When you take a good look at this "trans" swimmer breaking all the women's records...

Things sort of fall into better focus


In the abstract, the concept of a trans-female athlete who has completed the necessary hormone treatments for the necessary time would seem reasonable. When you look at the athlete in question and watch this athlete literally lap the natural female swimmers in the pool, winning by obscene amounts... the concept seems a little less straightforward.

I have a difficult time looking at this person (now lia Thomas) and not seeing male swimmer wearing a women's swimming suit. You can literally see that this is not a naturally born female athlete. It's impossible to see it any differently. To make matters worse, Thomas competed as a male at Penn State for three years before changing sexes. 

Now I watched a fluff piece on the local news here about this very subject. The argument was that the NCAA and the Penn Coaches and teammates were in favor of all this, so why is anyone upset. But the truth is that the NCAA is following guidelines, people close to the situation say that coach is obsessed with winning and this gives the team a better chance, and teammates and fans generally do not like the situation  and have complained behind the scenes. In fact, teammates and fans have taken to not even cheering the finish of Thomas, and then making an exaggerated point of cheering for the second place person as if they had won. 

On top of that at least 10 swimmers from the Penn team have quietly put together a complaint to the NCAA to change the rules to allow them to have a chance to compete. This was not brought up in the fluff piece. 

Ironically... the only time this person has been beaten was by another female swimmer who is transitioning to male, but has not yet gotten to the point of being eligible for the men's team. So that is where we are right now.

What we used to treat as mental illness we now celebrate as "woke."

These fucking weirdo's need to be laughed out of polite and civilized society.

Penn and the Ivy League have put out statements fully supporting this inclusion in women's sports. The NCAA irresponsibly has been silent.

And Michael Phelps just made a statement. But far too many swimming stars have slso been silent.

This is completely against what title IX was created for. It will destroy women's sports.

These fucking weirdo's need to be laughed out of polite and civilized society.

Not the students. It’s the collages and the NCAA responsible for the madness.

Trump Increasingly Upbeat About 2024
January 18, 2022 at 7:00 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 15 Comments

A year out of office, Donald Trump “feels increasingly emboldened to remain in politics after watching top Republicans bend to his will despite his role in the January 6 insurrection and because of the myriad challenges President Joe Biden has faced during his first term so far,” CNN reports.

One current Trump adviser said the former president was “still pretty dejected up until a few months ago, when his whole demeanor started changing the worse things became for Biden.” Only then, the adviser said, did Trump begin “seriously thinking about 2024 and what he needs to do this year so that he’s in a solid position for another campaign.”

Maybe Trump had better consider the fact that according to Real Clear Politics aggregate polling, he has an UNfavorable rating as high as Biden's at MINUS 10.7.

That was as of Jan. 11, 2022. No polls since then.
