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.

A penis would have helped her swim faster, sort of like a dorsal fin on a dolphin.

Oh well. Not everybody is born with them.

The truth about sex differences is obvious for those who are not blind.

Somebody will have to carefully explain to him/her/them how this trans athlete thing is supposed to work.

Does (s)he insist on changing in the men’s locker room? How does (s)he pee standing up? What if another athlete identifies as gay or female, and asks him/her/they (Oh, I give up!) for a date. What could go wrong.

Hmmm. No donger, no boobs, no fun. "It" can try, but few opportunities.

I can almost understand the science behind a man trying to become a woman. You can grow real female looking breasts with hormones and basically invert your existing penis tissue and make a vagina out of it. Still gross stuff but functional in a theoretical way. At least a man going this way can have somewhat normal sex with another man as a "fake female."

Women trying to become men however is even more sadder. They perform a totally unnecessary double mastectomy and then remove a perfectly functioning vagina, uterus and even fallopian tubes in order to create a sad, poor imitation of a penis by grafting skin off your arms and thighs. All so they can do is pee standing up and spend the rest of their lives getting lectured by other women to put the toilet seat back down. They can't use their skin-grafted imitation penis to ejaculate and have normal sex with a woman like a man can. So what is the point exactly?

People are stupid.

I’ve seen those pictures. Muslims would run in terror from this one.

How embarrassing for the ones who placed 80-83.

Transgenderism is no threat to a man. Men aren’t worried about losing in sports to them, and most times, it’s a joke to see a woman walk into a men’s restroom.

Transgenderism is, plain and simple, anti-woman.

It’s women who are threatened most by these mentally ill people. And sadly, they either won’t see it or won’t stand up against it in numbers…
