- Thomas' Division I win sparked debates regarding transgender women playing women's sports. The former UPenn swimmer says her transition has nothing to do with sports
When you compete against those who cannot compete on the same level as you, then sorry its not a huge feat. It's actually sad and that's not anti-trans that's just basic biological differences between female/male bodies.
It’s not a huge feat, it’s only huge feet
He couldn’t win against men. He shouldn’t be on the womens team he needs to be on a transgender team.
Bigot! Lol
EXACTLY
But trans women have been allowed to compete for a long time by ur logic they would be dominating u don’t care ur just transphobic
Did he just say that the reason he’s doing better in the women’s league than in the men’s is because he’s happy now? Who knew pure happiness alone could do that?
Put on a costume and pretend. This is ridiculous.
Must be all those unicorn dust pills he’s taking😒
What a clown of a MAN
As a male, happy or not, they tried their hardest and still came in the 400s! Body language suggest that saying "now I'm happy" bit is a lie and they know it.
As a man, he was not able to perform very well, and now he is winning against women, and that is what makes him happy. Not because he thinks he is a woman.
Give them their own category, Medically it is not fair and it's a joke to even pretend that it is. Anyone even remotely involved in the medical world knows this is utter lunacy.
@@L3GN5RW9 illegal??
They already have their own category. It’s called special olympics
@@davidpar2 Underrated AF
Can't do that because it's discrimination and not fair. Doesn't that make sense? Lol
that's a great idea. Everyone should be able to compete
As a former male professional athlete, this is wrong and unfair. A real woman has no chance against a ''man''. 💩😪
I was born a biological male; as I aged I entered many sports and contest. I could never win a trophy, all the guys were always faster, stronger and more agile than I was. I had an idea; I will chop off some of my parts, take some drugs, and change to a female. I now can say as time went by I entered an all-female weight lifting contest, an guess what? I won. Now I have a trophy on my shelf and proud of myself. Does anyone feel the one who came in second was the winner? I think that biological female persons should compete in sports in a fair manner, and those who are not should stay out. This is my opinion; but what do I know? I am now going down to the gym and lift weights with the gals. [[I’LL SHOW THEM A THING OR TWO]]
Thank you sir. He doesn’t belong in womens sports let them have their own category. Transwomen are NOT women they are trans.
@@angelacooper8973 100% true. We can tell that there are still intelligent people in this country; unfortunately they are not in Washington.
Lia still has all his parts.
Your correct !
Absolutely disgusting for him to be competing against women. For him to say trans men are not a threat to womens sports is as delusional as him thinking he’s a woman. He broke every woman’s swimming record in the events he competed in
failed men athlete going to females sport to feel like a winner, what a coward move
I’m happy and that’s all that matters, who cares about woman…is basically what he said. A sad time for real female athletes.
Ironically, he’s thinking like a woman. All about me myself and I.
failed men athlete going to females sport to feel like a winner, what a coward move
You NEED to question the mental health of the people calling him a woman
@Cayenne Captain ty
sorry about having to phase your kind out it’s just evolution bud don’t be bitter about it lol
Calling him..not her. Fixed it for ya
Did you really try to call it..a her? 🤭🤣
Calling her, not him. Fixed it back.
It takes real balls to compete on the women's team like that
💀
haha!
"She's" a FRAUD competing in women's sports.
😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If "transition had nothing to do with sports", why change from the men's to the woman's team? That has EVERYTHING to do with sports....
Cheating. Still a man. Everyone calling him a “her” is delusional
Transphobic much?
@@misschloee94 no just realistic
@@misschloee94 No, just a normal person who isn’t brainwashed by liberal politics.
@@misschloee94 Yes I am,thank you for noticing.
@@misschloee94 I need you to translate the foreign language you are texting in. I know it looks like English and has all the same letters and features of English, but I feeeel like it is a foreign language, therefore it is. Right?
You could not compete because you were a marginal swimmer, so now you can win? That is not a competition, it's unfair to those women who have worked all their lives for their sport. Shame on you. You deserve to be who you are, but NOT at the expense of others.
If there is no difference between men and women, make this guy swim in the men's league. If he is truly about his happiness, then it won't matter that he is ranked 462.
