Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas' demand she be allowed to compete against women in the Olympics has been dealt a fatal blow after she lost a crucial lawsuit.

Thomas, 25, had asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn a ban on biological males competing against women in hopes of racing at the Games.

This “Court of Arbitration for Sport” just saved the USA from a lot of embarrassment, and a lot of ill-will from the non-Western world.

I guess the panel that ruled against him remembers that classic scene: “that's a guy dressed up like a sheila!”

Agreed.

Calling him a "she" is like calling Stacey Abrams midsection "skinny".

Doesn't matter and shouldn't matter. The dude still has a Y chromosome, so he has male characteristics throughout. Sure, you can mimic being a male or a female, but thinking anyone can change their sex that's assigned at birth is pure folly.

Frankly, I’m shocked HE lost the case.

Likely now that it lost the lawsuit, it will go back to being a he and, in fact, go away.

At least Boy George wasn’t trying to pass himself off as a woman.

What a cuck. A loser. A slimebag.

This is good news. Not enough to make me watch the Olympics, but good news just the same.
