Second female Penn swimmer steps forward, describes teammates in tears

Penn administration 'strongly advise' its swimmers to avoid talking to the media about the situation surrounding Thomas..

...

Even after a Wednesday team meeting where a source says Penn administration "strongly advised" its swimmers to avoid talking to the media about the situation surrounding transgender Penn swimmer Lia Thomas, a second female Penn swimmer has stepped forward to speak out

...

The second female Penn swimmer to speak out, who was granted anonymity due to what is viewed as threats from the university, activists, and the political climate, wants people to know that Penn swimmers are "angry" over the lack of fairness in the sport as Lia Thomas destroys the record books and brings fellow teammates to tears.

...

The second Penn swimmer to come forward was at the University of Akron Zippy Invitational where she watched Lia Thomas beat fellow teammate Anna Kalandadze by 38 seconds in the 1650 freestyle. OutKick’s source described Penn swimmers on the Akron pool deck as upset and crying, knowing they were going to be demolished by Thomas.

They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose. Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they’re going to win and give it all they’ve got

...

Now they’re having to go behind the blocks knowing no matter what, they do not have the chance to win. I think that it’s really getting to everyone

...

after the 200 freestyle, Thomas could be overheard bragging.

"That was so easy, I was cruising..

...

the biological women are pretty much being told to shut their mouths and move along by the school and the NCAA.

...

biological women will never be on an equal playing field with transgender females.

My boy had a full CC/Track scholarship during his years at USI so I know a bit about the process.

You don’t perform to expectations, you lose your money. There is very little protection for the athletes and the discretion of fund allocation essentially resides exclusively with coaches and staff/administration.

“Well, obviously she’s No. 1 in the country because she’s at a clear physical advantage after having gone through male puberty and getting to train with testosterone for years,” ....... And “HE” will remain #1 as long as HE is called a SHE ... that’s where it has to stop! How can a reporter say “She” in a case like this?

This is woman on woman abuse. They vote for abortion and all other liberal causes far more than men. If women are mad, they should look at themselves and other women. Men owe them nothing.

Not our problem. This is their $#it to deal with. May they reap what they sow.

“If UPenn is not in the budget there are other schools. In any case life goes on, and those young ladies really don’t have to put up with this”

With all due respect that is easy for you to say from your position.

The part the female swimmers do yet understand is they are lucky this is being covered by the press. Any concerns of conservatives get zero coverage.

Yep. When women remember where they belong, men will remember their position and temperament as well.

Not “biological” woman vs. “trans” woman, but REAL woman vs. demonic fake conMAN.

I do have sympathy for them because the girls in NCAA swimming are 18-22 year-old young women who’ve spent their nearly every day of their entire lives at the pool training to get where they are.

If you have a daughter, tell her to quit the NCAA team she's on. Most colleges have intramurals so she can still do that and have fun. Also, there are other things to focus on. Spending too much time on a NCAA sport is silly, you should spend enough time just for the college experience and to compete against other schools, that's about it. No need to train like a pro.

Wait a minute. We've been lectured to over and over again and told how truly brave these transgendered are. So now that everyone has sat around oohing and aahing at the bravery of the transgendered we're supposed to worry about what they have now wrought?

And, the audacity of the University of trying to intimidate the girls into not speaking. Wanna bet they were threatened of being thrown off the swim team or with scholarships or being kicked out of the school?

Character and integrity are only proven when you lose something in the process.

These students are blessed to have the opportunity to make a major life choice when they are young—hope they choose wisely.

What these women need to realize is that this tranny freak has ZERO integrity and ZERO respect for REAL women. If HE did, HE wouldn’t compete knowing HE has a tremendous advantage over REAL women

When are these women going to realize they have to WALK OUT to put a stop to this?

“And that may be true, but most of them have been brainwashed for the past 15 years.”

Nope, they’ve been conditioned to not respond to the OBVIOUS. They know it’s wrong and evil, It’s now time they learn to respond and put an end to it.

Think about it, why would the rest of the team be angry about this guy if they were actually brainwashed into thinking this was just fine?

You can say for sure that every team member is a flamingly blind feminist. What is more likely is that none of the actual women on the team went to Penn State - probably on a swimming scholarship- because she wanted to have a frankenstein as a teammate.

The real culprits here are the slimy bastards that run the school - the same school that had to be dragged kicking and screaming to face the truth about Jopa and his enabling that animal sandusky.

The women should put their names in the transfer system and leave.

UPenn is Ivy League in Philly, Penn State is a state college in Happy Valley.
