Did you hear about about Penn State's record breaking swimmer? She is beating the other ladies by miles and setting new record times left and right. That is so awesome! Now she didn't do so well when she was a he and competed on the men's team. But now she is tearing it up!
"Before her transition, Thomas competed at Penn for three years as a male.
She recently set school records in the 200-meter freestyle and 500-meter freestyle in November. This past weekend, the record-breaking stretch continued, as Thomas set a school record in the 1650-meter freestyle. Her teammate Anna Kalandadze finished in second place — over 38 seconds behind Thomas."

I'm sure his/her parents are very proud.............
This is an interesting situation and how it might apply to Title 9.

The way to deal with this type of mental illness / scam is to not play along with it and to disincentivise it by:
1. Any records set by biological males competing in women's sports are accompanied by an "asterisk" and notation that the "record holder" is / was a biological male competing against females.
2. Make sure that NO SCHOLARSHIPS are awarded to biological males to compete in women's sports.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 12-11-2021).]

3. Quit calling "him" a "her/she. Katelin Jenner is Bruce Jenner. Always been Bruce in my book.
This guy Thomas, ... is a more ugly faggot than Bruce.

It's a fixture of American popular culture that an asterisk was recorded in Major League Baseball's record book next to the name of Roger Maris, when Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961, breaking the 1927 mark of 60 home runs in a single season by Babe Ruth. The asterisk, in popular mythology, signifies that Babe Ruth set his 1927 mark when there were only 154 games in Major League Baseball's regular season, but Maris didn't top the 60-mark until the last of the 162 regular season games that the Yankees played in 1961.
That distinction was in fact made manifest in MLB's record book, but contrary to the longstanding myth, it was never signified with an asterisk.
Why not a "transgender asterisk" in cases like this? So this transgender woman is recorded as the female record holder, but with an asterisk next to her name. And the cisgender woman that deserves the mark is also recorded as the Cisgender Female record holder.
Obviously, it doesn't address the issues of team sports, but in an individual sport like swimming, why wouldn't a transgender asterisk bring fresh comfort?

I say we let this absurd nonsense continue to its inevitable conclusion. After all, what choice do we have? At some point, there will be a “Women's Rights” movement based on the irrefutable fact that men and women are different.
Traditional values are based on thousands of years of trial and error. This is a trial which will certainly culminate in a spectacular error. Just sit back and watch.
The woke can either awaken or go to hell.

And that is supposed to make the legit girls that are competing against the trans person feel better?
You, go to that school and personally explain it to those females, or better yet, go explain it to their parents and let us know how that works out for you.
This is no different than the Soviets and Eastern bloc countries administering androgens to their female Olympic athletes.
