Trans swimmer Lia Thomas booed after winning race but runner-up receives loud cheers.

- Lia Thomas has become the first transgender athlete to win a National Collegiate Athletic Association swimming championship - with her controversial victory attracting a mixed reception.
The UPenn swimmer, 22, won the 500 yard freestyle in Atlanta in a time of 4 minutes, 33.24 seconds on Thursday evening.
Afterwards, the crowd were notably more enthusiastic when cheering for the woman who'd come second place - Emma Weyant, of the University of Virginia. She swam 4:34.99.
While Thomas was given some cheers, boos could also be heard ringing out throughout the spectator stands, as she continues to face allegations that going through male puberty has given her an unfair advantage over her rivals.
'I try to ignore it as much as I can, I try to focus on my swimming what I need to do to get ready for my races and I just try to block out everything else,' said Thomas after the race, when asked by ESPN about the response.
'It means the world to be here, to be with two of my best friend and teammates and be able to compete.'
Thomas, whose continued wins and record-breaking performances have made her the world's most controversial athlete, also roundly defeated fellow swimmers at last month's Ivy League championships.
The Texan, who swam for three years on the university's men's team before transitioning in 2019, is now the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA championship - a distinction one of Thomas' teammates said would be dubious if achieved.
Thomas has undergone the required hormone treatment to meet the current rules for transgender athletes, but critics say her stunning performances prove that she still retains a considerable and unfair advantage.
'It's not necessarily an achievement in my mind,' said one of Thomas' teammates on UPenn's Women's Swim Team.
The teammate, who refused to give her name for fear of repercussions, told Fox News Digital that Thomas's participation in D1-sanctioned women's events has 'completely ruined the integrity of the sport.'
She said Thomas' achievements while on the women's team should be taken with a grain of salt, due to the biological advantages of being born a man.
'It's its own distinct category because no woman is going to be as fast as a man, and here, is just completely - we're just throwing away the definition of a record to fit into someone else's agenda of what it should mean to them,' she said.
'In reality, it makes no scientific sense to do so.'
Thomas is one of more than 300 swimmers who qualified for the NCAA championships this week, after securing a trio of records at the Ivy League Championships last month in the 100, 200, and 500 yard freestyle events.
Thomas is set to compete in those same events at this week's NCAA championships.
In two of them, she ranks first in the country.
'It's still just disappointing to know that the NCAA lacks the courage to do the right thing,' said Thomas' teammate.
The NCAA leadership decided in January to amend its policies concerning trans athletes, to allow each sport's governing body to discern whether an athlete is eligible to compete.
Under the new guidance, Thomas was allowed by USA Swimming to compete as a woman because she has completed a year of hormone treatment. Shortly thereafter, USA Swimming announced a new requirement that transgender women must suppress their testosterone levels for three years before competing - a rule which would have seen Thomas excluded from future female competitions.
It appeared at the time that Thomas would be barred from the NCAA championships as a result, after the NCAA's assertion that they would abide by USA Swimming rules.
But just before last month's Ivy League competition, the NCAA backtracked on its decision, saying that instituting a new policy in the middle of the season would be unfair - allowing Thomas to compete at that competition as well as this month's championships.
Her continued participation in women's competition has proved deeply divisive, with former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner - who won gold in the decathlon as Bruce Jenner - among those criticizing Thomas for swimming in women's races.

@Calvin James Caitlyn Jenner is also running for office as a republican so she has to say that. She also competes in womens golf tournament and not with the men because a garbage human being and will put other trans people down for doing the same things she does.
@Calvin James Thats not what it's like. Her time was 9 seconds slower than NCAA record. the 2nd place girl is a freshman. Lia is a 5th year senior. It's not unheard of for freshman to lose to 5th year seniors. She was also beaten in other events she competed in. If it was so unfair she would have dominated ever event with her insane physical advantage that apparently doesn't exist. Also if Caityn Jenner actually thought it wasn't fair she wouldn't be competing in womens golf tournaments. Shes a hypocrit

Imagine one person’s feelings trampling on thousands of others’ hard work and accomplishments.
Imagine feeling like the entire world owes you and should move out of the way….for YOU.
i'm not sure if thousands, but i see your point. to be honest, i don't really know how to feel about trans people competing in their appropriate gendered events. but i wouldn't put any blame on any specific individuals, and ESPECIALLY not use this to assume a character flaw in anyone.
@@Sealthar It's only fair to exclude trans from gender specific events.
The blame goes solely on trans who invade legitimate gender specific events and those who exercise their power to allow it.
This is complete evidence of the character flaw in some trans.
As a man, if I was trans I would not ask to be allowed into a woman's sport and beat them with my size and strength advantage. I would bring shame to "my kind".
I'm not trans or gay so, they best way I can stand against this is to say I would not want anything given to me just bc I'm an immigrant. It would be embarrassing.
@@Sealtharbro could simply not LOL
@@Sealthar That meant nothing.
They want to compete and "feel safe" ? They create their own competitions and leave the women and men alone.
Transwomen are not women, end of the story. Go cry about it, biology won't bend its rules for "feelings", well neither shall we.

