Seeing a guy participate in women\u2019s sports obviously isn\u2019t fair. I don\u2019t like seeing it, obviously he\u2019s dominated the scene for a while, and it\u2019s just a little disappointing,\u201d one student <a href=\"https:\/\/campusreform.org\/article?id=19183\">told<\/a> Campus Reform reporter Alexa Schwerha, who traveled to Georgia Tech ahead of the NCAA Division I Women\u2019s Swimming Championship.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em><strong>Watch Below:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cAs a Division I student-athlete, I would feel like there is an unfair advantage,\u201d another student said. \u201cI think if a transgender athlete wants to compete it should be in a certain division made for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just unfair,\u201d another said. \u201cThe [female swimmers] trained their whole lives for this, and this one dude just comes out of nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust based off of the natural unfair advantage, it could be disheartening if I know I\u2019m going into an event where there is someone who can beat me just by the fact that they have a different abilities from the get-go, not based off of training. That would be hard to handle,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<p>Not all students, however, agreed. One student claimed that Thomas competing in women\u2019s swimming is okay because, \u201cMichael Phelps has enlarged lungs and that gave him an advantage in being able to become the swimmer that he became, and he got that biologically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, she transitioned to become a woman and she is, just, now a woman and she gets the ability,\u201d the student argued.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas had competed on the men\u2019s swimming team for three years at the University of Pennsylvania, before making the switch to the women\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Thomas got in the water at the\u00a0NCAA women\u2019s 500-yard freestyle race\u00a0and virtually lapped his female competitors as he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/18\/what-an-amazing-woman-lia-thomas-mocked-on-social-media-after-crushing-female-competitors\/\">cruised<\/a> to an easy victory.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can follow Alana\u00a0Mastrangelo on\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and Twitter at\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student athletes at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) disagree with Lia Thomas, a biological man, competing in the NCAA women\u2019s 500-yard freestyle race, telling Campus Reform that biological<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1392289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1392289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1392289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1392289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1392289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1392289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1392289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
