I wish these WOMEN every success!

Bravo to these brave women. They need all our support to save women's sports. Boycott any event that a man tries to participate in. Name and shame all of those who are cheating and injuring women. If this case reaches the Supreme Court, Katanji Brown Jackson will finally have to define what a woman is: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-save-womens-sports-riley-gaines

I know Gaines said she doesn't blame Lia, but I do. How much of a narcissist do you have to be to decide that your desire to be a woman overrides any consideration to actual women? We have had women's safeguards in place for a good reason but his feelings nullify half of the human race's hard won rights. He may be a pleasant person but clearly thinks the world only revolves around him, so I do blame him.

A fog of lunacy, confusion and insanity has descended upon the minds of people who think a biological male can be a female just because he says he is. Bizarre. Watching Jill Biden give an award on International Woman's Day to a biological male was like watching a skit out of a Mel Brooks flick.

Good for these women but honestly, Lia Thomas is a man!!! Don’t call him a her as Réka György did in her letter. Don’t be sympathetic or have empathy for this con artist mentally ill freak. You undercut your whole argument that men are men and women are women.

Don’t kowtow to the politically correct commies. And for heavens sake start refusing to swim in meets with these men. Stand united and stand firm.

YES. Sue the living shit out of them for allowing this travesty. Fingers and toes crossed that they win.

Women need to start boycotting these events. I appreciate sport governing bodies will penalize women for speaking out. Phone in sick the day of? Women fought so long and so hard only to be taken down by other women allowing men to compete. This is so unjust on so many levels.

I donate a small amount every month to the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute. Here is the link: https://rileygainescenter.org/

William Thomas may have been following the letter of the law, but ethically his behavior stinks to high heaven. He was losing as a swimmer, very much wanted to win, and hit upon pretending to be a woman, up to and including a womens swimsuit, as if he had breasts to conceal.

If you are trans and just living your life, I dont care. If you want to steal accomplishment from women or try and bully me into accepting insane ideas—such as that “gender transition” is biologically POSSIBLE—I very much do care and will oppose you.

Feminism and Trans ideology are at odds. You have to choose. I choose feminism.

Riley Gaines’ testimony to Congress on this topic was awesome. Find it out there if you can. She totally owned the committee despite liberals on it insulting her repeatedly.

I don't understand how we've reached this point. Would we let an able-bodied person compete in the Special Olympics? Does the NFL play against high school football teams? Even Lance Armstrong got in trouble for doping. It's an unfair advantage and goes against everything decent and good in sports.

Shame on him and anyone who pretends he's some kind of hero. He's a cheater.

And he needs to get out of that locker room.

When will people stop using "she" and "her" for the born male athletes who are invading women's spaces? We must start with taking the language back.

So let me make sure I understand the situation, men who decide they are women still have more rights than women?

Here’s a thought: if you’ve got a penis, stay out of women’s locker rooms and restrooms. Why is that so difficult?

It's about time. I was a former pro triathlete and Olympic Trials swimmer. Good, pretty good, but not the best. If I did two months of hormone therapy and suddenly decided to race in the women's division I would have DOMINATED. Absolutely destroyed all comers.

It is amazing that it's taken this long to get a suit together.

I have one hope. I hope that groups of people (women, Jews, blacks, legal immigrants, etc.) are now turning around and seeing who their real allies are. Their real allies are conservatives. The same conservatives who have been vilified over the last decade by the very same groups "leaders". I think what is happening to women is horrific. I think what is happening to urban blacks is horrific. I think what is happening to legal immigrants living in communities that have become increasingly dangerous due to illegal immigration is horrific. I think hatred against Jews is horrific.

Please recognize that your most vocal supporters are the same people you were told were reactionary misanthropes, bigots, antisemites and other epithets du jour. And the people who you were told were your friends; the people in pink pussy hats, race baiters who live in million dollar mansions, COEXIST bumper sticker displayers, will do nothing for you personally. You have always been an abstract tool. Nothing more.

Open your eyes.

I don't care what The Voices in your head say, If you are born with a penis you are a Male, If you are born with a vagina, fallopian tubes and a uterus, you are a Female.
