Everyone is going to compete against biological females? How does that improve anything from what is happening now?

Sorry, major typo on my part. Men vs men, women vs women.

Kaitlan also opined that Thomas probably could have swum the race much faster but only gave it enough to win in this particular event.
The record is still held by a 'regular' female, if I can say that w/out offending anyone.
What do we call 'regular' females anyway? Is that CIS? I'm confused.
Women. You call women "women." Not cis, not biological, not genetic, nor any other term invented to assuage "trans women."

What do you call "trans women?" Men.

Agree. I'm delighted and grateful if men comment that women are being cancelled. Thank you, men!

I saw an ad for a women’s product that referred to as as bleeders.

It seems that the word, “women” has become taboo. Why? And why are any women, especially women’s organizations going along with this?
Women can be their own worse enemy.

Obviously, for some women, the desire to be woke and inclusive surpasses caring about other women.

They have said, through anonymous sources, that they will lose their scholarships and never swim for a college again if they express any disapproval.

Their mothers wrote an open letter, but also didn't sign it for just that reason, decrying this practice of having a man on the team.

They need to figure out who is wielding all this power over all of them, and out him/her, and end this nonsense.

Reminds me of the Cultural Revolution in China in the 1960s/70s.

It's just bizarre.

Apparently this didn't just happen at UPENN - it happened, with the same script, to many other women's teams.

I'd really like to know who scripted this, and what power that entity has over all these people.
