Riley Gaines: ‘I Left There With No Trophy’ After Tie With Lia Thomas; Kentucky Standout Disappointed With NCAA

There should be a separate category for anyone who transitioned for make it fair and equitable for all athletes. I support anyone on where they want to be, but biology does not lie #science

This doesn’t work. F->M transgenders shouldn’t compete with females, due to the unfair advantage from the testosterone etc they take.

The only justifiable position is all trangenders compete as males.

Sex and gender are two completely different things.

Sex is science; gender is art.

The deciding factor should be whether you have a Y chromosome or not.

This is not an issue about disorders of sexual development. Most males, like Lia, who want to compete in Women’s sports, have normal, healthy XY bodies.

Exactly

Hey rocky…watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat

His name is Will Thomas. Don’t play into his little game by using the fake name “Lia”.

Will Thomas, pretending to be a woman, decided to not win to throw smoke. He threw the race. He came in fifth, because he laid back. He’s a cheat. He probably had a bet on the woman who won the race.

It’s all relevant u can’t talk about teams athletes without talking about biology but good try

Thats correct. I was simply commenting on the lazy answer the NCAA gave Riley in why Lia got to stand w the 5th place trophy and not her. That’s why i called them “cowards”. It was clear that the NCAA gave priority to Lia because of her being Trans even though the two swimmers tied for 5th. So doesn’t that throw the whole equality equation out the door???

This athlete at Yale has not yet taken any testosterone treatments at all, so this athlete is still a real girl. She has always been a very exceptional female swimmer and just barely missed making the NCAA championships last year before she even announced she was going to transition. Thus, her slight improvement over last year is just the result of her having worked very hard to improve herself, just like all other female swimmers. Please do not lump her into the same category as Lia Thomas. Personally, I hope she delays hormone treatments for another year so we can see what she can do with another year of training.

Whoa what an over dramatic way to put stars your false opinion. Not for nothing but since when did democracy mean for the few instead of the many. YOUR the very few yoyr exceptions to the rule. Why should the majority bend to your will instead of u bending to ours. U chose to be trans we didn’t n we the majority owe you the fringe Nothing not one day thing. Ur sacrifices r urs alone the majority will not bend to the will of the few ever. Sorry not sorry

Let transgender athletes compete against other transgender athletes. Let them have their own Olympics and what ever. This has gotten way out of control.

Transgender athletes can create their own sports teams and compete equally with each other. Women are being erased, when we are reduced to ‘cis-gender’.

Your way off base. I never said erase transgender, you did. Funny how that works. I think that Riley deserved to stand up there holding the 5th place trophy with LIA but the NCAA are too cowardly and afraid of the overreacting activists crowd so they basically told Riley to stand down. Tell me what is “fair” about that or “equal”….about that? You can save your pontificating for somebody else.

Trangender athletes don’t need to be erased. They just have to compete with males.

If you’re M->F then you have an unfair advantage against females due to being originally male.

If you’re F->M you have an unfair advantage against females because of the drugs you take to make you superficially more male.

It’s really quite simple.

Yes, go ahead and “erase” them – all of them.

Sounds like your mad at something. She got to swim and win. Maybe like baseball an asterisk should be used? Everyone knows its not a secret protected by HIPPA

You’re missing the point. Crying anti trans is a meaningless and manipulative argument used by the media and others. This isn’t a trans issue. It’s an issue of fairness and having a biological mail who has gone through make puberty and has obvious physical advantages take advantage of the system. Lia is a bad person enjoying this media circus and a poor sport. There is all this talk about how the team is forced to support Lia. I don’t see Lia being supportive of the other team members that he is stealing those wins and titles from.

how about as men they swim with their equals and stop bullying women???

How very silly and hysterical. No, we just want gender-dysphoric males to stop cheating. But that’s the trans playbook, isn’t it? Cheating.

No, that’s not the goal. The goal is to make athletics as fair as possible. I support transgender males and females, and I’m happy that there are options for these people to live in the body they feel most comfortable in (pardon that wording). However, there are innate biological differences between biological males and females, and in some cases this can give one an advantage. This is not true in all cases, but how do wee determine whether an athlete has an advantage due to biology. At this point, it’s not possible. This is not about discrimination against transgender people. It’s about fairness in an athletic event.

Thanks for your victimization and woke politics. No one is “erasing” transgender athletes. We have biological advantages as men, and therefore we have men compete against men and women compete against women. Just because someone feels they’re a women doesn’t make them a biological women. Facts are facts and if you weren’t an idiot you would know that by looking at chromosomes (XX = women; XY= men). Transgender athletes should compete in men’s divisions or if you want to be inclusive make a neutral division where trans-athletes can compete in fairness. However don’t bring your victim woke attitude and try and tell us its fair for a larger biological male athlete to compete in a women’s division.

Yes, I couldn’t have said it better!

There should be a trophy for fastest xx chromosomal and one for fastest xy chromosomal competitor. But don’t give the women’s trophy to someone that is mentally dissociative just because they refuse psychological help.

what does Trump have to do with this? Geez. Focus.
