I know we talked about this before and some idiot apologist said that the trans have less testosterone, but it continues not to be fair. Let them have a trans league. The girls were all crying.

The guy looks like a guy




A USA Swimming official who resigned in protest of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas told Fox News on Monday that she can't stand by and watch as girls are "thrown under the bus" by "biological" male competitors.

Cynthia Millen stepped down last week after officiating USA Swimming meets for over three decades. Her decision came days before the U.S. Paralympics Swimming National Championships in Greensboro, N.C.

"The fact is that swimming is a sport in which bodies compete against bodies. Identities do not compete against identities," Millen said in an appearance on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "Men are different from women, men swimmers are different from women, and they will always be faster than women."

In her resignation letter, Millen said that she felt University of Pennsylvania transgender athlete Lia Thomas's record-setting dominance of collegiate women's swimming was grossly unfair, writing that she can "no longer participate in a sport that allows biological men to compete against women."

Thomas previously competed as a man at Penn for two full seasons, most recently in 2019. NCAA rules dictate that transgender players must partake in one year of testosterone suppression before they can compete as women.

"It’s horrible," Millen said. "The statement for women then is you do not matter, what you do is not important, and little girls are going to be thrown under the bus by all of this," Millen said, telling Fox News guest host Sean Duffy that Thomas is "going to be destroying women’s swimming."

"USA swimming recognizes that boys swim differently from girls," she explained.

Millen detailed the different biological factors that impact a swimmer's performance, explaining that "boys will always have larger lung capacity, larger hearts, greater circulation, a bigger skeleton, and less fat."

"While Lia Thomas is a child of God, he is a biological male who is competing against women," Millen said, "And no matter how much testosterone suppression drugs he takes, he will always be a biological male and have the advantage."

Thomas recently dominated a women’s competition at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron, including the 500-yard freestyle preliminaries and finals. She earned a winning time of 4:34.06 in the finals, which is a new Ivy League record.

Millen said it would be a "travesty to throw away" the legacy of female Olympic swimmers, such as Janet Evans and Jenny Thompson.

"All these women who worked so hard before Title IX when they didn’t have the opportunities that men had. It would be such a shame, such a travesty to throw it away now. This is what will happen."

Always great to hear from the fine folks here that care so deeply about the integrity of women’s athletics.

I’m noticing this story is getting a lot of coverage on Fox, Newsmax, New York Post etc.

I hope this is the start of much more gender balanced coverage of amateur sport by those fine media organizations.

I feel like there’s a lot of ire being directed at Lia Thomas, and not the NCAA and its current policies regarding trans athletes. She’s not breaking any rules, so maybe the NCAA needs to make some changes. Their rules seem a bit daft compared to the IOC rules on this.

Personally, I’m neither trans, transphobic, a woman, or someone that cares all that much about amateur sport, so I don’t have a horse in this race.

I personally think focusing on the athlete as opposed to the NCAA is a mistake, but I guess some stories need a certain face to get clicks on the outlets following this story the closest.

Yet, here you are asking for more "gender balanced coverage " of a man entering competition against women.

You are correct they need to look at the rules. Being born a biologic female to play with other biologic female should be instated. This trans should be allowed to compete against men.

Just because I don’t read a lot of amateur athletics stories doesn’t mean I don’t want publications I browse to be offering balanced coverage of women’s athletics.

This is one of those subjects where no matter what you say, someone somewhere will feel offended or think they should feel offended or want to feel offended and report you to the authorities to try to get you fired from your job so you wind up at the corner of Bay and King begging for spare change.

Maybe. Seems a bit unrealistic to me.

That said, I was this many days old when I read that the IOC did away with its testosterone rules, putting it more in line with the NCAA than I thought they were.

I have absolutely no idea how they’re going to sort this out if it ever gets to the point of needing a sortin’ 🤣

I have seen German porn… there is no story Cantaro could post that would possibly offend me. That being said, I am still able to recognize a steaming pile of shit when I see it.

And the post above it is correct. People are demonizing a trans person, when it’s the NCAA rules we should be examining.

And I agree with the principle that women need a fair space to compete in.

Lol!! What is "gender balanced coverage"? The journalists need to be trans? Or one male and one female?? You have a biological man who has competed as man enter women's competitions. This is not about politics, gender fluidity and all the psychobable, this is simple science and the outcome is predictable.

German porn ??? 😂 What's with that? But I agree the NCAA is firstly responsabile but if I were a Trans, especially someone with his body, It wouldn't feel right competing against women. I have no issue with him being trans, doesn't bother me.

Question…. and I am not trying to be a dick. You say you have no issue with him being trans…. If that is true, why did you say “him”?

Just for identifying issues, thats why. We can call him a her, no problems with that. If I had issues with Trans, I would not be afraid to tell you. I have no issue with gays either. I just don't like the trans in the sports story.

Does this trans athlete still have a cock and balls?

If yes, then I would question their level of commitment to being trans. I mean taking drugs to supress testosterone is kind of a chicken approach to being a transexual. Going in for the chop shows a true level of commitment.

I've heard it said that some trans athletes only go this route because they knew they never had a prayer competing against other men, but against women, they could be champs and set records. Then, once they've fulfilled their champion dreams, simply stop taking the testosterone suppressants and in no time you're back to being a man.

But chopping off the balls and cock, well, there's no going back from that is there.
