Cheating is cheating whether it's men on women's teams or doping. Gaines lost to a cheater. She, and anyone who wants fair sport and supports women's sports, should be upset. It's sad that there are people who continue to put men's rights over women's rights.

Gaines did not lose to Thomas. They were tied for 5th at NCAA. She never lost to a trans swimmer. She is still testifying in front of GOP lawmakers for the umpteenth time about how Thomas behaved in the locker room, because she has exhausted things to say.
So you approve of men with male genitalia parading in women's locker rooms. Do you want your daughter in those locker rooms, or your wife? Do you want your daughter to work hard for years to make an NCAA final and miss by one place because a man placed in front of her? Your dismissive attitude toward legitimate female athlete concerns is misogynistic.
Actual women need to grow a pair and stop playing with men.
If the women themselves don’t stand up for what’s right, then why should anybody else care?
It’s their choice, and they have made it.
You seem blithely unaware of the self contradictory idiocy in your post. If they’ve made their choice, why are you pendulating pointlessly like a poopsicle on an anonymous forum that no one cares about.
No. I will leave that decision to (1) the sports governing body (FIVB and USA Volleyball in this case) and (2) women who play with and against this player.
Fleming is eligible, according to the policies of NCAA, FIVB and USA Volleyball. She has strong support from her current and former teammates. (I checked comments and "likes" on her social media account.) No one complained about her for three seasons at two D1 schools until Reduxx doxxed her.
There are far more important issues that NCAA volleyball players and their coaches actually worry about. An above average player at MWC is not one of them. It's none of my business to tell them what is important for them.
You complain no one had a problem before this person was on their radar, bemoaning that people only care when it’s a high profile athlete. Then you say we shouldn’t care because this athlete is too low profile.
You can care and cry all you want, just that no one in the real world cares about your silly opinions.
It doesn't matter if he is dominating or not. He is taking a team spot, and maybe a scholarship, away from a woman.
Anybody who gets a team spot takes it from someone else, so there’s no problem there. You seem to be suffering from a mentally disorder relating to Thomas’ pronouns.

Fleming, not Thomas, though it’s all the same idiocy on these boards over and over, so all the same.
Men trying to play on women's sports teams is the most important issue the NCAA has to deal with. Hopefully, they will support women's sports and spaces and stop their misogyny.
According to who? The Great Cultural Warrior Riley Gaines who has appointed herself to be the expert on everything from the death of George Floyd to the recent school shooting in Georgia?

You really seem to have some type of a mental disorder. Have you seen a doctor? Thomas followed the rules of her sport. This is a women’s issue and has nothing to do with men’s rights. And also, you don’t matter at all.
Yes, it is a problem when a man takes a spot from a woman on a women's team. I don't care about his pronouns. I care about his sexual harassment of female athletes and the NCAA's, and your, acquiescence of his crime.
Thomas is the one with the mental disorder. It is called autogynephilia, a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as female.

No, you are the one with the mental disorder and probably vicarious autogynephilia. Just because you have a delusion about some woman being a man and are hallucinating some crime when no one has been convicted of one in this context doesn’t mean anyone in the real world needs to care.

"Female athletes need to speak out, men's opinion doesn't matter"
*Riley Gaines enters the chat*
"Noooo she doesn't count"
Oh no, she counts. Among hundred million+ women, she is one of a tiny handful that has spoken and is milking the attention. The average woman absolutely doesn’t care.
It is not a delusion that Thomas is a man. He was born a man and will always be a man. It is a delusion to think that he is a woman or can become a woman, especially when he is still sporting his junk.

You seem both deluded and ignorant of the modern world. Many people are born male but are a woman later or vice versa these days. Most anyone in any position of power or wealth or influence agrees with such people’s gender identification. So who’s the deluded one? Most of the world or some anonymous incel complaining about something that absolutely doesn’t affect their life and they absolutely don’t control?
So now you're speaking for all women? The female athletes I know do care about fair sport and opportunity and safe, private spaces. Autogynephilias are the ones milking attention.
Science does not support your ideology. The opinion of someone with wealth and power on this subject means nothing. Billionaires like Jennifer Pritzker and Martine Rothblatt and the "powerful" Rachel Levine are also autogynephiles using their wealth and power to persuade others that their fetish is somehow normal. They are the leaders of your cult.

You don’t know science from ideology. I’ve scolded you thusly many times previously. You seriously don’t know what science means.
Most of the rest of the world and the trans folk are living harmoniously. You don’t matter.
When all you have left is name calling and insults your argument is bankrupt. Most of the rest of the world knows that men are, and will always be, men and women are, and will always be, women. It's the facts of life.

Ha ha ha, that’s all a stupid incel on an anonymous board deserves. You can’t seriously think I’m interested in discourse with you.
