re: Trans swimmer Lia Thomas seeded #1

What the hell does this have to do with LSU?

They'd never do that. They would get crucified for not being "woke" enough.

Does shim swim for lsu?

I'm not going to tell someone how to feel about their gender or sexuality. But biology has to come into account for fair athletic competition. I don't see how it's considered fair to have a biological male competing with biological females in these kinds of competitions. If Lia wants to identify as female and wear female swim suits, fine ... but she should still be in the water racing against humans with similar biology: males.

You want to fix this, eliminate gender leagues across the board. No more men's or women's teams. They all play together. Then watch how fast the women rise up.

This raises an interesting question. What side of Title IX does Lia fall on? Does she count as a male athlete with the school required to use an equal investment in another female athlete? Or does she count as a female athlete consuming Title IX benefits as a biological male?

This is what it’s going to take for the trans sports movement to stop. Women are going to have to start speaking up but right now they are going along with it because it is new and rare.

You are probably still talking about a very small minority of people that will do this but if enough do it then women will finally start to push back.

Pat Forde's daughter okay with daughter racing trans swimmer

It does seem that he's not okay with it.
"Will Thomas was #65 in 500 free in 2018-19. Lia Thomas is #1 in the 500 free. So there has not been a complete mitigation of whatever physical benefits were accrued by being a man. The NCAA had a decade-old policy on testosterone levels and testing. They have realized that it’s probably outdated. In their attempts to update it, yes, they completely just abdicated and punted this all to USA Swimming, which has been working with FINA, which is the international governing body of swimming, on new transgender participation policy, which is expected out soon — like early February. And that policy will then be the USA Swimming policy which will then be the NCAA policy, which will tell us whether or not Lia Thomas will swim at the NCAA Championships in March."

THAT IS SAD.

This is all you need to know to say “well it’s obviously an advantage to be a man most of your life”
