"A trans swimmer and senior at the University of Pennsylvania, who previously spent three years competing as a man, smashed two US records while competing at a weekend contest, sparking fresh claims of unfairness.
On Sunday, Lia Thomas, 22, put in an astounding performance at the Zippy Invitational Event in Akron, Ohio, that saw her finish the 1,650 yard freestyle 38 seconds ahead of her teammate Anna Sofia Kalandaze."
Lia Thomas used to be Will Thomas. Is this fair? Women are starting to complaint that this is a disgrace to women's sports.
Well of course HE would break all female records because HE is a HE.

And all a mediocre male athlete needs to do is declare they are a woman inside their head, and they are suddenly a woman, breaking all the records, and kicking women off the list, and the team. For example, Biden declared that Health Secretary Rachel Levine was the first woman to hold that post. It's nuts. No pun intended.
They're fast women's times but nowhere close to US records, and I'm not sue where the Mail is getting that.

200 free -2 Seconds or about a difference of about 2%
500 free - 10 Seconds or a difference of about 4%
1650 free - Almost a minute I best that sounds really huge, but that is still only a difference of about 6%
So I guess this is totally acceptable until records are broken. Then what?

Right??? Trans women can break every damn record in women’s sports and raise the bar higher than any biological woman can ever reach again. GREAT F’N IDEA.

The point is, he/she/it was non competitive 'as a man'. This is typical.
For years, nay millenia, it was recognized that there is a physical feat difference between men and women (duhhhh)
read the history (that has not been altered yet)
Then the 60's versions of 'woke' insisted there is zero difference anywhere.
But, reality is always there despite proclamations du jour.
So in the early 70's (like 72 I think) Title IX was created to create the same opportunities for girls/women as boys/men.
Then along comes 'new woke' which states you can just 'declare' a sex du jour and here we are.
No matter how a person feels, biology and the advantages/disadvantages attached to each sex, remain.
If there is a g-d, he is EXTREMELY pissed at you.
Stating such today is a sure way to get 'cancelled', proving once again, we dont use the phone book enough. not by a long shot.