I was a swimmer in my youth. Boys/Girls are fairly equal.... before puberty. Once in high school, the advantage is obvious.

Identifying myself as a 10 year old, I joined a 5k marathon.
I ended up in first place because the kids didn't stand a chance.

“5k marathon” I actually just ran a 3 mile 26 mile race myself as well!
I won first place in the paraplegic olympics. The other kids didnt stand.
Don't join a 10 year old math contest.
Reminds me of a time when I and my son ran a 5k. I did not do well and at that time I was like 45 years old but my son did do well and I thought he might actually have won his age division. Turns out he didn't as it went up to like 24 years old, but somehow my crappy time did win my age division. I thought that this didn't make sense as my time sucked and I knew a lot of dudes ahead of me that I was 100% sure was in my age division. I went up to ask about it and turns out they had me in the 80 and older age group. I had to laugh because I felt really bad for the one other dude who was in fact over 80. :-). Yes they corrected it.
It's good to know that as an out-of-shape guy, I can always havw a shot to become a female athlete.
lol
And a top female athlete, nonetheless!
Lmfao so true.
You wouldn't have a shot against middle school girls lol. Just hush.
I know you're trying to be funny, but to suggest that Lia Thomas is an "out-of-shape guy" is completely wrong. Even while competing on the men's team at Penn, Thomas was an elite competitor. She made the podium multiple times at Ivy League Championships, one of the fastest D1 conference meets in the country, so I resent the implication that she was somehow a scrub before transitioning.
You would get absolutely shat on by any middle schooler who has had any exposure to swimming, let alone anybody at this meet. Your comment discredits the work of female athletes and is just wrong.
This is literally the premise of the strongwoman episode of south park....

So there's a lot of men in there...? Yup.
“Real woman” here. Trans women are women by gender definitions, just not by a sex definition. Lesbians can be perverts too- and they are, in prison and jail. +maybe your sister shouldn't have committed a crime if she didn't want harassed by other inmates.
It is not transfobic to protest against this.
It is the best thing for womens rights.
Anything that supports womens rights automatically counts as “transphobia”
You have to choose a side.
Womens rights
Or
Fetish rights.
not just women rights, everyone rights and human common sense.
Honest question, what does it have to do with women’s rights?
It is 100% unfair and is definitely not transphobic to protest, (but a lot of people in these comments are very clearly transphobic and protesting it because of that).
It’s clearly unfair, and trans people need their own league, as trans women have a biological advantage over cis women so can’t really compete with them, but it’d be degrading to force them to compete with men. And if someone’s always dreamed of becoming an athlete it’d also be unfair to not let them simply because of their gender.
@@BananaWasTaken Just change the name of the men's division to "open" and the women's to "XX". That way trans women would not be misgendered by playing against members of their own sex. There would need to be a caveat that XX athletes need to keep their natural testosterone levels to compete in the XX category, or else trans men would essentially be allowed to dope. But trans want to compete against cis men anyway, so that's a non-issue.
@@cholloway7432your solution is to erase mens sports? holy shit. god what is with peoples brains? do yall have no complex thoughts in your heads? are you immune to reason? heres the solution: THIRD league. gender neutral league. with attribute based teams so its not unfair. very simple! why is no one talking about this??? your solution is completely stupid. especially with it excluding intersex women too! yeah totally no one cares about mens sports so why dont we push everyone else into that one like an afterthought ????

It's nuts how the collective majority watching and supporting the sport clearly disagree with such a bizarre exception to the womens' division, yet the boards running it continue to feed into it anyways.
If you listen it doesn't sound like a majority. Though it's entirely possible that some who would disagree just didn't find it reasonable to boo them like an asshole.
@@tyr7876i am a swimmer and swimming is more of a conservative sport than football imo. I’m from New York and barely any swimmer I know supports trans ideas like this.

Of course It's possible that it is the case elsewhere or even here but you'd need actual data to prove that and right now there's not much.

