Thomas plans to swim in the Olympics.

Thomas, who has applied to law school, now has her sights set on representing Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. But first she’ll swim in the NCAA Women’s Division I Swimming and Diving Championships starting on March 16 in Atlanta, where she’s favoured to win the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events.

Is that a serious question?

@Butterfly44

They need their own category - should add in two more along side male/female - transgender females and transgender males. Then it's fair.
Why? Is there a category for religious athletes? Or for Q Anon athletes? Or for athletes with body dysphoria?

”Thomas, an economics major originally from Texas, said she started questioning her identity while at Westlake High School in Austin.”

So late onset then. Certainly not a boy who believed he was a girl from a very young age.

Reminds me if the playground chant "Li-a, Li-a, yer bum's on fie-er!"

Lia is a liar. A man cannot be a woman.

It's going to take phenomenal self-sacrifice from women swimmers to put a stop to this. As every race starts, women placed against men need to sit down and refuse. Their replacements need to do the same. Audience members need to stand and turn their backs every time a man appears in a women's event.

“We’re not going to lose her”

“Not everyone has been supportive”

“Pushing back against critics”

Its Gold medal winning emotional manipulation.

No they won’t. And if it continues there will be no women in sport at all just cheating men.
Maybe that’s what it will take for the madness to stop. Women's sport just full of men.

Liar Thomas won’t like it once he’s beaten by other men.
