Paula Scanlan also said the #MeToo movement has been 'absorbed'

Roughly a month after testifying before a House Judiciary subcommittee about former teammate Lia Thomas, Paula Scanlan is calling out the hypocrisy she sees from Thomas' supporters.

In July, Scanlan said the #MeToo movement "empowered female victims to speak up" about their experiences of sexual harassment and abuse.

In a piece she wrote for The Telegraph Wednesday, she called the movement "absorbed."

At least the abilities improved, in the places where women have forced themselves into like the military, the standards went down.

Hundreds of women’s futures, mental health and self confidence has been destroyed by a few men who are unable to cut it as men.

Bad messaging. Don’t say “trans rights” over “concerns of women” because then the enemy just says “rights trump concerns”.

Say “trans rights” are being prioritized over “womens’ rights”. Then you might win over some feminists.

Not that I think women or trans should have any special rights, but if you are going to use a lever, use it correctly.

The Failed Males are misogynists. They are attempting to prove that they are better at being women than women.

Enough coddling this mental illness. It is absolute nonsense to allow this type of disorder in a civilization.

Isn’t “Lia Thomas” an anagram for “Alias Thom”? “Aloha, Mist”?

Trans rights are being prioritized over everything and to make matters worse, they aren’t presenting it as trans rights. They are presenting it as equity of all. They say that top swim coaches are putting too much emphasis on winning, demanding too much of women who just want to compete without working so hard.

The University of Kentucky fired Lars Jorgensen because of this “over training” and abusive yelling ay girls who didn’t work hard enough. Lars Jorgensen was Lia Thomas’ coach.

Don’t think that this is only one coach or one school. This happening across the country at schools, colleges and private clubs. It is part of their DEI. They say that putting too much emphasis on winning is unfair. In other words, Women shouldn’t mind if they are displaced by men, wearing a women’s bathing suit.

Of course they have. What it boils down to is which they can take to disrupt society more.

They “get off” on it. Pardon my language.

If they can’t “have them”...they move into their sphere and ruin them.

They are cheats. Plain and simple.

They have no shame and those that are approving of their cheating are mind numb robots without any thoughts of their own.

They just go along and they are pathetic.

You know what would put a stop to this nonsense? All of the ladies show up with a razor-sharp pair of dressmaker shears and back this idiot into a corner...
