leftist women understand that the left wants to erase actual women?
yeah, and one only has one arm!
the other two are “alternative” stroke swimmers, what ever the hell that means...
“BUT ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DOING IT”!
Yeah, but if all your friends cut their pecker or tits off would you do it?
APPARENTLY YES!
People aren’t just stupid, they are HORRENDOUSLY STUPID!
No b@lls either.🙄
But when you want to make something faster you smooth it out, not make it lumpier.
That’s a question you probably don’t want to know the answer to .🤨
It’s a form of eugenics.🤔
Actually you can,you just can’t change your DNA, easily.🙄
Agreed.
