A few weeks ago one of their sprint coaches retired. Connection or coincidence?

A school record was broken.

Not all school records are created equal and the Rochester Institute of Technology is not a track powerhouse. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of women in the U.S. that can run faster than 41.8 for 300m.

Goes from 70th percentile for height to 100th percentile and gains a 7 percentage point advantage with regards to body fat without having to train.

The previous school record holder. She was 3rd at Indoor 200m in the conference last year. (34th in the regional.)

I keep wondering what the breaking point on this crap will be. It has to be coming at some point. My guess is it will be a woman/girl suffering a broken neck in a contact sport at the hands of a "fellow" woman/girl. In a non-dangerous sport like track or swimming, people can make just enough excuses for why it's okay to just not do anything about this.

Liberals will be here in a moment to tell you that this doesn’t really matter. But it does, it really does.

The breaking point was Lia Thomas winning the NCAA.

I’d go back to when Renée Richards made the 1977 US Open Women’s Doubles Championship at the age of 43. Even she acknowledges she crossed a line.
“Having lived for the past 30 years, I know if I'd had surgery at the age of 22, and then at 24 went on the tour, no genetic woman in the world would have been able to come close to me. And so I've reconsidered my opinion."

No, we probably won't. Except for a few lunatics.
Many, many of us (approaching "most of us") see the problem here. The polling bears that out, which I have shared many times before.
Don't divide society on this one. A stronger, more accurate play is to say, "On this issue, society is united, and that includes both Republicans and Democrats. We need to protect women's sports for XX humans."
That's the message that people need to hear; our elected officials, people who run state athletic associations and national and worldwide governing bodies, college administrators, parents, athletes, etc.

In the opposite directions. Richards winning the lawsuit opened the door for trans athletes' participation in women's sports.
Thomas winning in the pool had the opposite effect. That prompted FINA and USA Swimming to change their transgender policy, followed by World Athletics, UCI and other organizations. Thomas is the "reverse Jackie Robinson" of trans sports, whether she realizes it or not.

The thing that bothers me the most is how unethical this is on the part of the participants. Really, it's simply legalized cheating, for which I would feel terrible as a competitor. I can't imagine there would be much pride in it as well.
Sporting governing bodies have totally dropped the ball on it; and I'm really actually a pretty tolerant person, who is kind of centrist about most cultural issues. People have been so bullied about it--and are instantly deemed anti-trans (I'm not) or anti-LGBTQ (I'm not). So frustrating.

What Kind of ridiculous Statement is that? If you believe transwomen are real women then you cant oppose them taking part. If you dont believe this you are clearly antitrans
