EXCLUSIVE — As an Ivy League school, the University of Pennsylvania has a reputation for being one of the most intelligent institutions in the world. But given the school’s inability to differentiate between men and women, perhaps that reputation should be reconsidered.
The school’s decision to nominate transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as Woman of the Year is just plain dumb. Furthermore, it’s insulting to actual women, especially those who competed on the women’s swimming team. One of those swimmers spoke to me on the condition of anonymity and blasted the school’s decision to nominate Thomas.
“It’s a shame that Penn is still refusing to recognize the intrinsic biological difference that makes women a distinct sex from men,” the female UPenn swimmer said.
Lia Thomas is a man. He has male reproductive organs and genitalia. With some of the brightest minds on the planet, one would think Penn would not have any difficulty making this decision. But this is how toxic things have become on campus, in the country, and worldwide. Women are relegated to third-class citizens as radical left-wing ideologues diligently work to reshape human civilization and state men can be women.
Since women are no longer valued in society, it raises the question: Why differ between men and women in competitions? Just lump everyone together and may the best “person” win. It’s a question the UPenn swimmer wondered herself.
“Why have Woman of the Year, then? Just make it Person of the Year if we’re going to continue to deny the facts,” the female UPenn swimmer said.
The UPenn swimmer might be on to something. Ultimately, a genderless society seems to be the long-term objective the Left wants to accomplish. It’s the reason there’s this big cultural shift to gender-neutral everything. After decades of pushing for gender equality, they quickly dumped women in favor of those suffering from gender dysphoria. The entire world is being forced to adjust its norms and values to accommodate a small group of people who suffer from a mental condition. The messaging went from “The future is female” to “What is a woman?” in just a few years.
To left-wing sycophants, this was a natural progression in the push for equality. To any sane, rational, and objective human being, this was the latest example of the Left’s exploitation of a class of people. They’ve brainwashed millions into believing this gender ideology hogwash and seek to use it in their quest for more political power.
Yet, none of this changes reality. There are stark differences between men and women — always have been, always will be. And when it comes to sports competition, most are against the idea that men can be women, and most believe transgender women should not compete against women.
However, none of this matters to the radical Left. And sadly, as it continues to deny science, facts, and biological reality, it’s apparent that women no longer matter to it.
“Continue to deny, and we’ll see how it’s women who lose out,” the female UPenn swimmer said.
