In reply to the discussion: 16 Penn swimmers say transgender teammate Lia Thomas shouldn't be allowed to compete [View all]IngridsLittleAngel
(1,962 posts)None of the people calling for Lia's removal from competition have spoken up about Kamila Valieva and her doping, which is cheating. A number of people are fine with calling Lia Thomas a cheater when she's following the rules, why being silent on a blatant case of cheating, that is a violation of the rules. I wonder what the difference is...
Oh. Yes.
Lia Thomas isn't unfair. Kamila Valieva is. Doping creates advantages and I would bet 100,000 quatloos that Kamila's testosterone count is higher than Lia's. But that's not a problem?
The fact you and others would like to shut down my concerns is very telling. Calling me a misogynist for speaking up on trans rights is frankly bigoted in and of itself. I speak up for and care about all women, regardless of how they are born.
But, I know many here don't think trans women are real women.
