Free at last! Thank God for graduation — UPenn’s female swimmers are free at last to compete with solely female members.
Lia Thomas graduated from the Ivy League school on Sunday. The University of Pennsylvania’s female swim team has rid itself of the controversies surrounding the transgender swimmer in what could only be described as the oddest collegiate swimming season in history.
Next year, when the female swim season begins, the roster will consist entirely of real women.
This means that fair competition has returned to the team’s women — real, actual women. This means there will be no more unfair biological advantage by a man over the women he yearns to defeat. Women will no longer be forced to look at the genitalia of a 22-year-old man in locker rooms after swimming practice. The UPenn female swimmers will be free and no longer treated like “third-class citizens.”
However, just because they are free doesn’t mean they should forget what happened to them. No woman should. And truthfully, no man should either.
Sadly, the UPenn female swim team — and all female athletes — are only free until the next Lia Thomas emerges. They are at the mercy of woke, radical, leftist school administrators and the ideologues and cowards at the NCAA who champion the causes of the woke mob over the rights of college women. Thomas’s graduation is just a metaphorical band-aid for female athletics. Unfortunately, it’s just a matter of time until the next man who suffers from gender dysphoria wants to swim or compete in any other sport against women and the people in charge do nothing to stop it.
Everyone, and I mean everyone upset about Lia Thomas swimming with girls, must continue to rally against the issue. They cannot let up solely because Thomas is gone or it is summertime. Unless they speak up or continue to challenge this radical status quo, the Lia Thomas situation will invariably repeat itself. And women will continue to be third-class citizens and oppressed by universities under the guise of LGBT equality. So while Penn’s female swimmers are free for the moment, the next Lia Thomas is lurking just around the corner, ready to take female roster spots, scholarships, and trophies.
That is unless people have the courage and fortitude to fight for change.
