- Thomas' Division I win sparked debates regarding transgender women playing women's sports. The former UPenn swimmer says her transition has nothing to do with sports
As a former male professional athlete, this is wrong and unfair. A real woman has no chance against a ''man''. 💩😪
I was born a biological male; as I aged I entered many sports and contest. I could never win a trophy, all the guys were always faster, stronger and more agile than I was. I had an idea; I will chop off some of my parts, take some drugs, and change to a female. I now can say as time went by I entered an all-female weight lifting contest, an guess what? I won. Now I have a trophy on my shelf and proud of myself. Does anyone feel the one who came in second was the winner? I think that biological female persons should compete in sports in a fair manner, and those who are not should stay out. This is my opinion; but what do I know? I am now going down to the gym and lift weights with the gals. [[I’LL SHOW THEM A THING OR TWO]]
Thank you sir. He doesn’t belong in womens sports let them have their own category. Transwomen are NOT women they are trans.
@@angelacooper8973 100% true. We can tell that there are still intelligent people in this country; unfortunately they are not in Washington.
Lia still has all his parts.
Your correct !
When you compete against those who cannot compete on the same level as you, then sorry its not a huge feat. It's actually sad and that's not anti-trans that's just basic biological differences between female/male bodies.
It’s not a huge feat, it’s only huge feet
He couldn’t win against men. He shouldn’t be on the womens team he needs to be on a transgender team.
Bigot! Lol
EXACTLY
But trans women have been allowed to compete for a long time by ur logic they would be dominating u don’t care ur just transphobic
Give them their own category, Medically it is not fair and it's a joke to even pretend that it is. Anyone even remotely involved in the medical world knows this is utter lunacy.
@@L3GN5RW9 illegal??
They already have their own category. It’s called special olympics
@@davidpar2 Underrated AF
Can't do that because it's discrimination and not fair. Doesn't that make sense? Lol
that's a great idea. Everyone should be able to compete
Did he just say that the reason he’s doing better in the women’s league than in the men’s is because he’s happy now? Who knew pure happiness alone could do that?
Put on a costume and pretend. This is ridiculous.
Must be all those unicorn dust pills he’s taking😒
What a clown of a MAN
As a male, happy or not, they tried their hardest and still came in the 400s! Body language suggest that saying "now I'm happy" bit is a lie and they know it.
As a man, he was not able to perform very well, and now he is winning against women, and that is what makes him happy. Not because he thinks he is a woman.
You NEED to question the mental health of the people calling him a woman
@Cayenne Captain ty
sorry about having to phase your kind out it’s just evolution bud don’t be bitter about it lol
Calling him..not her. Fixed it for ya
Did you really try to call it..a her? 🤭🤣
Calling her, not him. Fixed it back.
Absolutely disgusting for him to be competing against women. For him to say trans men are not a threat to womens sports is as delusional as him thinking he’s a woman. He broke every woman’s swimming record in the events he competed in
Cheating. Still a man. Everyone calling him a “her” is delusional
Transphobic much?
@@misschloee94 no just realistic
@@misschloee94 No, just a normal person who isn’t brainwashed by liberal politics.

This should be illegal
would it just be a fine or whatta we talking about here bud??
@@ghostrunnerco6791 not allowing them to participate. You ever seen what happens when a biological female becomes a trans man and joins a man’s sport?
@@ghostrunnerco6791 🤣 what?
I’m happy and that’s all that matters, who cares about woman…is basically what he said. A sad time for real female athletes.
Ironically, he’s thinking like a woman. All about me myself and I.
If "transition had nothing to do with sports", why change from the men's to the woman's team? That has EVERYTHING to do with sports....
It takes real balls to compete on the women's team like that
💀
haha!
"She's" a FRAUD competing in women's sports.
😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy's voice is deeper than optimus prime
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that? Thought something was wrong with my ears ... was about to book a hearing check
@@lynette397 😭😭🤣😂😂🤣
He thinks it sounds like Demi Moore !
Has a pair of balls to and a bat
If he wants to compete so badly let him swim with the men….. oh wait he can’t beat them. Have to swim with the ladies if he wants to win. This is sad.
EXACTLY!
You mean she
@@jurassicpark1fan920 No I mean HE. He is a man.
@@shocksemler8145 Clearly trans people don't see it that way.
@@jurassicpark1fan920 I don’t care how trans people see it. It is what it is. He’s a man.
This person calling people transphobic for being concerned about transwomen competing in biological women's sport is the dumbest misogynistic thing I've heard in a while.
You can absolutely be a supporter of trans people but not in a cost of putting biological women down.
