I’m confused! Trans swimmers Lia Thomas and Iszac Henig went head-to-head in the pool

I think some of us even suggested this pages ago or on the other thread that was locked a while back. |

The evidence absolutely supports this conclusion. In addition to Lia Thomas and the Connecticut transgender woman runner, there is a third example. At the Olympics, the transgender woman weightlifter suddenly couldn’t lift 120kg when this same person lifted 126kg and 144kg at the same event just months earlier. Laurel Hubbard won the Roma World Cup, an Olympic qualifying event, handily and then suddenly, when the whole world was watching for signs of an unfair advantage, couldn’t even complete one lift at the Olympics, huh? Complete nonsense. |

| Hey you don’t have to worry about it at all. The ncaa said trans athletes can compete however they want. No drugs. No testing. All good. |

This has become nothing more than a circus show (and yes I know it was even before that). Anyone who knows swimming knows that at the collegiate level, absent injury or illness, you don’t add 20 seconds to your time in the 500 free between meets a month apart. She clearly was pacing herself, but make no mistake she will show up at the NCAAs and put down the best times she can so that she can say she was the NCAA champion. She just wants to make sure she is allowed to compete in the NCAAs given the blowback. I don’t understand what pride she is taking in being faster than biological women, it’s not furthering her desire to be seen as a woman, and whatever you think about trans women competing against biological women, everyone knows that the reason she is beating biological female swimmers so soundly is that she is a biological male who went through puberty. |

| Corrina Cohn has tremendous courage. As hard as it is for members of the general public to push back on the excesses and damaging nature of transgender ideology, it is even tougher for transgender people to do so. She has been attacked and threatened and trans activiste have tried to get her fired and impoverished. I have no doubt that attacks on her from the transgender community will only intensify now that she is testifying. |

I’m the PP who posted about Corinna Cohn being savagedly attacked by trans activists (but I’m not the PPs who posted the Twitter link to her testimony or commented favorably on it).
Corinna, a transexual what Corinna prefers to be called) wrote a powerful, terrifying article about what being groomed by transgender women did to her life: https://quillette.com/2020/06/22/for-30-years-ive-tried-to-become-a-woman-heres-what-i-learned-along-the-way/ |

+ a million The Democrats are systematically dismantling literally everything that protects women's rights and bodies in our society, and giving it to men, who we are then supposed to pretend are actually women. Even though they have a p#nis in the women's locker room. And if you don't agree with that, you're a bigot, and the woke crowd will ruin you. So we're not even allowed to say anything about it. All we can do is vote. The Republicans know this issue is working for them, and they are going to make a big push on trans issues in 2022 and 2024. |

Is your argument that there are no physiological differences between men and women that confer any innate advantages to the male sex that become overwhelmingly apparent in sports? Because if that is what you are suggesting then I strongly recommend that you consult a human anatomy textbook.

So you agree that sports should be segregated on the basis of sex and not gender identity? Good, then I hope you also agree that Iszac Henig should compete with MEN. |

Henig should be forced to compete with men or else banned because she is almost certainly on estrogen suppressants and has altered her body. All of those actions would constitute cheating and be disqualifying under the rules that govern all other female swimmers. So, Henig’s “gender identity” shouldn’t be a get out of jail free card. |

The girls on the swim team have also expressed their discomfort sharing a locker room with Lia because she still has her male genitalia and doesn't always cover up.
'Multiple swimmers have raised it, multiple different times,' the UPenn swimmer said. 'But we were basically told that we could not ostracize Lia by not having her in the locker room and that there's nothing we can do about it, that we basically have to roll over and accept it, or we cannot use our own locker room.' 'It's really upsetting because Lia doesn't seem to care how it makes anyone else feel,' the swimmer continued. 'The 35 of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10445679/Lia-Thomas-UPenn-teammate-says-trans-swimmer-doesnt-cover-genitals-locker-room.html |

The simple answer to why Iszac is not competing on the men’s swim team , is because he knows he wouldn’t qualify if he had to compete against actual men since biologically he is a female.
I have no issue with people deciding what gender they identify as. It’s no ones business but their own. The issue is here that these transgender swimmers are using their biological sex as an unfair advantage, separate from their psychological sex. Iszac is all male, unless of course it would disadvantage him. Can I identify as African American when I apply for jobs, but then identify as white when the police pull me over ? |
