Club-based programs (incorporates age group all the way through Olympic athletes). In the USA these groups are under USAA swimming but there is also YMCA swimmers (affiliated with USAA) but often with their own competitions. USAA swimming already condemned trans males swimming with females
College-based swimming is governed by the NCAA. And that is where Lia Thomas swam to place first. we all know how woke colleges are. Which means they will continue to allow trans males to swim in their competitions for now. So Lia Thomas is no longer a college swimmer but that doesn’t mean another one won’t come along
Elite swimmers can come from either two of the above groups. However most elite swimmers can swim both with a club and a college although not all do. These elite swimmers go on to swim at Worlds, the Pan Pacifica and even the Olympics. This is the governing body that just banned trans males from competing
But if I am understanding this correctly; The college tier feeds the national competitive tier feeds the world competitive tier (Olympic athletics being the best athletes and most money/prestige).
Athletics runs on money and prestige. They will either have to backpedal or the college athletics of the US will collapse as their process no longer brings the best eligible competitors to the arena to participate in the highest levels of worldwide competition in any given sport.
Without sports, and with Americans no longer impressed with college academics or even believing there is a societal necessity or advantage for their educational product, what we're really seeing is the controlled demolition of establishment academia.
It is sick to think the gals who worked so hard to get to where they are, are stolen from, from a limp dick panzy ass wannabe tard. I'd be ashamed of myself if I competed with girls for recognition when I was younger, in shape, and fast.
Don't forget: the people at UConn initially admitted William Thomas to swim on their men's team. Before he competed against women, they acknowledged that he was a man and a competitive male swimmer. Did they think some sort of magical sorcery occurred that turned him into a woman one summer?
The woke kind. No one really knows or cares. But there was a trans female swimmer who became a man at Yale She was dead last in her events as a male. But as a woman the year before she was a finalist at NCAAs.
World swimming is different from NCAA swimming FWIW.
We already know College swimming via NCAA s will still allow it. But he’s already finished college so there’s that. But it doesn’t prohibit any other trans swimmer from doing the same thing
It's a peer pressure thing tho. Nobody wants to be the rebel and do the right thing while everyone else is still saying how nice the emperor's new clothes look. Once the first person shouts "but he has nothing on" the rest of the people have the guts to join in. So I wouldnt be surprised if this collapses the whole trans athlete house of cards
Lia Thomas was born William Thomas. I was a little surprised at how long it took me to find HIS birth name. Most articles covering this "guy" didn't mention HIS original birth name. William is a good name for a baby boy!!
Now go back and erase him from all the results.
Now revoke any titles and records it holds
How much you wanna bet a lot of "trans athletes" un-trans when they get banned
Most of them are just pretend, they can go back to men's compition.
I count this as a big win, now other groups will do the same.
Good. Something else Michelle Obama won't be doing.
Michael - it's Michael....

Praise God.

Jeez praise God for this ruling.

UPenn.- Ivy League not UConn
What sort of biology do they teach at Ivy League schools these days?

She probably got confused trying to do the breast stroke.
