I hope sanity returns sometimes soon.
Men competing against women...and breaking women's records.
You want to pretend you are a woman and dress up like one...have at it. Very few care.
You want to pretend you are a women and compete against them in WOMEN's sports sorry pal. A bridge too far.
It is a farce. And too many people won't say anything because they don't want to be called a bigot or whatever.
After the race, the teammate said, Thomas could be overheard bragging, 'That was so easy, I was cruising,' before adding, 'At least I'm still No. 1 in the country.'

At some point women need to stand up and say enough.
Right now the pressure is on these women to shut up.
In the week after the Zippy Invitational, two of Thomas' female UPenn teammates anonymously spoke out about their frustrations of having a transgender teammate, despite the entire team being 'strongly advised' not to speak to the media.
One of the swimmers told sports website OutKick that UPenn swimmers were upset and crying as they knew their times were going to be obliterated by her.
'Usually everyone claps, everyone is yelling and cheering when someone wins a race,' she said of the Zippy Invitational. 'Lia touched the wall and it was just silent in there. When fellow Penn swimmer Anna Kalandadze finished second, the crowd erupted in applause.'
Parents of the UPenn women's swim team are demanding the NCAA change rules that have permitted transgender swimmer Lia Thomas to compete.
