Not to make light of this but at this point in the conversation the women need to play along until the season openers and leave en mass. It would take courage, but it would send a message. Heckuva way to send a message, but any athletic aspirations flew out the window the day the cuckoo birds flew into the nests.
Lia Thomas is FORCING the country to deal with something that was much easier to deny and ignore, which is where the gay movement is going (which is towards pedophilia, as they’re already testing the waters there).
So if people do rise up (a little transgender woman lingo) to stop him, then he will have done a GREAT SERVICE to the country...as literally NOTHING ELSE was being done to stop this crap before him. If not, then just business as usual...and the girls at Penn can thank their ‘sisters-in-arms’, and probably themselves earlier, for empowering this these people.
Satan at work.
Feminist/Feminism movement is dead. Confirmed.
The fact that, despite some naked dude hanging his figs in her face, she still refers to "her male genitals" means she's either drank the koolaid herself, or is too cowardly to state the obvious truth - that the dude is a dude.
Going along with the lie is worse than telling the lie.
For everybody else, it's theoretical. For the other members of the swim team, it's their career and their life. It's not easy being Jackie Robinson.
If women are supposed to be equal to men, then they have no business competing in segregated sporting events.
My prediction all along has been that this idiocy will ultimately bring about the demise of ALL scholastic sports. The women's events will be dominated by men and then disappear, and the schools will be in the uncomfortable position of having to explain why they only have men's sports. So rather than face up to their own fundamentally flawed world view, they will simply drop sports entirely.
You're going to see collegiate sports go the way of club teams in the not-too-distant future.
I disagree. My brother played for an Ivy League basketball team, and that played a direct role in his landing his first job.
I think for an amateur athlete, the pride of completion and accomplishment would be the primary reason these people continue to participate in college sports even if they have no plans or opportunity to go on. And that sense of pride is very important to them.
Do you think it would have been the same case if he had been an Ivy League swimmer or cyclist?
My first adult amateur hockey team was in a league that made a big deal about ensuring that the competition was fair and reasonable. They had five tiers of teams, and went to great lengths to make sure that players -- and teams -- were placed in the appropriate tiers. That was a big part of their sales pitch when they charged registration fees for the league.
Alumni bonds can be pretty powerful no matter what the sport.
Western feminism is dead. I suppose that feminists in other non western countries fighting trafficking, prostitution, porn, genital mutilation, forced hijab and such are still trucking along to some degree.
This is the result of feminism and women voting.
Quote: “The 35 of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one.”
First: Woman and men are conceived as either female or male. A person is not assigned a random sex at their birth. It is the miracle of nature and the speed of dad’s swimmer that decides whether mom’s egg is conceived a male or a female. When a child is born the results of a conception being either male or female is noted and recorded.
Regarding: “The feelings of one.” Feelings? What are these feelings? The feeling of power that a male chauvinist gets from dominating and demeaning females? What is the need, feeling or desire, not only of male claimants of womanhood, but of those who support and insist that men should be allowed to claim to be just as good at being or better at being a female, a woman, then those conceived as female?
Something is wrong. Too many are trying to demote conceived female to a lower status then that of those conceived male who claims female status. It feels to many that a conceived male’s claim of having a conceived female’s birthright of and to femininity and womanhood are a way for some conceived males to dominate, demean and lower the status of conceived females. Are they actually chauvinists?
Second: A separate subject is females who claim masculinity and to be male as it has always been men, males, that have the power to dominate conceived females.
Just my rambling thoughts....
They would be targeted for being "transphobic" and anti-LGBTQ.
LGBTQ activists and their fake news lackeys would gleefully intimidate employers against hiring them.
This is what these young women are, rightfully and unfortunately, afraid of. It's why they won't come out publicly and on the record against this outrage.
They are giving the wrong person mental health services.
I haven’t heard a peep out of any feminist women. Wonder why?
