HORRIBLE: Biological male allowed to dominate women’s swimming at University of Pennsylvania

Another biological male is dominating female sports and this time it’s at the University of Pennsylvania:

A 22-year-old transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania continued her dominant performance this season — setting numerous pool, meet and program records at a three-day event in Ohio last weekend.

Lia Thomas blew away her competition Friday night in the 500-yard freestyle preliminaries and finals at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron, according to results posted by the school.

In the finals, Thomas notched a winning time of 4:34.06 — good enough for a new Ivy League record.

The swimmer continued smashing records on Saturday with a nearly 7-second victory in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:41.93 — representing the fastest finish in the country, the school said.

Over the weekend, Thomas also set a new program, meet and pool record in the 1650-yard freestyle. She finished that race in 15:59.71 — more than 38 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, teammate Anna Kalandadze.

Before her transition, Thomas competed for two full seasons at Penn as a man. NCAA rules mandate at least one year of testosterone suppression treatment to be eligible to compete as a woman.

“(Swimming) is a huge part of my life and who I am. I’ve been a swimmer since I was 5 years old,” Thomas told Penn Today last June.

“Being trans has not affected my ability to do this sport and being able to continue is very rewarding.”

Thomas was actually competing in male sports at UPenn before he transitioned and now the university is allowing him compete against women and dominate them. I can’t think of anything more egregiously unfair to the women who’ve worked hard to compete in this sport. But I’m sure they can’t say anything for fear of being canceled by the school for being a bigot or politically incorrect.

There are many absurd things in this world that I don’t like but few really get my goat like this does. The unfairness of it just grates me and I hope more states like Texas and Florida ban biological males from competing in women’s sports.
