    "the first openly transgender woman to win an N.C.A.A. swimming championship." This isn't about identity ("openly" or otherwise). This is about sex. Being the first male to win an N.C.A.A swimming championship *in the female category* is not progress.

    A mix of boos and cheers at the introduction of Lia Thomas before the 200-yard freestyle final. Strikingly different to how the female athletes were received.

    The relatively quiet/tense reaction from the crowd and swim teammates when Lia Thomas finished first in the 500-yard freestyle. (Compare with Taylor Ruck reaction tweet.)

    The problem now across all domains: politically correct sophistry has the presumption of truth. Time tested logic now faces an impossibly high threshold. With this inversion of reason we toss precaution to the wind and seal our fate. "He's a man" and the emperor has no clothes.

    Gosh. Well I guess you should go and get ‘tested’, Madeleine. Just to be safe…

    Just got into a debate about sex with an older woman at the NCAA swim prelims. She said, “I’m a physician and I can tell you this is very subtle. You might be a man. How do you know you’re not if you’ve never been tested?”

    The unfair rules are indeed the main problem. But let’s not forget that there is such a thing as personal integrity. And the lack of it

    We need to understand that this is NOT Lia’s fault. She is playing within the rules that have been set. If anything, this is the fault of those who failed to act when given the opportunity. 1/4
