New in PJ Media:
Lia Thomas is a dude who claims to be a woman, and since that claim is the gateway to adulation, praise, and fame and fortune nowadays, Thomas has been reaping the benefits in a big way. On Thursday, according to NBC New York, he “took control in the final 100 yards of the 500-yard freestyle to make history Thursday as the first transgender woman to win an NCAA swimming championship.” Yet while most of the woke and conformist world was celebrating Thomas for making history, some genuine women are unhappy with the pretense, and are speaking out as never before.
NBC reported, with barely concealed contempt, that “there were fewer than 10 protesters outside the Georgia Tech facility, and some carried banners which read ‘Save Women’s Sports’ in the stands.” Those racist (since everything is racist now), redneck yahoos! Why, women’s sports is positively thriving when an aspiring woman such as Lia Thomas can so easily vault to the top of her chosen field!
But back in the real world, it’s not all smiles at history being made. The swimmers who finished behind Thomas grouped together for the NCAA photo of the winners, leaving Thomas, who towers over them all, alone on the other side of the stage, clearly signaling that the others do not believe that he is one of them.
Another indication that Lia Thomas isn’t as popular with his peers as he is with the establishment media came from an interview feminist activist Savanah Hernandez conducted with an unnamed female swimmer right outside the McAuley Aquatic Center at Georgia Tech, the site of the NCAA championships this year.
“It’s a common conception,” said the swimmer, “that we’re all very disappointed and frustrated with someone who has capabilities more than us women have to be able to compete at this level and take opportunities away from other women.” It was noteworthy that she didn’t make any effort to conform to woke pieties and insist that Lia Thomas, despite all indications to the contrary, was really a woman. She even went on to point out that Thomas had taken a spot away from a real woman: “I have a teammate who did not make finals today because she was just bumped out of finals. It’s heartbreaking to see someone who went through puberty as a male, and has the body of a male, be able to absolutely blow away the competition.”
The swimmer added that Thomas’ very participation had a demoralizing effect on the actual female swimmers: “And you go into it with the mindset that you don’t have a chance. It’s hard to compete against someone with the aerobic capacity, the muscle development, the body of a man. It’s hard; it’s hard to think about it like that. It’s disappointing to see and frustrating.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Roland says
This is so bizarre. The University of Pennsylvania should never have permitted this disturbed young man to compete in women’s sports or validated his delusions. Cowardly administrators, from the University President on down, failed to deal decisively with this case. They have invited public contempt. What ever happened to the Ivy League ideals of gentlemanly competition?
Andrew Blackadder says
Meanwhile feminist are still screaming that America is a sexist rape culture and that the previous President grabbed women ,when in FACT he said they LET him….
I suggest that when all the girls are lined up ready for a race, ready, steady … GO… and ALL the young girls stand perfectly still until this ”person/he/she/they/them/it ” finish their swim, run,jump and then precede with the race without them.
Though this ”person”, this guy, will not feel embarrassed as obviously that has been noticed, but it makes a clear statement to the Officials that this idea of this swimmer dude walking around the girls Locker Room, naked, when he still has a Penis is bordering on sexual assault.
Jim says
This is an example of a fad, like belief in witchcraft, UFOs, Big Foot or other impossible things. The left is nearing the peak of its power to define reality, and hopefully its house of cards will come crashing down, bringing Lia Thomas with it. His life will be a life of shame because he failed to use common sense and a sense of fairness. Sport is nothing if it has no fairness. Lia Thomas is like the charioteer who whips his competitor in hopes of getting an advantage that will carry him to victory. But instead it will leave him looking guilty and deserving to be shamed.
John Allan says
HE claims he’s a SHE! Evidently, the NCAA sees HIM as a HER!
Perhaps the NCAA executive should introduce events, especially for cross-genders (they can make up the numbers, themselves)!
And leave the women’s events … to WOMEN!
Wellington says
With the exceedingly rare exception of being born an hermaphrodite, everyone else is male or female and asserting otherwise is a lie. If one thinks they are the other gender, this is a disorder to be sympathized with and not a lifestyle to be applauded.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
100% true.
And the people in the “trans” communities are lying to themselves – which is now socially acceptable and even encouraged.
PRCS says
Members of many communities lie to themselves.
Muslims come to mind, and they too are lauded by the uninformed.
Don McKellar says
If only the women competing in one national sport would all get together and refuse to compete as one solid block, this whole fiasco would soon be over and women’s sports would be saved. From this moment on, every woman swimmer should stand up for reality. And never,ever give in until this stops. It would be one of the greatest, bravest moments of their lives.
PRCS says
Not just swimming.
Track and field events.
Daniel Triplett says
Yes, that’s what really needs to happen here. Girls/Ladies across ALL sports, and the girls’ parents, must unite as a labor union would and demand an end to this nonsense, right now. The girls must refuse to even line up at the blocks or step on to the court or the field. I’m all for helping them, but they must be willing to stand up for themselves and what is right. That’s a lesson at least as important as the life lessons they gain from competing in sports.
somehistory says
Perhaps those guys he formerly competed against said, ‘Will, you swim like a girl, ha ha ha,’
and he just couldn’t take that…until he decided that he was a ‘girl’ for the purpose of winning at something.
He knows full well that he is not female. The real girls in the locker room know it too, and they know it isn’t right that he gets to compete against them. One young swimmer, on camera, said that many others would like to speak on camera, but are afraid.
so many are afraid to tell the Truth…about anything and everything. This is one example of people being afraid to speak the Truth, because they will be labeled as trouble-makers of one sort or anther.
Just goes to show, to demonstrate for all thinking people to see, who is in control of speech…the liar and his ‘family.’
somehistory says
Those lying about this guy, denying that people can’t change their gender, try to weaponize their denial by calling those who speak Truth, “racists” and “bigots,” and putting out “misinformation or disinformation.”
And, imo, there is no such thing as “misinformation or disinformation.” The reasoning being: information is “fact” and the “mis and dis” are defined as “false information.” One cannot really have a “false fact.” Because “fact’ is “fact.”
The name calling and the threats of losing out, losing a job or position or being on a team, are all, like the mozlum “phobia,’ to shut up people who speak the Truth.
This name-calling and threats from these people, demonstrate that they are on the same “team” as are mozlum terrorists and their supporters.
Alan Ware says
It is time real women boycott any event that has pseudo female contests. 3rd rate male athletes should hang their heads in shame
tim gallagher says
Transgender athletes need to compete against other transgender athletes. There is no way that they should be allowed to compete against women and girls. This garbage could end up killing women’s sport as it is a waste of time for the genuine females to try to compete against the transgender athletes. It is a disgrace that this crap has been allowed to continue for as long as it has.
somehistory says
the * real* girls could start their own…again…and call it “non-trans-true-female” sports.
The *trans*…the pretenders are not “transitioning” …impossible to do that…won’t ever admit that they don’t qualify to compete with those who really are female. they want the attention and they want to win.
somehistory says
will, the lying pretender, lost in the 200…came in at 5 in a tie with a real girl. A real girl won in the one where the pretender arrived first, because it’s “women’s sports” and he ain’t one. (Ikt ain’t is not a proper word, but I’m using it to make a point.)
tim gallagher says
I can’t believe that this nonsense will continue, somehistory. It is so obviously and completely unfair to the women and girls, so I think, over time, the women will get organised enough to put an end to this totally unfair sport scene where the genuine women have no chance of winning. Transgender people have to have their own competitions even though there would obviously be a tiny number of competitors. The current situation is a bad joke..
somehistory says
I agree, Tim. It is devilish nonsense; anything and everything to cause people to dwell in darkness.

