Growth comes when you step out of your comfort zone, and everything I have done with Save Women\u2019s Sports has stemmed from being brave. I\u2019m just an average person. This is so far out of my comfort zone, but look at how far I have taken it. If the average person just has the bravery to speak up, we wouldn\u2019t be in this situation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t step up and start risking our careers, future generations won\u2019t have any opportunities to have [sports careers] \u2014 they will be pushed out,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The focus on Ivy Leaguers comes as a male swimmer is dominating the women swimmers in the Ivy League.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania University swimmer Lia Thomas swam in the men\u2019s leagues in 2018 and 2019 because he is male. But college administrators and the National&nbsp;Collegiate Athletic Association are allowing Thomas to swim as a woman this year \u2014 and to humiliate the Ive League\u2019s women\u2019s swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>A source \u201cdescribed Penn [women] swimmers on the Akron pool deck as upset and crying, knowing they were going to be demolished by Thomas,\u201d Outkick.com <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/outkick-exclusive-second-female-penn-swimmer-steps-forward\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> December 10:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p>\u201cThey feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they\u2019re going to lose. Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they\u2019re going to win and give it all they\u2019ve got,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow they\u2019re having to go behind the blocks knowing no matter what, they do not have the chance to win. I think that it\u2019s really getting to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thomas is being allowed to swim as a woman because gender ideology declares that each person\u2019s feeling about their own \u201cgender\u201d overrides what everyone else recognizes as the reality of that person\u2019s male-or-female body.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think secretly everyone just knows it\u2019s the wrong thing to do,\u201d one female Penn swimmer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/outkick-exclusive-penn-trans-swimmers-teammate-speaks-out-as-lia-thomas-smashes-more-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told Outkick.com<\/a> December 9, \u201cWhen the whole team is together, we have to be like, \u2018Oh my gosh, go Lia, that\u2019s great, you\u2019re amazing\u2019 \u2026 It\u2019s very fake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The source in the December 10 article explained the careerist reasons for why the Ivy League women are accepting their humiliation:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p>\u201cThere are a bunch of comments on the Internet about how, \u2018Oh, these girls are just letting this happen. They should just boycott or protest.\u2019 At the end of the day, it\u2019s an individual sport. If we protest it, we\u2019re only hurting ourselves because we\u2019re going to miss out on all that we\u2019ve been working for,\u201d Thomas\u2019 female teammate said, but she added that something needs to be done to protect biological women who\u2019ve fought for an equal playing field in collegiate athletics.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thomas \u201cnow holds&nbsp;multiple U.S. records in women\u2019s swimming, erasing the hard work of so many of our best female athletes, and making a mockery of the rights women fought for generations to achieve,\u201d Shrier said in her December 8 speech.&nbsp; She continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"34\">\n<p>Where is the outrage? Imagine, for a second, what it must be like to be a female swimmer at Princeton, knowing you must pretend that this is fair\u2014that the NCAA competition is anything other than a joke. Imagine being told to bite your tongue as men lecture you that you just need to&nbsp;<em>swim harder.&nbsp;<\/em>\u201cBe grateful for your silver medals, ladies, and maybe work harder next time,\u201d is the message. Imagine what that level of repression does to warp the soul.<\/p>\n<p>Now, imagine, instead, the women\u2019s swimmers had all walked out. Imagine they had stood together and said: We will meet any competitor head on. But we will not grant this travesty the honor of our participation. We did not spend our childhoods setting our alarm clocks for 4am every morning, training for hours before and after school, to lend our good names to this fixed fight.<\/p>\n<p>I know why students keep their heads down. They are hoping for that Goldman [Sachs] or&nbsp;<em>New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;internship, which they don\u2019t want to put in jeopardy. Well, any institution that takes our brightest, most capable young people\u2014Princeton graduates!\u2014and tells you can only work here if you think like we tell you to and keep your mouth shut, that isn\u2019t really Goldman Sachs and it isn\u2019t the paper of record. It\u2019s the husk of a once-great institution, and it\u2019s not worth grasping for. Talk to alums at these institutions: they sound like those living under communist regimes. That\u2019s the America that awaits you if you will not speak up.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Ivy League education has high status because it is supposed to help the graduates lead Americans through problems, said Shrier.<\/p>\n<p>But the college graduates \u201chave been indoctrinated into being nice,\u2019 said Stelzer, as she urged more people to break the silence imposed by transgender activists and their elite allies.<\/p>\n<p>Stelzer cited the example of a brave child in&nbsp;Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s 1937 story titled \u201cThe Emperor\u2019s New Clothes\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p>It comes to the point that the Emperor has such an ego and has created such a toxic environment that everyone is afraid to tell him how it is, until it comes to one day that he supposedly has these special clothes made for them. And really, he\u2019s naked and no one has the nerve to tell him [he\u2019s naked] until he\u2019s dancing down the parade route.&nbsp; It\u2019s a child who ends up pointing it out that the emperor has no clothes on, and then suddenly everyone starts to laugh and it\u2019s out in the open.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2018This [gender] ideology has created a toxic environment, but it is time for everyone to find the courage to step up,\u201d Stelzer said.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, companies are presenting men in short skirts as examples of how women prefer to appear:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.6338028169014\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How is celebrating this pastiche of womanhood supposed to be showing that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UBS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@UBS<\/a> takes women in finance (or LGB people) seriously?<\/p>\n<p>Should female staff be wearing fishnets and flashing their thighs?
