Who are we trying to protect here and who are we trying to fight for here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to stay true to what I believe in, and I\u2019m not someone who\u2019s just going to back down from anything or agree with something I don\u2019t agree with,\u201d she said. \u201cIf this was something other athletes weren\u2019t going to step up and speak up about, I guess I could be that person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019m not OK with is that they were able to just turn their backs on all of the biological females, not even just in swimming, but in all NCAA sports, just to kind of appease a small minority,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Thomas, from the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s women\u2019s swim team, utterly crushed the female competition at the 2021 University of Akron\u2019s Zippy Invitational \u2014 winning the 1650 free by a gargantuan 38 seconds ahead of the young woman finishing second. Thomas also won the 500 free by a whopping twelve seconds ahead of the woman who finished second, and won the 200 free by a still-huge seven seconds, setting new Penn records along with meet and pool records.<\/p>\n<p>Video surfaced of Thomas winning the 1650 free, showing how lopsided the race was with Thomas, who swam competitively for the men\u2019s team for three years before switching to the women\u2019s team, leaving female swimmers looking as if they were not even in the same race.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just to show you how absurd this is. Here\u2019s the trans swimmer \u201cLia\u201d Thomas crushing all of the female competitors by 40 seconds. This is what that looks like in real time. A total farce. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kAi9GgF5sj\">pic.twitter.com\/kAi9GgF5sj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog\/status\/1470978594256130050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/i-left-there-with-no-trophy-ncaa-female-swimmer-who-tied-for-fifth-with-trans-athlete-says-officials-put-lia-thomas-ahead-of-her\/\">\u2018I Left There With No Trophy\u2019: NCAA Female Swimmer Who Tied For Fifth With Trans Athlete Says Officials Put Lia Thomas Ahead Of Her<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riley Gaines, the University of Kentucky 12-time NCAA All-America swimmer on its women\u2019s team who has forthrightly denounced men in women\u2019s sports, endorsed Georgia GOP senatorial candidate Herschel Walker in a new ad noting Walker\u2019s opponent, Raphael Warnock, voted down an amendment that would keep men out of women\u2019s college sports.
