Trans Yale Swimming Star Goes From Shark To Scrub After Joining Men’s Team: Trans swimmer now competes as man…

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.

At first she insisted she was a lesbian as well. That was her identity and how she was born. Until she changed her mind and decided she was actually a man.

It’s a sad state of affairs.

No chance of getting preggers, so “he” would make a good practice “boy” for wild teenage girls.

I don’t think so. I’m speaking from a point of ignorance…
