Controversial UPenn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas is unrepentant that he took several college swimming records away from female competitors. Thomas says that he would not do anything differently despite having his college erase his women’s swimming records, and even in the face of the school’s apologies to his female opponents for allowing him to compete on the women’s swim team. Thomas said he tries to avoid thinking negatively about swimming after he went from the height of being a record-breaking success in women’s sports, to being erased from his school’s records in an interview with Pennsylvania Public Radio station WHYY.

2022 NCAA women’s swimming champion William Thomas, who claims to be a woman, will be the recipient of the Voice of Inspiration Award at Rainbow Labs’ Violet Visionary Awards on Thursday. Mr. Thomas’ national title sparked nationwide backlash and is considered one of the catalysts in the battle over transgender athlete participation in girls’ and women’s sports. The award "honours an individual whose story and actions ignite hope and courage within the (sexual perversion) community," according to Rainbow Labs' website.

The President of the United States spent his Tuesday morning publicly harassing a 16-year-old high school junior. Her only crime? The talented student athlete won two California Interscholastic Federation titles in the girls’ long jump and triple jump at the Southern Section finals held Saturday and is now entitled to compete in the state finals in Clovis, May 30-31.

THIS is the way. Congrats to Reese Hogan, the REAL champ!!! Congratulations to Reese Hogan, the real champion in yesterday's triple jump at CIF Southern Section Finals.👏🏼 She set a new PR and school record.

Just a dude who wants to show the world how he's faster, stronger, and better than the girls.

A young female rugby player who was left screaming in agony after a transgender rival tore apart her knee ligaments has accused sporting chiefs of letting her down. Elena King, 20, suffered a torn ACL and MCL in January in the Netherlands after her biologically male opponent popped her left knee out of its socket with a rash challenge. Now facing lifelong pain and six months of physiotherapy just to run again, she is asking why the Dutch Rugby Association allows transgender athletes to compete against women.

OPINION: What are the chances? That thing that “never happens” happened yet again last week: A biological male competing against females won first place in two track events. It happened in (surprise!) Maine, which so far has held firm against President Trump’s executive order banning biological men from competing against women in interscholastic athletics. In what appears to have been a tri-meet, North Yarmouth Academy junior Soren Stark-Chessa won the girls 800 meter and 1600 meter (mile) runs, the latter by almost 20 seconds. As noted by Outkick, the 800 event was a closer race with Yarmouth High’s Lilah Connor...

Charlie Rothenberger, who now goes by “Marissa,” was transitioned by his parents at an extremely early age and is now drawing ire from his female teammates as more are becoming aware that he is biologically male. Rothenberger is a 17-year-old student at Champlin Park High School in Champlin, Minnesota. He currently plays as a starting pitcher for his girl’s high school fastpitch team, where he has been credited with helping the school dominate softball competitions. Earlier...

Meet "Marissa" Rothenberger, a 6-foot-tall MALE pitcher pretending to be a FEMALE, who has been dominating Girls' High School softball in Brooklyn Park, MN. Girls only hit 12% of his pitches, and he only allowed a SINGLE hit in a recent game. Even the announcers acknowledge his physical advantage, despite also pretending he is a girl. Rothenberger is a CHEATER. Keep men out of women's sports!
