Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas booed on podium after winning NCAA women's championship race — but runner-up receives loud cheers | Blaze Media

Controversy continued for transgender swimmer Lia Thomas — a biological male who identifies as a female — after winning the women's 500-yard freestyle at the NCAA championships Thursday in Atlanta. Thomas, who was favored to win the race, finished in 4:33.24 — the fastest time in the NCAA...

If a man wants tom pretend to be a woman, go for it. I like to pretend to I am James bond sometimes. We all should have the right to pretend.

But when this pretending hurts others. Like this dude taking away an award from a deserving woman, that is when I join the crowd booing your sorry pathetic arse.
 
I fully support trans rights

But this person should only compete with males
 

If the transphobes would put as much energy into stopping violence and bullying as they did into forcing trans athletes to compete as the gender they were assigned at birth, they might be more credible.

You're missing the point. What transphobes are doing is focusing on the campfire while deliberately ignoring the nearby forest fire.

I'll be more than happy to discuss the campfire as soon as the forest fire is out.

No. You can see both the campfire and the forest fire


You need only open your eyes

^ An example of a question that could be answered by Google.

If the person who asked them dislikes this response, too bad.

You are deliberately missing the point. If there's a little campfire and a roaring forest fire at the same time, which one are you going to be more concerned about?
 
Tough crowd to be a male in.

You believe we can only do one thing at a time


That is where you go wrong
 
the booers were likely the typical right wing racist trash.

To comment on that, even though I support trans, they have an unfair advantage playing in women's sports if biologically a male, its just biology. So I don't not believe they should compete against biological women.
 
Thanks for keeping us current on what the Blaze is reporting.

You lie and dodge the point because you and the transphobes want to hyperfocus on the campfire. Y'all don't care about the roaring forest fire.
 

How about trans women who have been receiving hormone therapy throughout adolescence? Yes, I am not talking about Lia here, but I am curious.

Name a lie I posted.

I will hold your feet to the fire when you make these claims

I support trans rights and my first post here reflected that

Really? Cause all I've seen you do is hyperfocus on the campfire of trans women athletes and ignore the forest fire of anti-trans bullying, discrimination, and violence.

I've literally never seen you call those things out with any kind of force.

I'm more than happy to discuss the campfire, but we need a lot more resources to put out the raging forest fire.

Transphobes want to put out the campfire and let the forest fire burn.

Ok well now we are discussing the campfire. Start a thread on the Forest fire


So do you support having this athlete compete as a woman?

And there it is. You won't admit you lied. Why can't you admit that some of us want to address both the campfire and the forest fire in their proper place? Focusing on the campfire while going hush-hush about the raging forest fire is just transphobic lunacy.

The pathological anti-LGBTQ hate from social conservatives

When I look and see the hate speech used against transgender people, it feels like deja vu. "There's something wrong with them," "they're 'grooming kids," "stop with the agenda," and other disgusting lies have all been used against gay people. Now that gays have a lot more rights, one would...

I say create a third unlimited competition class and keep separate records...

...or get over it.

I sometimes think if we spent half the energy and passion on research that we do on sports, we could be having this conversation from different planets.

Perhaps you can share some of your own efforts in this area. Do you patrol bathrooms? Volunteer security services in your free time?

I don't know how common that is but they probably would not have the unfair advantage of the added muscular development of a biological male. Although probably would be hard to enforce and put a clear rule in place.

I think there same issue is for biological females who a trans men taking testoterone, that can give an unfair advantage.

how many people does this even effect? How many trans people are also high end athletes? it's probably so minimal that it is a small price to pay for being trans, not being able to play competitive sports (probably fine for recreational leagues)
 
You cant answer the question


You just want to derail the thread


You support discrimination against women


And that is awful
