How Women’s Swimming Got So Transphobic

[DigitalDrifter]

It's 'The Nation' magazine, so take it with a grain of salt.

Almost no other sport is as hostile to trans athletes—and that’s because its culture created the perfect conditions for transphobia to take root.​

When Lia Thomas first entered the women’s NCAA swimming scene in 2021, her presence was immediately felt. National media outlets became obsessed with her. She got the kind of attention rarely given to swimming athletes outside of the Olympics.

Thomas was good, but she wasn’t the next Simone Biles of her field. So what explained such a frenzy? Simple: Thomas was a transgender woman having success in the women’s division.

Swimming is a sport where the differences between men and women are extremely obvious. A mediocre male swimmer can absolutely smoke high level female swimmers. That's why the presence of trans athletes is so controversial in swimming. It's not fair at all. You might as well let trans women beat the fuck out of biological women in boxing.

Rational people are hostile to men competing in women's sports

Transgender is just a tool to divide while the real problem is ignored

If you're a biological male you have no business competing against biological females

Imagine actually accepting an award and being treated like you've done something impressive after being a dude that shredded a bunch of girls in physical competition.

It's a complete joke.

Women don't hate men. Women hate the fact that men beat women in swimming because they're faster and stronger and they have no business competing against women just because they call themselves female.

OMG....

 

[Dragonlady]

OMG....

So you’re admitting you have nothing. One trans swimmer finished just out of the medals in one race, and you’re now claiming that the whole sport is trans phobic as a result.

Keep showing us how smart you are sugar. It’s always a treat to watch you flailing about.

I've seen articles about it. Not sure how widespread it is. That it happens at all is bizarre.