Wow its a dream come true to compete and win against women for him.
what makes you think she hasn't also worked her whole life? her existence as a competitive swimmer is not threatening anyone. sports has never been so serious that you are shaming someone for... what exactly? competing? winning?
If he wants to compete so badly let him swim with the men….. oh wait he can’t beat them. Have to swim with the ladies if he wants to win. This is sad.
EXACTLY!
You mean she
@@jurassicpark1fan920 No I mean HE. He is a man.
@@shocksemler8145 Clearly trans people don't see it that way.
@@jurassicpark1fan920 I don’t care how trans people see it. It is what it is. He’s a man.
He just dodged the question. Doesn't matter if you don't do it to win you still have the advantage.
If it were truly about his happiness, then he should be happy being ranked 462.
But it's about his ego. So he wants to be number 1
The thing is an idiot.. idiots don’t answer simple questions they tip toe which makes them idiots
This should be illegal
would it just be a fine or whatta we talking about here bud??
@@ghostrunnerco6791 not allowing them to participate. You ever seen what happens when a biological female becomes a trans man and joins a man’s sport?
@@ghostrunnerco6791 🤣 what?
Have respect for the women who are biological women who have trained their whole lives in sport of their choice. It makes you happy, what about these women you roll over? How selfish is that?
This guy's voice is deeper than optimus prime
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that? Thought something was wrong with my ears ... was about to book a hearing check
@@lynette397 😭😭🤣😂😂🤣
He thinks it sounds like Demi Moore !
Has a pair of balls to and a bat
Ridiculous. We fought for years before and after the 40's in time to get our rights. Now this dude takes our true potential away.
Seriously
Yes!
This person calling people transphobic for being concerned about transwomen competing in biological women's sport is the dumbest misogynistic thing I've heard in a while.
You can absolutely be a supporter of trans people but not in a cost of putting biological women down.
At this point, trans activists can’t stop shaming others of their actions so why should they have our support if they can’t support us having different beliefs?
i understand this, but given that trans female athletes undergo hormone treatment, the playing field is arguably leveled. even if it weren't, that's no excuse for what lia and people in similar situations have been subject to recently. this comment section is disheartening.
I like how he addressed the question of his unfair advantage by saying he was happier
Emphasis on "HE" was happier.
@@leifnerheim5552
Whoops 😬
Assigned male at birth😂 can’t take the real world huh
wait till you find out that science (the real world) recognizes the legitimacy of gender identify and dysphoria
This is NOT fair and Lia knows it! End of story
Lia Thomas is a joke. If she transitioned to be true to herself or to be happy.. Then she should be true to the sport instead of disgracing it
true
He* and himself* oh and his XY male his a man.
He*
This is infuriating. I used to swim competitively and guess what? Men are stronger and faster than women. Lia is a MAN cosplaying as a woman and crushing REAL women at the sport. It doesn't get any more misogynistic than that. Sorry Will (Lia's real name), you will never be a woman - you have gender dysphoria. Get some help, and leave women's spaces and sports to women. This nonsense almost makes me want to vote republican.
Me too, and I have never vote Republicans, but I am considering now.
cosplaying? lord....
Trans-women are NOT WOMEN.
STOP THIS BS.
Not to mention - he only started transitioning in 2020. This is a MAN competing in FEMALE COMPETITIONS.
He’s smiling all the time, duping the world must feel wonderful!
Not sure if it is duping delight or more of a psychopath
Until today's Announcement (banned if not transitioned before puberty)
@@vinniemascaro6649 He stopped smiling...? 😂 Gosh.
This guy is a sick narcissist, playing everyone for fools. The smile on his face is a dead giveaway that this one big con game he is playing.
she*
Shame on UPenn for allowing Thomas to compete on the women's team. Of course, if the NCAA had any backbone or even an ounce of integrity they'd simply institute chromosomal testing and say if an athlete has a Y chromosome they may only compete in men's sports.
Well said.
Thomas said he was depressed and after the transition , became happy. Wouldn’t you be happy if you went from being a mediocre athlete to dominating the sport!! Trans women are still men!! Its wrong and it’s cheating REAL women out of all their hard work.
His reason to transition matters not.
Give them their own swim meets
She*
Her*
@@Crystal_waters That's a man.
