Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas out of Olympics after being dealt fatal legal blow
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 12 2024 | JOE HUTCHISON

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.

She first rose to prominence after becoming the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title in 2022 and has since been banned from competing against biological women in international events following a change in regulations.

β€œ Does it still have male parts???”

Whether HE does or HE doesn’t changes nothing about the physical advantage MEN have over women in competitive sports.

Sure, you can mimic being a male or a female, but thinking anyone can change their sex that's assigned innate at birth is pure folly.

What part of "No" do you not understand, sir?

"Doesn't matter and shouldn't matter."
100%! I was under the impression that it still had its male bits, and thought I recalled the women on his team confirming that. If that is the case, then it makes this reprobate's lawsuit even more outrageous and insulting. AND, I don't think fake men should be allowed to participate on any women's team no matter when they transed, 12yo or other :(
Somewhat off topic, I was asked what sex my daughter was "assigned' at birth. The admin got an earful from me and actually tried to explain why they had to ask; I let him know it was the choice of the word "assigned" that offended me. I am sick AF of less-than-1% of the population forcing all this on the rest of us who just want to be left alone.

Thomas still has male sex chromosomes.

That’s what matters.

Back when this guy first came to public notice, it was reported that his trannie shtick was a ruse, a play for attention and swimming success that had eluded him on the men’s squad. He even had a girlfriend. Presumably he’s still intact.

What a sissy.

Put him back in the men's competition, in which he will surely flounder.

IMO, Thomas is a PAID HACK of team Soros with the goal of sabotaging Western culture.

The tremendous loss of revenue that the Olympics would suffer for giving in to this nonsense is the red line that will not be crossed. Allowing men pretending to be women to compete with real women in the Olympics would be the end of the Olympics and that corrupt committee knows it.

I remember back in the day, Boy George was called a "shim".

Well at least he didn't call himself "Girl George", so you have to at least give him some credit.

I still think in the back of my mind he’s trolling. And even he can’t believe how much he’s been able to get away with.

Boy George had class, even though he thinks he’s a she.