At this point, trans activists can’t stop shaming others of their actions so why should they have our support if they can’t support us having different beliefs?
He just dodged the question. Doesn't matter if you don't do it to win you still have the advantage.
If it were truly about his happiness, then he should be happy being ranked 462.
But it's about his ego. So he wants to be number 1
The thing is an idiot.. idiots don’t answer simple questions they tip toe which makes them idiots
He is a fraud
Lia Thomas is a joke. If she transitioned to be true to herself or to be happy.. Then she should be true to the sport instead of disgracing it
true
He* and himself* oh and his XY male his a man.
He*
You could not compete because you were a marginal swimmer, so now you can win? That is not a competition, it's unfair to those women who have worked all their lives for their sport. Shame on you. You deserve to be who you are, but NOT at the expense of others.
If there is no difference between men and women, make this guy swim in the men's league. If he is truly about his happiness, then it won't matter that he is ranked 462.
Wow its a dream come true to compete and win against women for him.
Assigned male at birth😂 can’t take the real world huh
This is NOT fair and Lia knows it! End of story
Have respect for the women who are biological women who have trained their whole lives in sport of their choice. It makes you happy, what about these women you roll over? How selfish is that?
This is infuriating. I used to swim competitively and guess what? Men are stronger and faster than women. Lia is a MAN cosplaying as a woman and crushing REAL women at the sport. It doesn't get any more misogynistic than that. Sorry Will (Lia's real name), you will never be a woman - you have gender dysphoria. Get some help, and leave women's spaces and sports to women. This nonsense almost makes me want to vote republican.
Me too, and I have never vote Republicans, but I am considering now.
Ridiculous. We fought for years before and after the 40's in time to get our rights. Now this dude takes our true potential away.
Seriously
Yes!
His reason to transition matters not.
Give them their own swim meets
She*
Her*
@@Crystal_waters That's a man.
@@veeay-k8398 No really I didn’t know! Ofc she’s a man !
how many swimmers would participate such swimming meet?
Of course its unfair to compete. What nonsense. Selfish and entitled to put your happiness over the right of women to compete fairly in their own spaces. Shameful and delusional.
Selfish and entitled is a common trait among women nowadays, so Thomas here is a woman in that sense.
I like how he addressed the question of his unfair advantage by saying he was happier
Emphasis on "HE" was happier.
@@leifnerheim5552
Whoops 😬
1. This is not a “her.”
Thomas said he was depressed and after the transition , became happy. Wouldn’t you be happy if you went from being a mediocre athlete to dominating the sport!! Trans women are still men!! Its wrong and it’s cheating REAL women out of all their hard work.
HRT and long hair should not make you eligible to compete against women. This person isn't even intersex.
When he swam against men he was ranked 462. Now he swims against girls.
I love how these reporters and websites have to tip toe around the obvious just so there politically correct when they know it’s wrong 🤣🤣🤣
They know this is utterly ridiculous, but have to be politically correct.. 🤦🏽
I would feel so foolish.
Name = Lia Catherine Thomas
Nationality = American
Gender = Male
3 indisputable facts
He’s smiling all the time, duping the world must feel wonderful!
Not sure if it is duping delight or more of a psychopath
Until today's Announcement (banned if not transitioned before puberty)
@@vinniemascaro6649 He stopped smiling...? 😂 Gosh.
This guy is a sick narcissist, playing everyone for fools. The smile on his face is a dead giveaway that this one big con game he is playing.
she*
Dude, have you no shame?
Shake your head. Shame on you.
"Rhetoric." You mean biological facts.
The left are truly insane if they want us to believe that this guy is a girl 😂
Honestly most people from the left feel the same way about this particular subject. Even other alphabet people aren't on board. There are conservatives who are trans too most famously Caitlin who also don't agree with this.
@@1nhonho Then they need to speak up.
@@WarBastard88 We do. Just not the politicians. You assume that everyone who gives an opinion in these comments or on social media is conservative. Which isn't the case. Liberals can have things that they're conservative about. And conservatives can have things they're liberal about.
@@1nhonho finally a sane person! Ty👏🏻
@@1nhonho well said.
If he believes this he should be smacked by Will Smith
Trans need to compete with trans. Not fair for the lovely lady’s to compete with a man. Make a trans league and have them compete with each other.
Shame on UPenn for allowing Thomas to compete on the women's team. Of course, if the NCAA had any backbone or even an ounce of integrity they'd simply institute chromosomal testing and say if an athlete has a Y chromosome they may only compete in men's sports.
Well said.
He has an unfair biological advantage. He's actually a dinosaur, a Transasaurus Wrecks.
cutting edge comedy bruh
You don't like trans people? Lia Thomas is a she. Deal with it.