He finished with a loss…in 8th place. ha ha ha….he didn’t deserve to compete with the women. Guess he now knows girls swim better.
Kenneth J Johnson says
I’ll bet the homosexual community will reject guys like this. Homosexuals are at least honest about themselves. KEN

Pretty soon, this whole transgender thing is going to destroy professional golf – as long as they still have men’s tees and ladies’ tees.

Wellington says
Wow, James, even golf will be ruined. This trans stuff is the emperor with his new clothes on and so many are too scared to call the emperor out and say that he is naked. What a destructive pretend game all this is.
tgusa says
He was a mediocre male swimmer at best and so he pretends to be a woman to get a trophy. His Mom And Dad must be so proud. US Colleges for the most part are driven by left wing ideology. Strong women, we hear about it all the time from the left and so I have to ask, where are all the strong women at? My mother was a college swimmer who was an Olympic alternate but never got the call to compete. She also did a lot of modeling for magazines while raising three boys. Yeah, she was a genuine strong American female.
I know there are good strong American women out there so why are they allowing these creeps on the left to push them around like some hard line imam? This male swimmer is manhandling them and I don’t hear much about that. Just because you think you are a woman, or a man, doesn’t make you one.
somehistory says
Because they don’t want to be labeled as “racist” or with some kind of phobic bias; to be seen as a poor loser. It’s fear of what those who insist a guy can become a girl and a girl can become a guy…where are the girls who pretend to be guys wanting to compete against the men?…will do to them if they complain or resist.
I recall something from many years ago. There was a woman who was a bodybuilder…built like a guy who had used too many barbells and was all muscle. The person doing an interview said, “You don’t think she’s feminine? Just listen.”
And the woman said, in a husky, somewhat masculine voice, “I think I’m feminine.”
tgusa says
I grew up in an America where the saying, sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me, was predominant. I don’t understand. I have had people call me names in my life and I always resorted to saying something in return that drove the person calling me names in the first place to become almost uncontrollably angry. I have always fought fire with fire. Its just the way that I am. The only thing I ever felt bad about when doing that is I enjoyed it perhaps a little too much.
somehistory says
Yes, I recall “I’m rubber and you’re glue,” and some other things, “I eat ketchup, ..”
I have been called names .and at times, I just ignored the person speaking. None of the things I have been called has ever prevented me from doing what I have needed to do, or taken away any ability I might possess.
We grew up in a different universe, it seems.
Daniel Triplett says
FACTS: (per US Women’s Swim Team)
Male swimmers are 10% faster than women.
Full Testosterone suppression with Estrogen replacement slows a male swimmer 3%, meaning a full “trans” swimmer is still 7% faster than biological women.
This Lia Thomas is turning faster swim times than Katie Ledeky, the US Olympic women’s swimmer who’s won more Gold Medals than any other female swimmer in world history.
Trans “men to women” competing against women would be unfair even if they go full trans and get all their male organs surgically removed. But what makes the Lia Thomas situation even more disgusting and appalling is that he still has his penis and testicles. Moreover, he’s allowed to undress and take communal showers with all the rest of the girls in the locker room, and the coaches require the girls to just STFU about it and not say a word. He’s even admitted that he still gets attracted to girls:

Apparently, swimmer Lia Thomas does not feel the least bit of shame accepting all of those fraudulently won trophies…

Liar Thomas is a ball bearing female impersonator.
