University of Pennsylvania man who goes by the name Lia Thomas, kicked butt in the 200-meter and 500-meter freestyle against the women but finished in fifth place in the 100-meter freestyle at the tri-meet with Dartmouth and Yale.
The young man finished about 2 seconds ahead of the women opponents with a time of 1:48.73 in the 200 freestyle but could not match the NCAA women's record set by Olympian Missy Franklin, whose time was 1:39.10. It turns out Thomas didn't dominate as he did at the Zippy Invitational at Akron in December.
In the 500, Thomas won by the "skin of his testicles," as it were, according to The Daily Mail.
He raced against Yale's Iszac Henig, a girl who wants to be a guy and plans to start calling herself "he," or whatever her pronouns will be that she chooses. Miss Henig's time was 49.57, destroying Mr. Thomas who swam 52.84.
Henig, who is from California and has been competing for Yale since 2018, stunned the limited spectators at the race who usually enjoy watching guys beat the gals no matter what names they choose.

One UPenn parent spoke with The Daily Mail. "I wasn't prepared for that. Everything is messed up. I can't wrap my head around this. The NCAA needs to do something about this. They need to put science into the decision and discussion."
What this parent doesn't realize is that the NCAA sanctions men competing against women in spite of how it will impact of female sports scholarships and the sports themselves.
Miss Henig has had her breasts cut off but wrote in a New York Times column in June that she was not taking hormones just yet because she wanted to compete in the pool. It would be statistically improbable for a woman athlete to beat a man athlete in swimming competitions because, you know, biology.
"As a student-athlete, coming out as a trans guy put me in a weird position. I could start hormones to align more with myself, or wait, transition socially and keep competing on a women's swim team. I decided on the latter," Miss Henig wrote with a flowery flair of her pen.
"I value my contributions to the team and recognize that my boyhood doesn't hinge on whether there's more or less testosterone running through my veins. At least, that's what I'll try to remember when I put on the women's swimsuit for the competition and am reminded of a self I no longer feel attached to."

Miss Henig is not in psychotherapy at this time, as far as we know. Her specialty is freestyle and butterfly. She also enjoys soft music, poetry by Kalil Gibran, long walks on the beach at sunset, and women who share her likes.
Thomas’ blazing pace in the pool, basically destroying the women competitors by no less than 38 seconds for second place, drew scrutiny from normal people who did not agree that men who call thems+elves women should be competing against women who call themselves women. Sadly for the women, Mr. Thomas received the blessing from the Ivy League and the school earlier in the week, because the wrath of the LGBTQ2+WXYZ community scares them.
And while I can go on and on about how the NCAA and the school reacted to the controversy, suffice it to say that both organizations are populated by cowards and science deniers no matter how much lipstick they put on that pig.
