Lia Thomas appropriates women

The Lia Thomas story has reached its conclusion. For now, anyway. In
the not too distant future, we will no doubt be hearing about Lia
Thomas the Olympian, crushing his female competitors on the global
stage. But his college career concluded at the NCAA Women’s Swimming
Championship last night. Thomas competed in the 500 yard freestyle
race, though we cannot really use the word “compete” or “race.” It was
not a sporting event so much as a masquerade, a minstrel show. Thomas
was wearing his woman-face, every bit as degrading and appropriative as
black face. Much like a professional wrestling match, the conclusion of
this fake contest was decided ahead of time. It was just a matter of
inaugurating the pre-determined winner.
That happened 4 minutes and 33 seconds later, when Thomas finished in a
comfortable first place, setting a program record in the process. I
wish I could say that the room fell quiet or that boos rained down upon
Thomas when he completed the act of stealing the gold medal, but that’s
not what happened. The crowd cheered while the announcers made sure to
respect his pronouns.

ESPN interviewed the pseudo-winner Thomas after the race. The interview
is only interesting because the person conducting it is an actual
woman. If the full absurdity of this situation hadn’t yet dawned on
you, the contrast between Thomas and the actual female standing next to
him should do the trick.

Not that it makes a difference really, but you can’t help but see a
certain added arrogance in the fact that Thomas isn’t making any effort
at all to sound or appear womanly. He’s simply just a man, who looks
and sounds very much like a man, accepted as a woman because he
declared himself to be so. No additional steps required. It reminds me
of the scene from The Office when Michael Scott tries to declare
bankruptcy by simply shouting “I declare bankruptcy.”
In fact, the lack of effort goes beyond Lia Thomas’s appearance. Little
effort is made by anyone on the Left to actually explain, defend, or
justify gender ideology. They assert, demand that it is obeyed, and
expect that to be the end of the conversation. Whenever they try to go
beyond that and mount an actual defense of the practice, it quickly
devolves into gibberish and incoherence.
For example, get a load of this published yesterday by the Washington
Post and written by their sports columnist Sally Jenkins:
“Hate to tell you, but in a way, everyone is trans. As writer
T Cooper observed, all of us in life’s competitive arena are
on the way to becoming someone profoundly different than we
were, and keeping score is just a way to track the arc of a
person from youth to prime to past it. If you subtract the aim
of becomingness from competition just because you’re afraid
of a Lia Thomas and make it strictly about the chance to win
a prize, then you might as well go to an amusement park and
shoot a squirt gun at a clown face because it will have about
\ as much meaning.”
We are barely through the first paragraph and already Jenkins has had
to resort to abstract philosophical pablum about the “aim of
becomingness.” One side has a simple, logical, and straight to the
point argument: males are not females. The other side has “the aim of
becomingness.” Jenkins has no argument, nothing to offer, nothing to
say, so instead she’ll hope to convince you to be as confused as she
is. She continues:
“The debate over whether Thomas, a transgender collegiate
swimmer, has some sort of immutable biological edge over the
field in this week’s NCAA women’s swimming championships will
swamp whatever she does in the water. We look to facts to
rescue us when a subject becomes heated, but here, the science
remains unsettled. No one arguing the issue really wants to
admit it — when is the last time you heard a doctor or any
other expert say the words, “I don’t know”? But we don’t know.
Therefore, to exclude trans athletes from elite competition,
out of our own constricting fears and uncertainty, is wrong,
harmfully so.”
The science remains unsettled, she says. No, her brain is unsettled. At
least it isn’t settled anywhere in her head. It’s off vacationing in
Fiji and she’s writing her columns without it. As for the topic of
human sex, there is nothing unsettled. Indeed, the biological
distinction between male and female is just about the most settled
scientific fact in existence.
This is settled: Thomas is not a female and will never be one. He is a
man, a male, with XY chromosomes, a male anatomy (as the woman who’ve
seen him in the locker room have attested), and male gametes. But there
is a lot more to being a male than just that. The physical differences
between men and women are not confined to the reproductive system. They
can be found in every part of the body. Lia Thomas, like any male, is
male down to his bones, down to his cells, down to his DNA. As I
explained in my speech at Georgia Tech earlier in the week, when Thomas
dies and is buried beneath a giant monument celebrating him as
history’s greatest female athlete, 100 years hence he could be
excavated and his bones analyzed and scientists will be very confused
to discover that the greatest female athlete is a male. His bones will
attest to the biological reality. They will not declare his pronouns or
affirm his self-perception. There will be no self. The self is gone.
But the man remains.
It also just so happens that many of these biological differences give
him a distinct advantage over women in sports, especially swimming.
When he got in the pool, he was swimming against people with 20% less
muscle mass on average, 40 percent less upper body strength, 33 percent
less lower body strength, as well as smaller fast-twitch muscle fibers,
smaller lungs, smaller hearts, shorter legs, more estrogen and less
testosterone, and a lower capacity to produce oxygen when they exert
themselves. The list goes on and on, and on, and on some more. The side
of sanity — the side opposite Lia Thomas and Sally Jenkins — could not
be more firmly planted in reality, could not be more vindicated by the
evidence.
Well, on second thought, that’s not true. The more we learn about the
human body, the more we discover differences between men and women.
With each passing day our side is more and more vindicated by the
evidence. We just keep adding evidence to our plate, while the other
side makes do with “the aim of becomingness.”

Nobody is 'trans'. Nobody has ever successfully managed to change sex
without a full DNA transplant.

When you create an artificial and redundant 'gender' distinction
between men and women, absurdities like this are bound to happen.
Sports have always been segregated on the basis of biological sex and
for good reason. If you start allowing female impersonators to
participate in women's sports the whole thing becomes pointless.
William 'Lia' Thomas is simply delusional. 'Gender' appropriation is
no better than cultural (race) appropriation.
