Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American swimmer who competed at Kentucky, blasted ESPN for honoring Lia Thomas in its "Celebrating Women’s History Month" segment.
Gaines has been at the forefront of women’s sports calling for fair treatment and keeping transgender women from competing against biological females at the highest level of competition. Gaines tied with the former Penn swimmer at the NCAA championships last year. Thomas’ performance in the pool caused a national firestorm.

"Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title," Gaines tweeted Sunday. "He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman. The @ncaa is responsible.
"If I was a woman working at ESPN, I would walk out. You're spineless @espn."
ESPN didn't immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The segment brought up Thomas’ transition from male to female, her win at the NCAA Championships and competing amid criticism from the swimming world.

ESPN HONORS LIA THOMAS IN 'CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH' SEGMENT
"People will say, ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage so she could win.’ I transitioned to be happy," Thomas says in the segment.
Thomas’ participation in NCAA women’s swimming during the 2021-22 season sparked a growing debate over the fairness of transgender women competing against biological females. She became the first transgender woman to win an Ivy League Championship and later an NCAA Championship in the 500 free.

But the wins didn’t come without scrutiny and put a sharper focus on the governing bodies of various sports to set rules regarding transgender athletes’ participation.

Give Trans people their own league and call it a day.

It ain't trans people, you don't see a person with a uterus calling theyself a man trying to punt for the Steelers. It's weirdo white dudes trying to creep into women's spaces. You don't ever hear men complaining about trans wannabe men, ain't no short haired bitch in sports bra calling herself Tom a threat to me. However when you're a 6'2" loser ass failure it's easy to bully women and demand titles for it.

They want to be seen as WOMEN, they don't even want the “trans“ part attached to it, they want to be fully accepted as a woman, if you give them their on league then it's like you're saying they aren't “real women“ :rolleyes2:

There would be fewer people watching that bullshit than the WNBA.

Ok I don't want them EXCLUDED.

but I believe that you should be slotted into the gender you were designated at birth.

That simple

The thing is it's a bunch of guys who weren't good enough to compete around guys that decided they want to push the Easy Button like life is Staples.

Lia Thomas aka WilLIAm Thomas went from being ranked 400 among the boys to being ranked number one against the women. What Leah Thomas is doing is akin to having a College sophomore go back to high school and play football.

It's not fair do the real women and girls to have this biological male compete against them. If you were born with a dick you can't compete against women in sports

I don't pretend to have the answers for this issue TBH. Castor Senenya is an actual woman that the Olympic Committee wanted to take hormone blockers because of her higher level of testosterone.

It's somewhat of a complicated issue when you're talking about sports and the real differences between men and women physically.

And I get that I remember seeing her story on Real Sports.

To me that's different.

She was BORN female. It's done.

All that other stuff? Whelp we just gotta deal.

Some folk have larger hands, feet, lungs, better peripheral vision, taller, heavier, stronger, faster hand eye coordination etc etc

These are NATURAL gifts.

No enhancements.

I don't think it's as complicated as they trying to make it.

Anything OUT of that norm?

Ok we go to court.

But waking up one morning saying you a girl now ain't gonna work

How it should work to us and how it does work are two different things, fam. You know this.

Personally, I don't believe this as important an issue as the culture warriors try to make it since there aren't than many trannies to begin with and even fewer trans athletes.

Make all sports intersex so we no longer have to watch and pretend to enjoy women's sports. :giggle:

Bruh, you joking but this is the best idea I've read so far.

People who had nothing but jokes about how empty the stands were in WNBA and women's sports are putting on the cape for women's sports now.

Make all sports like the American Gladiators. Problem solved

I didn't give my opinion either way. I was informing you why ppl are using that term.
Click to expand...
I know why people are using the term already, bro. My issue is the changing the whole nomenclature for the trans community; the trans community doesn't even want the terms "I had a girl" or "I had a boy" used as birthing terms instead they want the term "assigned at birth" attached to the term. That's my issue.

Castor Semenya is a biological male with androgen insensitivity and internal testicals. Why do y'all never mention that?
