New in PJ Media:
Lia Thomas did it, so why can’t Iszac Henig? Lia is the University of Pennsylvania swimmer who performed indifferently on the men’s team and then proclaimed that he was a woman. Competing on the women’s team, lo and behold, suddenly he became a championship swimmer, breaking records left and right and winning an NCAA swimming championship. It was the strength he got from being transgender and enduring bigotry and hate, right? So we should expect that Iszac Henig, who used to be a female swimmer and now says she is a male, would perform at the same stellar level, right? Well, it didn’t quite turn out that way. It turns out that in the cases of both Thomas and Henig, biological reality can’t simply be wished away.
Henig, according to OutKick, “finished the 2021-22 NCAA season as a women’s all-American while transitioning from female to male.” However, she “is now swimming on the guy’s team and is struggling mightily to not finish in last place at meets.” Why, this is dumbfounding! What could possibly account for Henig’s precipitous decline from the top of the ranks of female swimmers to a mediocre (at best) allegedly male swimmer? It must be deeply ingrained “transphobia” among the judges at swim meets, right?
Of course, it isn’t anything of the kind. The simple and obvious reason why Thomas did better competing against women and Henig did worse competing against men is that males naturally have greater upper body strength and can thus generally swim faster and farther than their female counterparts. Those who are enraged by this should take it up with God; there isn’t an authority on earth, much less a surgeon, who can redress this inequity. Thomas became a champion because he is a man competing with women. Henig became a poor swimmer because she is a woman competing against men.
It is absurd that anyone would refuse to acknowledge these realities, and just as absurd that in our ridiculous age, they have to be restated and restated again. But Henig was given lavish space in the New York Times Thursday to make her case in an article entitled “I Chose to Compete as My True, Trans Self. I Win Less, but I Live More.” The article is nearly two thousand words of the current delusions and self-deceptions, as is evident from the title itself. If Henig were competing as her true self, she would have remained on the women’s team. She wins less because of the inescapable physical realities, that is, her true self, which she is determinedly ignoring.
In her Times article, Henig recounts: “I placed fourth in the 50 free at the Ivy League Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships my first season, and I was the highest point scorer on the women’s team in my sophomore year.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I win less, but I live more.
Yeah, well THAT’S NOT THE POINT of high level competition.
Winning is the ONLY point; honestly that is, for those who have forgotten about “sportsmanship” in sports.

I alwsys thought taking part was the most important thing, as in the Olympics for example

Some years ago, there were no firemen who were women. There were no police officers on the street who were women. Women began in the office and some were meter-maids
Then, people decided that women were just as capable as men in any job and demanded to be given those jobs. Standards for height, weight, ability, strength, etc. were lowered so the women could pass the tests.
Having watched many cops shows, seeing women run slower, struggle with the perps longer, etc. and seeing videos of similar things happening with women firefighters, it was obvious that men are physically stronger than women. (A fact I already knew)
Is the photo above a pic of the mentally ill woman swimmer? If so, she is not very attractive; perhaps she’s just unhappy with the way she looks and jumped on the wagon of pretenses. Pretending gives her an excuse.

Lia Thomas pulled off a brilliant con job – competing in a category where he was bound to dominate. Iszac Henig did the opposite – went from a category where she was tops to one where she’s struggling not to come last 😂🤣 🏊

He’s a lesbian too. It makes the locker rooms a little more “interesting”.

If transwomen are real women and transmen are real men, then I’m the queen of Egypt.

At the risk of being thought of as some creepy dude I must say I am interested, in a Biological sense, to see what a ”trans” person looks like after surgery,that is to say, what does his Vagina look like, does it get moist, can he have an orgasm with this Vagina, does it have ALL the part a real Vagina has, Clitoris or a G Spot.
Same with a female who now has a Penis, does she have Testicles also, does this Penis get erect like a normal Penis, does it eject Sperm, does it get excited in a normal manner.
I am interested in seeing what these new sexual parts look and feel like because they SAY they are now a Male or a Female but they cannot change the Chromosomes they were born with and so Im wondering what gives them the right to change what cannot be changed.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Here’s the problem. Discussing anything with a liberal is much like explaining a train schedule to a dog. It may sit there, wagging its tail, lolling its tongue, and appearing to be paying attention. But at the end of the day, the capacity for cogent thought just doesn’t exist. It’s not its fault. It’s just the way its brain is wired. Then it will go off into a corner and lick its own rear end.
It’s no different with the dog.
