Just create a separate third transgender sports' league, problem solved.
This is BS! This man shouldn't even be competing against women in the first place
At this point, for sports, let's just get rid of gender boundaries and have a free for all in all competitions in the end I'm sure you'll see a bottle kneck of consistent winners💯.
Not a chick.
I don’t want anyone to be offended I just share what I notice.
This transgender male at the end of the interview said that he feels self-centered looking at himself all the time now.
Again That’s the part that has been consistent throughout is the “ it’s all about me” “ how I feel” Who cares about anyone else feels.
People pretend that they are okay with trans women competing in women’s sports but if they use their own common sense then it is easily. Clear out the confusion by using common sense.
It’s not hard to keep the Plainfield fair. The hard part is getting people to realize it’s nothing against them it’s just the way to be fair to everyone.
It would illuminate any injustice that has always been a fight for Womens rights.
As a woman I wouldn’t even compete against someone who was previously a man , no point really considering I’d be competing for 2nd place

STOP THIS BULLSHIT !!!!!!!
Ok… womans sports will eventually be filled with trans.
No more woman sports teams.

Hypocrisy 101 why isnt this man competing vs other man…he/she/whatever is for sure on T-boosters the other girls dont stand any chance…
I've been saying this forever why don't trans men and trans women who take hormones just compete in men's sports. A trans woman is going to have an advantage over a biological woman and a trans man is going to have a disadvantage over a biological man, but an advantage over a biological woman. Since there isn't enough trans people to be put in a trans sports league, just put them in the men's category and the problem is solved.
There's male and female that's it…
I'm not going to made to think theres anything other than that. dude drawing attention to himself because he can't hack it in the men's division. Just like the dude who's atransgender and was allowed to beat the crap out of women in the octagon and got paid for it like a coward

Unfair, look at the records. Times for women are slower across the board than for men. I swam competitively for years.
"It's not about puberty" THIS! The example of Michael Phelps is spot-on. Cis women are just using Lia's transness as an excuse to be bigoted and take out competition. Trans people should be able to compete on the team that they feel most comfortable on. They shouldn't "have" to alter their bodies just to qualify for a team and they shouldn't be subjected to unfair scrutiny by cis people. Are these ""women's"" rights people advocating for Lia?? Are they also checking the lung capacity of every other cis woman on the team?? They talk about an unfair advantage, but what about the unfair disadvantage that Lia faces with having to work harder with decreased muscle ability? If they were really advocating for women's rights, they would support Lia equally.
Soon American men will come to the Olympics and win EVERY medal. In women’s sports
why do the interviewers pause before saying something like hurting yourself lol

Who cares if someone swims fast
Tom Brady no NFL no job works for mcdonald's possibly assistant manager
My faith in humanity is restored in the comments. The media is still the enemy of the people
The simple solution: co-Ed teams, a more complex solution: if a biologically male athlete was an athlete with the muscle mass of their biological sex before deciding to transition they: should be not be making natural testosterone; and be voluntarily incased in a full body cast for a minimum of 9 months, that will cause their muscles to atrophy to the point where they will have to work as hard as a woman would have to to get back to that physicality. In the case of biologically female athletes who were athletes before transitioning: no such remedy should be necessary. That is the only way to level the playing field. Also IMO no real athlete would want to compete with people who are less capable, I argue that any biological female who is as talented and accomplished as a male athlete transitioned to female wouldn’t want to compete against other females because there is no competition, they would insist on being on the male team.
I support transgenders but not competing against biological women .
He is male muscles. He is shameful!!!
As a former athlete, the Penn State situation is so fucking wrong.
ABC News is a clown news station going along with this
Presents themselves as a "man" yet wants to compete as a woman still?
Funny the trans male swimmer "chose" to keep competing against the girls. Hmm. Its almost as if knows he would not even make the men's team. How sincere to then pretend men competing against women is same as talented men competing against lesser male competition. So silly. Hands off woman's sports.
I like transwoman
why dont they just have Gay Olympics? mi primo El Chilango es un estupido and would be the leader of the Gay Olympics.
So everybody just swims on women’s team. Whatever. 🤡🤡
Your life your choice go ahead
Why are you supporting this bullshit
Women are always underdog all our lives and someone always comes in and ruins it for us. Geez create a trans, women, and men sports category. Imagine if paraolympian joins regular women or mens sports? Wonder if that is fair? 🤦🏻♀️ stay in your lane for F….sake
Woke us a bad Joke
Just have trans swimming, wether it’s one or two in the pool
First world problems. Remember, if your having a bad day. Someone had to eat a dog to survive today.👀😖You will be ok
For it to be fair they must have their own race for them but it’s not fair for the women.