@@ghostrunnerco6791 maybe I'll send that to Dave Chappelle
I can't understand why transgenders athletes don't want to compete against transgender athletes.
I'm only happy winning against female swimmers. I was sad when I lost against male swimmers. 'what' a joker.
Buffoon for the sheepworld - that’s what counts !!
Thats a man
How dare you state the truth, transphobe.
If the people let this happen it will keep getting worst
Itz being codified and normalized. Soon, so-called trans individuals will be a protected category in all 50 states, and written in federal law. The Supreme Court will support it. Just watch.
Is this a comedy skit
💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, especially the idea that this is legitimate reporting
Yikes so selfish.... it matters that he's happy, but everyone else upset yikes
So if regular people identify as handicapped can they compete in the special Olympics?
Don't give this Lia Thomas any ideas lol, he might put it as his plan B
@@strawberrysoup202 Plan C, this was his plan B when he realized he couldn't cut it.😂
Delusion
Make him swim with the men. Can't wait to hear about the unfair advantage he'll be facing.
I'd shave his head bald in his sleep and make him man the up
He is not elite in anyway. He is a failed e
male swimmer so He unfairly competes against women.
Trans-women are NOT WOMEN.
STOP THIS BS.
Not to mention - he only started transitioning in 2020. This is a MAN competing in FEMALE COMPETITIONS.
"The biggest change for me, is that I'm happy and the heck with everyone else " That's all HE had to say.
He pretty much dodged every question in order to justify himself
You're a man, compete in male sports.
He doesn’t even look like a woman.
He. He is making history being the first man allowed to race with women and cheat in professional sports.
Nonsense, this is a huge insult for women athletes
I love how this full on dude just towers over all the girls. Can’t believe this is what the worlds come to.
You're not being yourself. You couldn't cut it in a men's competition you so decided to take the cheap way out and became a whaman, and got on the swim team. Pretty pathetic
Are we living in the era of the emperor’s new clothes? This is not a woman
He should be on Saturday Night Live if he believes this
brilliant 👍
I love you for calling him a he . Y'all hear the voice ? Them calling him a a she is sad
@@pryingopenmythirdeye1830 she is a she stop being transphobic
@@cockroach8823 you brainwashed fool
He’d fit right in. SNL has become an embarrassment.
That’s not a woman ITSS AA MAANN
I'm proud of this comment section so far
Perhaps Thomas is too young to have any insight into the moral absurdity of this situation; perhaps it has been necessary for Thomas to create a new 'self-truth' in order to psychologically survive; perhaps Thomas will realise, at some point, that the overt negation of the rights and dreams of MULTIPLE other humans - in order to exclusively champion one's own 'rights' and dreams - is immoral and unacceptable.
THIS IS AN SNL SKIT FROM LIKE 10 YEARS AGO. LOL. WHAT A JOKE.
This is an example of someone that thinks the world revolves around them
I heard that Tom Brady is now identifying as a 6th grader.
He is going to be such an amazing athlete in the Jr High level football league.
And all of you bigots out there judging him…..IT IS HOW HE IDENTIFIES AND HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE WITH HOW HE FEELS!!!!
It is not "phobic" to refer to people according to physical reality rather than what they happen to prefer.
Whether or not it’s “phobic” to refer to men as men and women as women isn’t even a valid question.
Why stop here? Maybe you can feel like a ten year old and take over little league too. The sky’s the limit! 👏🏻👏🏻
I fully support Trans. But shame on you if you can’t see the obvious physical advantage Thomas has over biological women. I mean just LOOK at her/him? Give these trans people their own category of competition, just like the para-olympics
I wish we could see the dislikes on this LOL
20 likes, 420 dislikes
Cheater.
Quit if she transitioned to be happy then quit swimming and be happy.
Yes, swim for fun or become a swimming teacher.
That dude has got some serious base in her voice
Basically, we make decisions in life that we want to make us happy. Sometimes those decisions come with consequences so as not to infringe on the rights of others. Anyone who doesn’t realize that the male athlete’s physique and lung capacity is stronger than a woman’s is just kidding themselves. The NYTimes just printed an article backed by doctors on this very matter. And to GMA….it would be really nice if you presented BOTH sides of an issue like the effect on high school girls who have worked hard for years and lost scholarships because of situations like this. Perhaps you could also investigate the related scientific research. REAL journalists show both sides of an issue. Not doing that increases the distrust between the public and the media.
Low "likes" says it all. That's how people react to opportunistic FRAUDS like Thomas.
He should compete in men’s sport. If you have the physical body of a man, you gotta compete with the men.