@@veeay-k8398 No really I didn’t know! Ofc she’s a man !
how many swimmers would participate such swimming meet?
Of course its unfair to compete. What nonsense. Selfish and entitled to put your happiness over the right of women to compete fairly in their own spaces. Shameful and delusional.
Selfish and entitled is a common trait among women nowadays, so Thomas here is a woman in that sense.
Trans need to compete with trans. Not fair for the lovely lady’s to compete with a man. Make a trans league and have them compete with each other.
Name = Lia Catherine Thomas
Nationality = American
Gender = Male
3 indisputable facts
HRT and long hair should not make you eligible to compete against women. This person isn't even intersex.
Make him swim with the men. Can't wait to hear about the unfair advantage he'll be facing.
I'd shave his head bald in his sleep and make him man the up
I love how these reporters and websites have to tip toe around the obvious just so there politically correct when they know it’s wrong 🤣🤣🤣
They know this is utterly ridiculous, but have to be politically correct.. 🤦🏽
I would feel so foolish.
He. He is making history being the first man allowed to race with women and cheat in professional sports.
When he swam against men he was ranked 462. Now he swims against girls.
1. This is not a “her.”
If he believes this he should be smacked by Will Smith
Just call us WOMEN. not cis women. Please.
Exactly, I don't go along with all of the nonsense of cis women. I am just a women, period! I born as a woman, live as a woman, and until my last breath I will be a woman.
I'm only happy winning against female swimmers. I was sad when I lost against male swimmers. 'what' a joker.
Buffoon for the sheepworld - that’s what counts !!
So if regular people identify as handicapped can they compete in the special Olympics?
Don't give this Lia Thomas any ideas lol, he might put it as his plan B
@@strawberrysoup202 Plan C, this was his plan B when he realized he couldn't cut it.😂
"Rhetoric." You mean biological facts.
Nonsense, this is a huge insult for women athletes
It’s amazing he thinks he won anything. But then again, he doesn’t even know what a woman is.
He is not elite in anyway. He is a failed e
male swimmer so He unfairly competes against women.
This is so unfair on so many levels!!!
This man is competing on a WOMAN'S TEAM because he's to weak to be on A MAN's TEAM!!!
You're not being yourself. You couldn't cut it in a men's competition you so decided to take the cheap way out and became a whaman, and got on the swim team. Pretty pathetic
Dude, have you no shame?
Shake your head. Shame on you.
"The biggest change for me, is that I'm happy and the heck with everyone else " That's all HE had to say.
He pretty much dodged every question in order to justify himself
He is a fraud
I heard that Tom Brady is now identifying as a 6th grader.
He is going to be such an amazing athlete in the Jr High level football league.
And all of you bigots out there judging him…..IT IS HOW HE IDENTIFIES AND HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE WITH HOW HE FEELS!!!!
This is an example of someone that thinks the world revolves around them
Yikes so selfish.... it matters that he's happy, but everyone else upset yikes
He has an unfair biological advantage. He's actually a dinosaur, a Transasaurus Wrecks.
cutting edge comedy bruh
You don't like trans people? Lia Thomas is a she. Deal with it.
@@ghostrunnerco6791 maybe I'll send that to Dave Chappelle
He sure still sounds like a man
Why stop here? Maybe you can feel like a ten year old and take over little league too. The sky’s the limit! 👏🏻👏🏻
I can't understand why transgenders athletes don't want to compete against transgender athletes.
Thats a man
How dare you state the truth, transphobe.
I'm proud of this comment section so far
How is this not cheating ? This is highest level of stupidity to allow this. Feeling bad for people living in a sick society like this.
Is this a comedy skit
💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, especially the idea that this is legitimate reporting
If I compete against a 10 year old kid and I win, does that make me a winner? This man needs to be arrested for numerous things, including voyeurism, and everything else inside of a woman’s locker room.
I love how this full on dude just towers over all the girls. Can’t believe this is what the worlds come to.
I fully support Trans. But shame on you if you can’t see the obvious physical advantage Thomas has over biological women. I mean just LOOK at her/him? Give these trans people their own category of competition, just like the para-olympics
He doesn’t even look like a woman.
Ok so the comments are OVERWHELMINGLY against this clown and the utter mockery he made out the women’s collegiate swimming championship this year. NCAA take notice you’re on the wrong side of this issue. PROTECT WOMEN’S SPORTS!
