Bravo! Finally people with skin in the game are taking a stand.
I cannot for the life of me understand why female competitors aren't protesting at the start line / blocks… refusing to start their race against trans athletes.
Female competitors NEED to speak up and stop worrying about the backlash.
Woke liberalism is more about western cultural destruction. How else to you explain such insanity?
i disagree with the idea of quiting in protest. you don't change things you disagree with by quiting. if the issue is important to her , she should stay in the game and use her influence to argue her point. probably she was already ready to go.

Fake news.
All the r/antiwork folks would tell you to quit at any sight of non-conformation with their cause.
Same goes if theres a man swimming in your womens meets - you should quit.
Good for her! Swimmers, runners, etc., should fail to enter events that allow trans athletes to compete against actual women. Only when event promoters lose money will this nonsense change…..
How old is this veteran of the sport? I'm a fan of leaving to make a statement, but if you could have retired years ago, this is really not much of a statement.
Good for her but until the competitors lining up next to her back off the start block at the gun in protest nothing will happen. The vis women don't care enough, it would appear, to do much beyond anonymous interviews.

She works at USA Swimming. She’s not an athlete
The kids are all too demoralized or indoctrinated to fight back, snd the parents are out to lunch. The rot runs deep.
I always wonder if resigning in protest is the best move.
It works when an institution dissolves from too many moving to another project.
I think staying and fighting makes more sense. Recall Justice Thomas in his appointment responding to his offenses this way.

The women aren’t gong to care until they start getting beat. When they start losing out on pay checks. Then you may see something. Until then may the best man win.
Lia should not compete against the women in the women's category.
I saw a video where Lia won very far ahead of the real women. When the first real woman reached the finish is when the cheers were heard loudly.
It's Lia's mental problem and he does not need to push his problem onto anyone else.
What is really sad is that there are a number of Women Sport Organizations that refuse to speak to this issue. In Canada, for example, "Canadian Women in Sport" a taxpayer funded organization that was founded to support girls and women in sport now seems more interested in throwing girls and women under the transgender bus.

She probably at the end of her rope dealing with insane leftists. A person can only handle so much.

Those organizations, and politicians, and sponsors, are exactly who should be speaking up for them.
Girls who trained their whole lives are not going to quit their sport and risk getting kicked out of school and doxxed and defamed by liberals. It just won't happen. They're terrified.
The people with power are doing nothing, even though they have much less to lose.

Yes, that's probably the case.
Regarding the athletes, they probably feel they have no choice regarding competing, because if they step off the line they might be barred from competing. However, I do feel they should speak up and let their true feelings be known when not in the competition venues.
There are no good reasons for a man to be competing in women's events.
The fans can help a lot with this too. Cheer the women, and be silent or boo to anyone who shouldn't be in there.

Swim out past the breakers and watch the world die.

Staying and fighting in this case isn't going to get her a newspaper article. And for all we know we cold have been fighting this for a good while and recognized it's not getting her anywhere. Maybe, maybe, some of those athletes and parents complaining anonymously or too intimidated to complain at all will follow her example and be a little less anonymous.
Because they are being bullied and coercred. This is all a radical ideological power play to put women in their place. Their own sh*thole school told them to seek emotional therapy when they uttered to mildest protest to this farce, which was misogynsitic stereotype until five minues ago.