Happy? Authentic?
More like disgraceful and confused.
This 'person'took a short cut and won in a class that shouldn't include HIM.
Ridiculous that ANYONE would allow it
He's not an elite swimmer cause he is swimming against women not men it's called biology
Why do they keep referring to HIM as She?!!!
I actually am grateful to Lia Thomas. He's doing more to red-pill people than anyone else
Bruh Lia is a girls name you referred to her as a him on accident pretty sure
You triggered? You posting on every comment.
@@chattle4639 No, a woman is just nature. crazy people out here
This guy named Lia Thomas is cheating. Go against the guys since it's not about winning.
Ghostrunner CO yeah, I’m sure the op referred to a he as a he “on accident.” Sure, dude 😆
Its He, He is not a she , He is a Man no woman
Transphobic
@@misschloee94 use all the insults you want. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. This guy is cheating
@@misschloee94 A phobic is a fear. Nobody fears these people. Try using actual words that work for your robotic responses.
Nope. She's met all requirements in the rules. You just don't like it because transgender people make you uncomfortable.
@@professionalspinner9292 that is the most idiotic comment I’ve read. I’m sure you’ll match that comment too.
What a selfish man.
Not a her*
lol get this dude out of the women's olympics.
What a joke
I feel it's a big step with the hormone therapy and the fact that she has had the gender reassignment surgery but she is too early in and is still producing too much male testosterone for now. It's too early for her to be competing at this level and unfair to the other women swimmers. She is taking a spot away from another deserving women in the podium every competition she is in.
If I compete against a 10 year old kid and I win, does that make me a winner? This man needs to be arrested for numerous things, including voyeurism, and everything else inside of a woman’s locker room.
Sounds like a dude to me.
Wait his overall times are a bit worse: but still head and shoulders above women. That being said- how can he say his rankings are better cuz he’s happy, his lap times are worse but his ranking is higher cuz he’s swimming against women. What a joke
Does he realize how unhappy he is making other people? How does his happiness count more than anyone else's?
Update: he is banned. Justice served.
I just don't understand why they just don't have a transgendered swim team if that's the case just compete against other transgendered whether it be woman turn man or man turn woman... just create a league for them... issue solved. But this is because this young man is being used for an agenda and playing right into their hands he might even be under MK mind control so I will pray for him.
I think it’s because they’ve convinced themselves wholeheartedly that they are the opposite gender. Making a separate category would suggest that not to be true. Crazy times we are living in.
They do. Any gender can join in mens sports...
@@pentestusa6579 under what category man or women.?
lia only seems to care about lia which is the biggest takeaway from this interview. the only way to make this fair is for trans to compete against other trans only, period. she will ALWAYS AND FOREVER have a physical advantage over biological women. even when you fully transition, you are still not technically a 'woman'. the biological women should all boycott all races she's in until this gets changed asap; they should have started boycotting a long time ago; it's absolutely absurd. i'm glad she's happy, but at what expense. she has a conscience and she knows it's not right at the end of the day..
He's a nutcase
Why was this swimmer permitted to compete in women's sport at all? He/she is biologically male, and therefore even though testosterone levels might now be suppressed to the same level as the average woman, the body physiology (greater lung capacity, larger heart, longer limbs, etc), musculature and strength have all still been influenced by male levels of Testosterone during development so are still physically male. To be fair perhaps an entirely seperate category should then be created for transgender. Not just in terms of sport but as a whole.
"I also don't need anyone's permission to be myself and do the sport I love." You remind me of my abusive parents who told me to shut up. I don't know the origins of your oppression toward women swimmers but it sure reeks of something sinister and sadistic. You inhale fairness and integrity like a blackhole then exhale them as tainted bubbles for your mind to filter. That must be exhausting in the long run but hey, it presently leaves enough room to scheme and rob women of their dreams. You forgot to tell the audience about the 11th commandment "Honor LIA" as you sheepishly smiled into the camera there at the end.
Yup, he's just gaslighting everyone.
Men.
🤮 gross
The end is near
He might as well forget about the Olympic, you think other countries are going for this foolishness
Already happened man. IOC has specific requirements for trans athletes. Several took part in Tokyo; proudly representing their countries. I don't believe any of them medalled. Much ado about nothing.
@@professionalspinner9292 lol
When asked about a competitive advantage, she doesn't answer the question, just says she's happy. I don't think happy explains her height advantage, her heart and lung size advantage, the fact she still as a testosterone advantage. I'm all for her transitioning and being happy. Competing afainst biological women shouldn't br part of her happiness because it robs the other women of their happiness.
He still looks like a dude
