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.

We are in agreement then?

Sure, if you agree that women aren't well suited for voting in federal elections.

So did your mom refuse to go to prom with you and that’s what’s got your panties in a twist? Been mad at every woman since then?

Oh well. You were objective up to a point.
I can never understand the “woman shouldn’t vote” contingent. It is so illogical and irrational. As though there is no normal curve, as though women haven’t died for their Country, been responsible for discoveries, excelled in science, math & logic. I can only feel sorry for your blindness and hope you may better understand some day that stereotypes are a trap for the intellectually lazy.

Stereotypes are often based on reality. Smart Asians, for example. They never represent every single member of the group, but they often give an accurate statistical picture.

You are hung up on the brainwashing that there are no differences between men and women. There are STARK psychological differences between them, and those differences make one group better suited to guide the functions of government better than the other, assuming we want the American model of individual freedom.

Another way to look at it is simple cause and effect. What effect do we get if we allow women to vote? So far, we have CLEARLY gotten a more leftwing, collectivist approach to government.

If the conditioning you have received all your life prevents you from that simple reasoning and observation, I’m not sure how I can talk you out of it.

No. I think men & women are very different.
They complement each other.
I’m just not dumb enough to think women are unable to vote competently. Both men & women are often poorly educated and do not understand the stakes and the end games. The educational system in the USA has become debased in order that America’s citizens can shoulder their civic responsibilities.
Your example is a joke and does not advance your argument in the least.
There are many smart asian people but that does not mean all Asians are smart. The normal curve for Asians is shifted about 5 points to the right compared to the Caucasian curve. That means many, many Asian people are less intellectually gifted than many Caucasians. People are individuals and the normal curve expresses a truth in aggregate but not in specifics. Asian people are so successful, not based on intelligence, but on work ethic and ambition both of which are highly engrained in their culture. That is a much more important factor than a slightly shifted normal curve. We are more than our raw intelligence. Stereotypes are only good for jokes. Anyone who tries to use them to make judgements about people is fooling themself.

part of my comment was truncated: “debased and must be rebuilt in order that America’s citizens can shoulder their civic responsibilities.”

Like I said, I don’t know how to undo your conditioning. You admit that men and women are different, but can’t admit that those differences might affect suitability for voting. Your conditioning will not allow you to make any logical connection that contradicts the set narrative.

You have a bad case of the blinders on.
I can’t help you.
Anyone foolish enough to think that whether someone is a man or a woman determines more about that person than their individual traits, is a person who is unable to cope with nuance, preferring to operate on bias, thus unable to adequately assess reality.
Are you so insecure that you need to believe that as a man you are superior in reasoning to all women? That is patently ridiculous as well as untrue. Remember the normal curve.
Who could be so moronic that they could blame the multifactorial problems in American society on the fact that women vote?
Enjoy your disfunction but you are fooling yourself and ensuring that you cannot appreciate the critical factors that need to be addressed to rescue America from the leftists’ machinations.
A house divided against itself can not stand. Rather than doing the left’s work & fomenting discord why not rise about your prejudice and realize that we are one American people male & female. You do not know every man & every woman. You do know that many men & many women are patriots who love their Country. We need to reach those others who have become confused & disaffected. That is what you should be spending your energy on, not on a pissing contest trying to hold up outmoded inaccurate tripe.

The public should stop going to meets with transgender “female” athletes. Why aren’t any transgender “male” athletes competing on men’s teams?

Sorry IMHO as parent of daughters and granddaughters, I don’t think self-organized sports is the same as high school and college sports. I just don’t think girls should be robbed of opportunities which is clearly happening. It is not their fault...

You think high school and college sports are better than self-organized sports. That's your right to do so. Maybe you are correct about that, but that doesn't mean you can compel a high school or college to suit your tastes and needs when they organize their sports.

None of these girls is being "robbed" of anything -- because they're not legally -- or even morally -- entitled to anything that is allegedly being taken away from them.

They’ll be seriously verbally attacked. Their lives will be threatened by tweets. The perversion activists will try to cancel their careers. Hopefully, enough people are getting sick of this madness, the women swimmers will get lots of support, too.
