Disgusting. I hope she gets laughed out of court. Is she trying to hurt the trans rights movement? No one can really be this delusional, right?
I honestly would not be that surprised if Lia Thomas was a Republican plant. I can’t think of a single individual who has done more harm to the trans rights movement than her.

Ah good, you've arrived. The transphobic gang from the last thread is almost all here. Now we just need everyone's favorite ironic yellow avatars and we can have another sh**tshow.
I mean it’s just a straight up fact that the Lia Thomas incident was absolutely terrible optics for the trans rights movement, but go off

And I'm sure you'll just continue to ignore the recent studies showing why it shouldn't have been as posted above.

Don't concern troll that you care about trans people and that's why you're in these threads fighting so hard about something that doesn't affect you.

Wasn’t Lia Thomas competing in the female division before going on HRT for at least a full year (which iirc is now the requirement)?  If so, those studies would be completely irrelevant since they concern trans athletes who have been on HRT for a sufficient amount of time

Lia's high performance is an outlier among the transfem athletes we've seen iirc. And even then it wasn't enough to warrant banning her from competing. A study by the Olympics people found that the narrative that trans women are inherently stronger overall is deeply flawed.
 https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/olympic-trans-women-ioc-study-rcna148437

It’s pretty telling that the three usual suspects (Pres Mike, VBM, Horus) have completely ignored this.

The transphobes know deep down that they don’t have any facts to back to their arguments, and that their entire perspective is no more sophisticated than that of a toddler looking at asparagus and going “yucky, I don’t like it!”.
I literally did though? This study is irrelevant to the Lia Thomas issue because the trans women in this study were on HRT for over a year, while Lia Thomas wasn’t.
