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.

He (Lia) doesn’t have the balls to appeal this. Well, I guess he does.

It took a while to find an accurate news article, but unfortunately, I was unable to find one from any MSM source. They all referred to him as she.

At least the court is sane enough to realize the consequences of destroying women's sports. I was halfway expecting the trans ideology to get its way. Another judge ruled against Florida's ban on "gender affirming care" for kids.

They go ape if you don’t use their “preferred pronouns.”

Create a Tranny Division, and let the dysphoric compete among their own kind.

That would make too much sense. “Lia” Thomas wants to steal the glory that others have earned through years of honest effort.

Damn! Logic and common sense lose again. But there’ll be girls who want a penis competing in this division, too. He can still beat them like a drum.

Sex is not “assigned at birth” - it’s assigned at conception.

It'll REALLY be upset when it finds Heaven's gates SHUT!


But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

  9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
      Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. 
But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Fox news with a title sympathetic to Thomas (by a writer named Ryan Gaydos):Lia Thomas' Olympics dreams dashed after legal challenge to World Aquatics' transgender policy fails

Who knows, maybe Fox producers wanted that title. I can't remember if Fox used such rhetoric for Riley Gaines.

Born with first name Willy and middle name Dick, he's an embarrassment to his Looney ancestors!