Its He, He is not a she , He is a Man no woman
Transphobic
@@misschloee94 use all the insults you want. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. This guy is cheating
@@misschloee94 A phobic is a fear. Nobody fears these people. Try using actual words that work for your robotic responses.
Nope. She's met all requirements in the rules. You just don't like it because transgender people make you uncomfortable.
@@professionalspinner9292 that is the most idiotic comment I’ve read. I’m sure you’ll match that comment too.
He didn’t win the girl did but the stupidity prevailed.
Perhaps Thomas is too young to have any insight into the moral absurdity of this situation; perhaps it has been necessary for Thomas to create a new 'self-truth' in order to psychologically survive; perhaps Thomas will realise, at some point, that the overt negation of the rights and dreams of MULTIPLE other humans - in order to exclusively champion one's own 'rights' and dreams - is immoral and unacceptable.
Guys, the important thing is that he was sad losing against men but now he's happy winning against women. I can't believe he just flat out said that 😂😂😂
Quit if she transitioned to be happy then quit swimming and be happy.
Yes, swim for fun or become a swimming teacher.
If the people let this happen it will keep getting worst
Itz being codified and normalized. Soon, so-called trans individuals will be a protected category in all 50 states, and written in federal law. The Supreme Court will support it. Just watch.
I'm a woman. I was born a woman. It's my birthright
Yes! We will not be erased! This is a man and I refuse to call him “she.” Give back the trophies and then we’ll talk. Maybe.
I actually am grateful to Lia Thomas. He's doing more to red-pill people than anyone else
Bruh Lia is a girls name you referred to her as a him on accident pretty sure
You triggered? You posting on every comment.
@@chattle4639 No, a woman is just nature. crazy people out here
This guy named Lia Thomas is cheating. Go against the guys since it's not about winning.
Ghostrunner CO yeah, I’m sure the op referred to a he as a he “on accident.” Sure, dude 😆
You don’t need permission to do what you love UNLESS you love stealing womens rights
IF I CANT WIN MAN SPORTS, I'LL BEAT WOMAN SPORTS
That’s not a woman ITSS AA MAANN
Shameful and unfair. A man robbing years of hard work from a deserving female athlete.
Are we living in the era of the emperor’s new clothes? This is not a woman
Probably was the worst swimmer on the men’s team
Delusion
What a selfish man.
That’s a man. I don’t care what anyone says.
He's not an elite swimmer cause he is swimming against women not men it's called biology
He still looks like a dude
He should be on Saturday Night Live if he believes this
brilliant 👍
I love you for calling him a he . Y'all hear the voice ? Them calling him a a she is sad
@@pryingopenmythirdeye1830 she is a she stop being transphobic
@@skibititoiletrizzler you brainwashed fool
He’d fit right in. SNL has become an embarrassment.
He needs to stop.
It must be depressing to know that you're so weak in a particular sport that you have to compete against women.
Happy? Authentic?
More like disgraceful and confused.
This 'person'took a short cut and won in a class that shouldn't include HIM.
Ridiculous that ANYONE would allow it
It's not "she"!!!
I don't need anyone's permission to think He is disturbing
Trans women shouldnt compete against biological women. Period. Maybe just give them their own league or something
THIS IS AN SNL SKIT FROM LIKE 10 YEARS AGO. LOL. WHAT A JOKE.
You shouldn't be competing with real women. If you want to be happy then be happy but don't destroy woman's sports. The NCAA should be boycotted and sued over their absolute neglect to protect the real women of women sports. Oh and by the way I don't think the World Olympic Committee is going to feel the same way as the NCAA.
It is not "phobic" to refer to people according to physical reality rather than what they happen to prefer.
Whether or not it’s “phobic” to refer to men as men and women as women isn’t even a valid question.
He sounds and looks like a male to me man….. his size and height alone makes it an unfair competition with real females.
He should compete in men’s sport. If you have the physical body of a man, you gotta compete with the men.
Drives me nuts that everyone refers to him as a she.
He's a nutcase
What is this man doing in woman sports? How much of a low life must someone be to even consider doing this? How can someone be so miserable in their personality? He should go to jail.
