Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas’s Former Team-Mate Demands Apology for Being “Forced to Undress With Him 18 Times a Week”

by Will Jones
14 June 2024 7:13 PM

Paula Scanlan has welcomed the news that her former team-mate Lia Thomas will not be allowed compete at the Olympic Games and says she should receive an apology for being “forced to undress” with the transgender athlete “18 times a week”. The Mail has the story.

It was announced on Wednesday afternoon that the 25-year-old swimmer would not be permitted compete in the Olympic Games after losing her legal battle to have the rules barring her potential involvement overturned.

Scanlan took to social media shortly after verdict was revealed to demand an apology, writing the following on X: “Okay, but is anyone going to apologise for forcing us to undress with him 18 times a week?”

Thomas first caught the headlines in March 2022 when he became the first trans-athlete to win the women’s NCAA college swimming title – the USA’s most prestigious college title. 

But, it wasn’t long before the World Aquatics (WA) introduced a rule change that would prevent anyone who had undergone “any part of male puberty” from competing in the female category.

Instead, it created an ‘open’ category for which transgender athletes would be eligible. However, the decision didn’t sit well with Thomas – who asked for the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn the rules approved in 2022. 

Thomas – who swam for Pennsylvania’s men’s team for three seasons before beginning hormone replacement therapy in early 2019 – said that the rules were invalid, unlawful and discriminatory.

However, the CAS panel consisting of three judges dismissed Thomas’s request for arbitration with the World Aquatics governing body and threw the case out on a ‘technicality’.

It said that Thomas was “simply not entitled to engage with eligibility to compete in WA competitions such as the Olympics or world championships” because he was no longer a part of U.S. swimming. 

As a result, the decision ended Thomas’s hopes of competing at the Olympic Games – which the 25-year-old referred to as “deeply disappointing” in a statement provided by his legal team. 

Worth reading in full.

Good to see the headline in DS referring correctly to “him” – reflecting how he was referred to by his former team-mates. Shame the term “transgender” was used. It’s a bullshit term. He’s a man pretending to be a woman.

This could be the start of major financial upheavals across the West.

“Saudi Arabia has reportedly decided not to renew its 80-year petro-dollar deal with the U.S. This bad news for the US is censored in Western media, but is reported today by Times of India.”

All those petro dollars being traded have no where to go except ‘home’. Huge inflationary pressure. A number of US economists have been warning about this for years. No wonder it’s not being reported.

Well of course the decision didn’t sit well with him. Now a crappy male athlete can’t behave like a fraud and only get a taste of success by cheating women out of their deserved successes by pretending he’s one of them. Also, are the medals and trophies that this imposter *stole* going to be revoked and given to the rightful winners?

An interesting new study out of Germany demonstrating that the majority of young people diagnosed with a gender identity disorder grow out of it after a few years. This replicates the findings of studies gone before that I’ve seen in passing. This research provides further confirmation of just how unethical and horrific it is to focus on ‘transing’ kids, which is just 100% child abuse;

”A new long-term study from Germany suggests that the majority of young people diagnosed with gender identity disorders do not continue to identify as such over time. The study examined insurance data over five years, revealing that more than half of young people aged 5-24 across every age subgroup diagnosed with “gender identity disorder” no longer had the diagnosis after five years. Specifically, the desistance rate was 72.7% in 15- to 19-year-old females and 50.3% in 20- to 24-year-old males. Among the whole group of 5- to 24-year-olds, only about 36.4% of those diagnosed in 2017 still had the diagnosis five years later, indicating that more than 63% desisted. 

One of the strengths of this study is its comprehensive collection of outpatient billing data for all legally insured persons in Germany, providing a large and representative sample. Additionally, the long observation period from 2013 to 2022 offers valuable insights into long-term trends and changes in diagnosis rates.
The research also noted a dramatic rise in the number of young people being diagnosed with gender identity disorders. In 2013, there were 22.5 cases per 100,000 insured young people, but by 2022, this had increased to 175.7 cases per 100,000, representing an increase of nearly 681%.”

I wonder if Thomas got any scholarships? Other men have deprived women of prize money.

The final paragraph of that story means Planet Fitness and 24hr Fitness make the list of woke companies to avoid.

Scanlan didn’t HAVE to undress before him 18 times a week. She should have refused and left the swimming team …. and so should all the other women.

The nonsense will only stop when ALL female athletes refuse to participate in any sport which allows a man (dangly bits or no dangly bits) to compete with them.

Thomas has just taken the middle three letters of his christian name, so whenever writing his name, everybody should write it as “wilLIAm Thomas”

Then, while ostensibly adhering to his confused preference, it’ll be obvious he’s a man.