@@tyr7876 I would lean towards your second point. Even though I don't agree with it, I would never boo someone like that. I don't necessarily mean in just this video, though. Looking online at the Gallup surveys, only 26% of people in their sample within the US agree with transgender athletes competing in the category they identify with. Quite frankly, I would say that those 26% of people are blind to basic biology or simply don't care about sports enough.

They'd rather their sport be ruined than be called a transphobe. Find some courage.
Apparently they cannot back out of this because they still might have some chance of getting scholarships or something
@Vitruvian Jam agreed and if they don't stand up to this then i really have no sympathy if women sports are ruined forever. if this becomes common place. every sport will be dominated by trans women
@Vitruvian Jam I'm completely against this entire spectacle yet am a liberal. (Not a leftist kind though.) I've been called a bigot and transphobic for acknowledging the biological disadvantage here and for actually supporting the rights for natural born women in sports. Those who are for this and make excuses are woke sjw's and/or insane. Luckily I've come across transwomen who are completely against this as well. Letting this happen is diminishing a born females worth and it's sick.
That is true and false. I know first hand of plenty that don't want to say anything because of the backlash.
But make no mistake about it. Some of these athletes are progressive college kids who actually believe this garbage.
If you're not woke on most college campuses you might actually be a minority or close to it.
@Vitruvian Jam if you were threatened to be kicked off the team and have no career after graduation and you were as young as 17, what would you do? Better yet, would you expect your daughter to forfeit her scholarship, pack up and go home because you couldn't afford to pay her tuition without the scholarship? Doubt it.

The actual 4th place winner under ‘5th’ not clapping is a real one👏🏽
People can boo all they want. This contest was rigged and everyone knew it. Allowing a MAN to participate in a womens’ competition is ludicrous.
Im a trans woman (MtF) and my honest opinion is that trans women should never be allowed to compete against cis women in any sport that is based around the physicality of their body.
Being born male comes with serious biological differences to females. Whether its muscle mass, bone density etc, all of these differences are significant. And this is unfair to cis women in the same way that steroid use in competition is unfair and unsafe in combat sports especially.
Being trans for me is more about how I want to look and feel, along with the role that I want to play in relationships. And for me trans rights should be less focused on pronouns and more focused on making everyone comfortable just being who they are. And not being mistreated for the way they dress or like to present themselves.
Because of this, I believe that trans people should all have to compete against those of their biological sex rather than those of their gender identity. And no exemptions should be provided to allow us to use HRT in the competitive environment for any physical sport.
Personally I choose to compete in csgo an esport where there is a higher focus on the mental competition, and all people compete in the same competitive pool.
This video is a great example of a cheater taking advantage of the trans community to compete against women, likely due to them being outperformed by most men. It is gross, and disrespectful to the women who train relentlessly for this sport.
I appreciate your honesty as a trans. Surely these people supporting this should know exactly why sports are split into male and female categories in the first place.

They didn't only allow it. They shut ALL FEMALES IN FEMALE TEAM so they wouldn't speak about this to media and offer them counceling to get comfortable with sharing a locker room and GET NAKED in front of BIOLOGICAL MALE WITH MALE GENITILIA!!!

