After a weekend destroying records in Akron, it appears it’ll take a historic performance from a biological female swimmer to knock off Lia Thomas — the Penn swimmer who spent three seasons swimming for the men’s team as Will Thomas before becoming a transgender swimmer for the women’s team — at the NCAA Championships in March.
Lia Thomas left Akron with the nation’s fastest 200 freestyle time, the nation’s top time in the 500 free & 1650 time that would’ve had Thomas in the finals at the 2021 NCAA Championships
Friday night in the 500 free, Thomas won the race by 12 seconds; she won the 200 free by seven seconds.
Anonymous quote from the Penn trans swimmer's teammate:
“Pretty much everyone individually has spoken to our coaches about not liking this. Our coach [Mike Schnur] just really likes winning. He’s like most coaches. I think secretly everyone just knows it’s the wrong thing to do,” the female Penn swimmer said during a phone interview.
“When the whole team is together, we have to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, go Lia, that’s great, you’re amazing.’ It’s very fake,” she added.

Excellent work, 79.
I saw a ridiculous quote from this courageous and inspiring woman earlier. Something along the lines of "Being trans doesn't stop me from competing in this sport." No shit, retard. It quite literally stops your opponents from competing.

That's fantastic. There's going to be such a backlash against this sort of stuff sooner or later.
They grew their hair out and everything. Isn't that enough?
NCAA rules require, I believe, a whole year of testosterone suppression before competing as a female.
Yeah, the articles say he competed as a guy in the 2019 season, took testosterone suppression for 2020 when the season was cancelled, and now is in the process of breaking all women collegiate records. Pretty cool.

I read that she is breaking records, and it made me think how chicks would slaughter me at swim meets, and i became embarrassed about it
“Usually everyone claps, everyone is yelling and cheering when someone wins a race. Lia touched the wall and it was just silent in there," OutKick’s source said during a phone interview.
When [Penn swimmer] Anna [Kalandadze] finished second, the crowd erupted in applause”
