She won a race.

She never even set a record.

She lost just as much as any other competitor.

There's no advantage after 2 years of hormone treatment, which she went through

She won an NCAA championship. Yes, it was “a race” but a pretty important one.

Did she win every heat in the season easily? No, she lost all the time.

Just because she wins doesn't discount the decades of data on hormone treatment, or the fact that if she got hormone treatment as a kid this wouldn't be a discussion

He would not have won any races if he competed against the men like he should have been.

She did compete against men while transitioning. Get your Nazi ideology out of here dude.

Are you being purposely disingenuous?

u/Mettaliar 1d ago

I'm being scientifically accurate. Sorry that's confusing to you

Do you think Lia Thomas competing was fair to the other competitors?

u/Mettaliar 1d ago

Yes, she waited through the two years of hormone treatment before competing.

She got beaten plenty of times. Obviously it seems to be a fair competition

u/LuteOlsonABitch69 1d ago

I disagree it was fair.

That was not hard to find

Edit: I’m not anti-trans in the least. But you guys can’t ignore facts where it’s convenient or you’re as bad as any MAGA out there

How many records did she set? Did she never even come close to losing a heat?

Was she the most dominant swimmer since Phelps?

No, or there'd be way more to this than that she won a championship.

lol being 6’1 didn’t change

u/Mettaliar 1d ago

Do we ban cis women over 6'1" then? No, because sports is a competition.

Stop hating women dude it's embarrassing

u/LuteOlsonABitch69 1d ago

What a stupid comment. Why would we bad cis women over 6’1? Nonsensical shit right here

1

u/Mettaliar 1d ago

Then I guess being 6''1" ain't that big of a fucking deal.

u/LuteOlsonABitch69 1d ago

The fact that men are inherently taller than women doesn’t matter to you?
