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.

Penn State just got new leadership. Unfortunately she is a red-dot moronic wokeazz tranny-loving know-nothing. Also Will swims for University of Pennsylvania, not Penn State.
Pass. I’m not sure even Laz would hit on that one.
I recall that was the plot of the 1982 movie "Tootsie" where an unsuccessful actor found out he could get work if he masqueraded as a woman.
Now back in 1982 that was a comedy.
Today it is a tragedy.
Until there is pain there will be no change.
Sorry, lots of men are dumb bunnies. We need civics & logic classes not the bigotry of low expectations and cataloging people according to stereotypes.
Citing Ann Coulter as a reasonable opinion was not your finest moment. She is 100% loon, occasionally by accident saying something germane & on target like a team of monkeys typing. She has no logic, consistency or credibility but lots of “look at me”.
Unfortunately, if they are there on a sports scholarship, they might not be able to stay at the university at all if they quit the team.
That's a tough call; stay on the team and lose, but get a college education, or quit the team and get booted from the school.

They shoot the ball much better, but athletically - yes. Any good boys high school team would run the WNBA champions off the court.
Dustin Hoffman right?
What you would have to have, in order to stop this, is have the entire women's swim team, minus Will, transfer en masse to a top swim school, with scholarships intact, to a conference that has either outlawed trannies or made sure they are unwelcome.
Basically the SEC.
The optix would be incredible.
ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY or reality testing. With that attitude you lose. You train always to beat your personal best, train as hard as you can not to beat a particular person. Anyone that thinks by training hard a woman can beat the best male athlete, except in a few sports like womens gymnastics, has slept through anatomy, physiology and history.
Well, you sound like the type of man I describe. Although the women’s movement got captured by man haters, most of us women had a legitimate claim that the society and many men was suppressing our God given talents and needs and not allowing us to be whole human beings. We loved our real men and our boys. We were feminists for life. You generalize too much.
“At the next swim meet they should just stand on the deck when the starting gun goes off. Let the queer swim by himself.”
An excellent idea and one which would get very wide coverage very quickly.
Extreme cognitive dissonance. 1984’s double-speak. 2+2=5. I love Big Brother.
This means exactly what? America is in a world of pain because of liberal fanaticism and zealotry. As a whole we need to rise up and get back on the reality track, put the lunatic fringe in time out & out of power.
Oh, grow a pair, you pu**y!
Yes, Dustin Hoffman.
denying fair competition and stacking the books against real females is denying scholarships and resultant step ups in life and business....
Girls gotta be girls. That’s just the way it is and that requires XX not XY.
Boys gonna be boys, because XY and that means that even “the low spark of high healed boys” gonna kick girl’s butts pretty much every time.
Boys kicking girls’ butts has always been looked down upon everywhere I’ve been since I’ve been on the planet except here and now.
And, having been raised in a different time, momma and daddy both woulda kicked ass big time any time any boy started messing with their girls.
But not today, so what the hell happened?
Is this what it looks like when God gives us over to the Romans 1:24-26 madness we keep fighting against Him for?
“...an unsuccessful actor found out he could get work if he masqueraded as a woman.”
This is not in regards to this sick situation where Loretta Martin thought she was a woman but was another man, but some of the strange comments appearing here.
What the hell is going on with the Free Republic?
Understandably, there are biological differences between men and women. Certainly there are some differences between types of intelligences and patterns of thinking. And there is nothing wrong with conservative values, particularly when we’re discussing physical limitations for most women doing physically intensive work typically associated with burly men and some areas where women in general (although not all women) have societal pressures on them to work in fields and which women typically are not favorably prone.
But since when has this forum become a place for people who are anti-representitve free government? When did this become a place for dogmatic thinking where the only respectable place for a woman to be is in the kitchen making a sandwich?
I really don’t see much difference between the new political class writing here and those we’re complaining about. Some comments are from people calling for treating women like dogs, as if women are not to step further outside of their home than the chain they are attached to. Some suggest women shouldn’t have freedom, lamenting participation in the political systems in which we live. What is next, advocating for violence against women? An ostensibly different political group of people do not allow women to participate politically outside of what the cult adheres to. They tarnish the God-given joys of motherhood, and glorify the murder of innocent babies. They too place women beneath men, allowing perverts to obfuscate the public life of females. Both ideologies subject women to the barbaric practice of living in a world without freedom. These are the ideas of totalitarians.
Most of my life, the men who have been supportive of women participating in female Athletics have been conservatives. They have been kind men who care about their daughters and women excelling. They are the kind of men who listen to their wives and respect them as God has asked them to do. They are patient and good and loving. The men that I have met in my life who hate women, who are jealous of women, who seek to keep women under their boot heels, are democrats. Out of everything I have done, from serving in the Navy, working in a bank, teaching economics, going to law school, participating in college athletics, conservatives judge me by my talents and respect me. Liberals do not.
So I don’t know what’s going on with this website but it’s increasingly troubling to see people openly suggesting that women are mere serfs relegated to a practice suggestive of Shari’a law.
I smell a rat. Conservatives love liberty. Conservatives believe in liberty. Conservatives know that some of the great conservatives in American and British History have been women (Ayn Rand, Phyllis Schaefly, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane, and Margaret Thatcher). Whoever these people are on this forum writing this trash I don’t think are conservatives and I want to sound the alarm on it.
The things being stated here by some are not Conservative in the least bit. Be ware. By their fruits ye shall know them.
