“ He really should apologize, though.”

He should have had his narcissistic ass kicked 17 ways from Sunday the first time he strolled into the women’s locker room.

She chose to say nothing and keep her scholarship. I’m not criticizing her choice but she did make one. She chose money over her dignity.

Lust will make men do anything, including pretending they are a woman just so they can fulfill their voyeuristic pleasure seeing them changing out of their swim suit and be nude in the shower room. The worse part of having Lia Thomas in the women’s dressing room is the piss on the toilet seat.

“ not a pronoun, your clothing, your manners”
You mean a fat woman who shaves the sides of her head, wears a flannel shirt and jeans and carries a wallet with a chain is not a dude?
Surely you jest! I see them all the time like that pretending to be something odd, very odd. Its even worse when they have kids in tow…

apology?!?!?!

I'd have to have $18,000,000 for trauma induced poor swimming abilities!

Instead, they created an 'open' category for which transgender athletes would be eligible.

And all three will medal!

Junk gone still don’t make a ‘she’ - just a mutilated MALE.

Then why isn't she 'choosing' money now?

I can tell you with absolute certainty that I would have vacated the premises and refused to share a locker room with that dude — even if it meant driving home in a wet swimsuit.

And, yes — I would have quit the team too, if necessary.

>At the least, snap him in his nuts with a towel.<

:=) That’s man-think. That kind of group ridicule could have stopped it early on. If he retaliated, they could have played the victim card.

Ef her!

No one forced her in that locker room. She - and the rest of her real women teammates - could have stopped this right at the beginning by no competing. My Lord - it is/was so easy to stop this crap - to nip it in the bud, as Barney would say - right at the beginning. Just refuse to compete if that thing - or any other things - steps onot the field or court.

It was actually a joke about not “committing” to his cause. I should have indicated that. Yeah, the guy is a mess.

Absolutely that is what those weak little girls should have done. Even if it cost them their scholarships.

Change the narrative. Make everything XX/XY and watch the left’s heads explode. Put it on bathroom doors in all restaurants, locker rooms and other places where XX/XY need to be identified.

I would have preferred if Thomas’s teammates had complained a lot louder while he was making a mocker of women’s swimming, as opposed to now when they’ve got nothing to lose.

They did complain loudly, as did their parents, but were shamed, and told they would be subjected to university discipline and possibly ejected — many of these women were in their junior or senior years and had worked since childhood to be a college athlete and compete in the league. Some had scholarships they would have lost.

UPenn has slimed itself terribly.

As usual, blame the woman who was victimized, not only by the school, but bullied by her teammates:
Penn teammates back transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in public statement
The unsigned statement comes after at least one anonymous member of the Penn women’s swimming and diving team spoke out against Thomas....
“The sentiments put forward by an anonymous member of our team are not representative of the feelings, values, and opinions of the entire Penn team, composed of 39 women with diverse backgrounds,” the athletes said, referring to a recent Fox News interview with an anonymous team member who disagrees with Thomas’ participation on the women’s team.
Eventually enough women came forward:

College swimmers and volleyball players sue NCAA over transgender policies

NCAA facing lawsuit regarding transgender competitors’ eligibility

THIS THIS THIS!!!! I have said from the beginning of all this crap there are WAY MORE perverts out there who will use it as an excuse to get into womens intimate areas for their twisted jollies then there are actual, real “trans” people, if any at all. It’s all guys with mommy issues if you ask me.

Document, document, document. In a situation like Ms. Scanlan found herself, coercive actions on the part of the school, she should have gathered and retained as much documentation as possible, up to and including video. She would then be in a position at a time of her choosing to sue the school and anyone connected with the coercion for substantial damages. The school has no defense to “changing the rules” for women athletes after granting scholarships and moving away from universally accepted norms (separate dressing areas/rest rooms based on sex). Until these nitwits in academia are held accountable, nothing will change.