That's not gold though
@@James.v912 for stating a fact? Lmao this is the epitome of people’s argument that support this shit
@@chasefuentes5744 Yep, swimmer from another country won the golds in those Olympic events. Lia couldn't crack the top-1000 in college as a male swimmer, but would easily make the women's Olympics team, likely taking a spot from one of the three women that were in this meet.... which would be the pinnacle of male privilege. It's also why the rules were changed, but the NCAA didn't have the balls (ironically) to enforce it for this event.
He or she should be ashamed of themselves for taking medals away from young biological girls....
He
He was born as a boy, no amount of surgery or change to his appearance changes that. I’m not being disrespectful, but that is the truth
@@CarolinaKingdomYou are being disrespectful by denying her gender. Being born as a boy doesn't mean you always have to be a boy forever.
Whether she should be allowed to compete in the women's league is debatable.
@@ketchup901 But they are genetically a boy, they were born as a male with the proper male genetics so I don’t understand how they can just swap genders to a female
That’s when I would let out a old fashion “booo u stink” from SpongeBob 😂😂
i'm all up for identifying as who you wanna be, but sports needs to be separated. simply not fair for women, and honestly its kinda embarrassing too
Imagine standing up there giving the peace sign while you do this
Zero shame
bro its not her fault its the fault of the NCAA lol. She's operating within the rules made by the NCAA. She shouldn't have shame, the NCAA should. She's just a swimmer thats all lol@@Ballen81587
Nah screw that, 'identifying' as one thing when you are not opens the door to so many things. Why would I want my 11 year old daughter in the same bathroom as a 42 year old biological man?
@@JapanesePiano1 well then your daughter shouldn't dress so provocatively. -love, your conservative comrades
there's next to no concrete evidence to prove that trans women have an advantage over bio women, not to mention the fact that they lose all the time. it's just that when one happens to win, like now (she barely won btw), the bigots lose their minds
Let's hear it for 2nd place. The true winner👏👏👏👏🙌
In sports you should play with people of your sex, not the gender you identify with
In my country there is an amazing athlete who naturally had higher levels of testosterone than what women typically have, and she had to go through a humiliating case where she had to prove that she was a woman. Letting trans "women" compete in women's sport is a sad injustice to actual women like her.
Sounds like if people weren’t transphobic there wouldn’t be an issue! Should consult with them. : )
You are actually delusional if you think the injustice is for the "real women" like imagine just wanting to swim as a woman with no physical advantage because of hrt and people do this to you. Actually gross and disgusting.
@@mind.6381 the issue is not hating trans but questioning why trans are allowed to compete in that category. The reason why there is a women's category is because women are biologically different from men. Its a biology thing, not a gender orientation thing.
@@shiiy5131 no physical advantage?!? Are you high?!? He’s a MAN ffs!!
@@mind.6381 Why would words like that come out of your mouth?? Phobic! I can guarantee you I'm not afraid of any trans?? I really don't even care if there are trans!! How about getting your head out of your ass and see a man and woman are two different creatures!! What is so wrong for a woman to be a woman and a man to be a man?? Remember the puzzle game as kids. Square block goes in a square hole. Rectangle block goes into the rectangle hole. Star block goes into the star hole. That is life and biology. Don't hammer the square block into a star hole. That is totally asinine!!
How any man can stand on the podium after beating a group of women and feel a sense of pride in his accomplishment is beyond belief.
fk up

To be fair, when you say "how any man could....." I swim in the river during the summertime and that's it, so if I jumped into this race and beat all these women for a National Championship, I'd feel like an absolute boss lol.
@@mikerobertson8540 Lol okay thats funny but they do work their lives for this 😭😭😭
donating all your testosterone to science will do that
Ha! Look at that bloke at the end pretending to be part of the podium!
This is such a huge setback for society. Smdh
Lia was ranked something like 400+ in the NCAA men's catagory. Became something like number one in the women's catagory. Hope all you inclusive, equity minded, biologically born females are cool with this.
And when he'll start losing and failing to get first place in the women's category, he'll identify as an 8 year old so he will be able to win gold medals again in their category.
LGBBQ parade in denial😊
A girl’s team refused to play against a male from another school. The result? ALL that school’s sports teams were banned, not just 1 sport. This was to pressure those girls to play along with the insanity. The TQ++ holds companies and institutions by the balls, this is not organic. This is China-level of pressuring dissents fam, but sure, it’s the fault of 12yr-old girls.
Nope
No we’re not cool with any of this. We want for these people to have separate sporting events and for them to stop claiming that they are “women” just like us biologically born women.
Isn't Lia Thomas that trans swimmer who actually competed in the mens sports and got dominated in it and then suddenly transitioned and competed in the womens swimming?
Yup, that's how you do it in our "Dominated by white MAN, homophobes and racist" today's world. If you are bad in something, DO NOT try to be better at this and work hard.... just change your gender or just yell at everybody that you are now LG**Q... and that they are fascist and you gain an immunity.

you can't "suddenly transition"
@@mknvi cool story nobody cares.
Welcome to the gender equality and gender dystopian era! 😂😂😂

Women athletes should protest by not leaving the block when the race starts. Let the man race is own race alone.
problem solved ..he is one big looser worse..
Most of the girls are on scholarships, they might lose it if they don't perform extremely well in those competitions. I think that's the reason why they keep this charade going.
@@roselandrusso1065
Its like playing an online game thats riddled with cheaters and bots. If the people in charge arnt willing to fix it, then its time to find a new game to play. Going along with the charade is what causes it to get worse. And who in their right mind would want to take part in a sport thats been relegated to joke status because all the best female athletes arnt even female?
I was a female athlete many years ago and me and my teammates would never have let this happen, nor would our parents! This sh!t is vile!
Exactly what should be happening! Women, stand up for yourselves!
Imagine it being your last year swimming and you get beat by a man. What a shame!
I totally agree.
@@michaelpersaud4587 I don’t understand. Why knock women athletes down even more?
@@michaelpersaud4587 obvious bait
Btw Lia Thomas ended up placing 8th on Saturday in the 100 yard freestyle, but nobody’s talking about it because people only give a fuck when trans women are winning and they can say it’s unfair.
@@carlsonmujem2390 That would be like me taking steroids and losing the NCAA swimming finals (I can barely swim) and saying "see?!? steroids aren't an advantage"

