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.
I'm not encouraged. I remember thinking that Rapp "music" wouldn't last long.
As a reminder, governments have created problems by pretending for a long time: Salem witch hunts; legalized slavery, the holocaust, abortion, and now pretending that homosexuality is normal.
Eventually, all will end because they are based on pretending, not based on truth, but it might take a long, long time in human terms.
Hideous grotesque and out of Matt. 24. Genesis 6
almost anything a female can do, a guy-in-a-dress can do better ...
Okay, enough with the PC wording. Biological women will never be on an equal playing field with MEN!
What was the purpose of Title 9 if not to help women have a fair and sporting outlet for their athletic talents.
This entire fiasco is "anti-female" PERIOD. We need to start pointing that out. Also, the other biological females need to stop participating in this farce. When the "transgender female" aka Male steps up, all the biological females should "take a knee". Stop participating in this absolutely unfair farce. Maybe lawsuits against the universities and others for allowing this to happen. Damn the people calling you names, take a stand for the young women being abused in this way.
Ok am I the only one? Surely not. My question is - given the tight and clingy swimsuits they wear (which up until now were easy on the eyes) what does boyfriend do with his equipment when suiting up? Or has he already been altered? Inquired minds want to know.
Is there a betting pool yet on when the he/she freak takes his own life after the swimming thing is over?
Mental illness left untreated will have consequences.
We are officially in kray kray world.
This guy is just another attention seeking, narcissistic, homosexual ahole.
Ruth Bader Ginzburg is on record saying that Roe v Wade was a bad decision because instead of being decided on the imaginary “privacy” provisions of the 4th Amendment, it should have been based on the notion that women would only be “equal” to men if they were not burden with the risk of unwanted pregnancy. Would love to know how she’d feel about the “equality” afforded these women.
“after the 200 freestyle, Thomas could be overheard bragging.
“That was so easy, I was cruising..”
“Lia” sounds like a real asshole.
Winning is everything in collegiate sports. Nothing else matters.
High school too.
All the women should just refuse to participate. Let him “win” by swimming all alone and looking like the idiot he is.
You’re welcome.
These criers should just kneecap the problematic freak.
The public should stop going to meets with transgender “female” athletes. Why aren’t any transgender “male” athletes competing on men’s teams?
Keep voting Democrat, because they care so much about you(/s).
This piece of shit should be ridiculed to no end. He’s actually a very shitty swimmer. The media gives him all this acclaim over records, but those records are not Division I NCAA women’s records. They are not American or World records for women. And they are no where near any men’s records or boys for than meter. Yes, I wrote ‘boys’. I looked up Thomas’s 1650 time and he would be lapped by the USA Swimming Age Group record holder for 13-14 year old boys. So ridicule him as a swimmer first since he gets so much attention there and ridicule him as a science denier and his basic intelligence. U Penn should be ridiculed too. I thought they had high academic standards, but they allow science deniers to be enrolled. They support a lie that man can be a woman and in the process hurt women. There really should be a law to punish enablers of this crap.
The truth which dare not speak its name…