Went from top 500 in men's swimming to first place with one simple trick. I've got to applaud him for one thing because he sure found a good way to cheat without breaking the rules. Hope this video stays up forever but nice things don't last.
People are so afraid to offend anybody anymore that they’re letting men compete in women’s sports like it’s normal! Fallon Fox literally cracked a woman’s skull open with a flying knee and everybody turned their heads because they’re afraid of being called out and canceled by the alphabet people. People need to grow a back bone and stop letting $hit like this happen. It’s not fair for women and embarrassing to our country.
She was 500 because she started HRT while competing in the male category, but before she was much better
@@beanyjeans909 To be honest, I’m tired of letting these people formulate the way I think. I don’t care if I offend anybody anymore. It’s going entirely too far! It doesn’t bother me when people I don’t know try to label me what they think is some sort of a insult. I was raised to believe that a man is a man and a woman is a woman. They can try to fake it however they want but at the end of the day, That’s A Man Competing Against Women Because He Couldn’t Win Against Other Men!
@@claytonbigsby1119 not even a real argument lol

Every swimmer there should have stood up for themselves..we talk womans rights and equality, blah blah blah, and we put men in womans sports..smh. disgraceful.
Exactly. Couldn't have said it better. Women's rights my ax.
As an athlete showing up to the race regardless, garners respect no matter what the outcome is deemed to be. Those ladies who showed up did a wonderful job. So why in the fuck are you tearing them down. Weird.
Edit: Mood Tube you look lame as hell hearting that comment as well.
i agree, completely unfair. i read somewhere that said the women were threatened that their scholarships would be taken away if they were stand up and say something:(

Sun e, do you have daughters? Did i disrespect the girls with my comment?? You seem to be the only one who thinks so, you cant twist words to make them mean what you want them to mean...Yeah give them respect for showing up and trying to beat a MAN. That doesnt help the young girl who wont get her scholarship because of a MAN. You cant justify this crap, no chance.
Good job everyone, this man should not be part of women swimming

Funny how you don't see female-to-male trans people dominating men's events...
He was a failure in the mens team. And that's what he chose to do. Compete against women. I wonder why.
That's so damn foolish
The first girl up on that podium won 🥇 not the only man up there. These female athletes have been training their entire life and this dude comes out and beats them by seconds. Seconds in swimming is a lot of difference. If you wanna be trans, create their own league with their own records.
That's where I stand with this whole thing also. Physical sports has to be fair. A man competing against women is not fair. There should be a trans competition. Let them compete against each other.
@@ambitiousldytrue. I also feel sports should also have more restrictions like how trans women/men should have x amount of years of hormone therapy or whatever until they can compete.
@@w_h_y1112no amount of hormone therapy changes bone density and shoulder width unless you block puberty Early and kids can't make those decisions
that wouldn't be good for them because they clearly wanted an advantage over others to be able to win.
I agree with you for the most part, the only exception I think should be if a trans person went through hormone therapy throughout the entirety of puberty
I stand and applaud Emma Weyant for winning and in my opinion she won 1st place.
Emma, congratulations for winning 1st place in the women's national championship swimming.
Lia Thomas is a "LOSER" for trying to cheat his/her way into women's sports.
He ranked appallingly in the mens teams, I feel like if he wanted to transition sooo bad he would have given up swimming, surely he’s got enough going on 🤷🏻♀️ but no apparently he needs t!ts and an Olympic medal
Let's be honest though. If it wasn't for Lia Thomas, no one would care about this match or read the name Emma Weyant.
HIS. Never, ever say ‘her’. If u do u have given up the argument.
@@corrupt1user This is NOT only about this specific swimming match or "the name Emma Weyant". This is about a man competing in women's sports and has a biological advantage to winning and if allowed, will destroy women's sports and "fair' competition as we know it.

This is great. Too bad if people don't like it. Life isn't fair. There are students who were far more deserving of scholarships than these swimmers who didn't get them, but that unfairness doesn't seem to bother anyone.
Wish the booing was louder and more united showing everyone’s stand on this issue. Only if people are united will this derangement be stopped.

The vocal minority have had their way, aided by officialdom, for too long. Now at last the silent majority are finding their voice, and society will slowly return to sanity. But the process would be quickened if all female athletes refused to compete with men who call themselves women.
