Some doctors are now openly validating what many people already understood: Men who identify as ladies have a strong competitive advantage over their female challengers. For many years, those who oppose enabling males to contend in women’s sports have stated the male body into which these “transgender” professional athletes were born plainly provides an edge over females.
Transgender activists have actually challenged that, declaring that testosterone suppression treatments minimize the strength of male bodies to the point where males who determine as women do not have a benefit.
According to The Western Journal, “the near clean sweep of victories racked up this year in NCAA competition by transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas brought further scrutiny to the issue.'”
The New York Times reported Monday that a doctor from the prestigious Mayo Clinic and an international physiologist who consults on sports both agreed that the male body gives athletes like Thomas an advantage over female competitors.
“There are social aspects to sport, but physiology and biology underpin it. Testosterone is the 800-pound gorilla,” Dr. Michael J. Joyner of the Mayo Clinic told the Times.
To put it simply, in spite of the testosterone suppression treatments, Thomas has a severe benefit over female swimmers.
Sports physiologist Dr. Ross Tucker agreed, saying, “Lia Thomas is the manifestation of the scientific evidence. The reduction in testosterone did not remove her biological advantage.”
The swimmer completed for the Penn men’s team as Will Thomas for 3 seasons. He was an average professional athlete who won a couple of wins occasionally however was otherwise average.
Late last year, however, Thomas returned from a hiatus utilizing the name Lia and signed up with the women’s team with the unfaltering assistance of coaches and school officials. He was quickly ruining women’s records and beating opponents like they were standing still.
Thomas did satisfy the requirements for testosterone levels, however challengers and colleagues both maintained that his more effectively male body offered him an unsurpassable benefit.
The transgender swimmer so easily beat his female challengers that he was heard boasting about how effortless it was to win.
Together with the criticism from outside the school, Thomas likewise dealt with an uprising from inside the Penn program. In December, the parents of about 10 female swimmers sent out a letter to the NCAA to require that Thomas be disallowed from contending versus ladies. The NCAA neglected the plea.
By the end of the college swimming season, Thomas had claimed championships that many said belonged to the women who were struggling to compete against him.
One Virginia Tech swimmer was extremely angry about the transgender athlete’s dominance.
“Then you go into it with a mindset that you are, you don’t have a chance, if that makes sense,” she said. “Like, it’s hard to compete against someone with the aerobic capacity, the muscle development, the body of a man — it’s hard.”
The swimmer said her teammate — who was 17th in the race for 16 areas and therefore had her location taken by Thomas– was “very emotional, and it’s hard to see since it’s her last NCAAs and she really loves that race.”
“And it was just heartbreaking to see that she put all their effort into it today, and with the best time that she’d went in the morning session before, and still not make it back. It’s hard to see someone who works every day, every night, still not be able to compete against someone like that,” she said.
The physicians who talked to the Times have actually corroborated all the issues that Thomas’ female rivals and even a few of his colleagues have actually voiced for the past year.
GMA interviewed Lia Thomas today. Great timing. Our film features one of Thomas's teammates. She told me that women on her team were silenced and referred to psychological counseling if they objected to having Thomas on the team.

If a man chooses to live his life as a woman, that is his prerogative. When his dreams about his gender impinge on the lives of actual women, his claims should have some limits.
It is obviously unjust that a professional athlete with a biologically more-powerful male body ought not be permitted to compete against less-powerful females. Transgender professional athletes will always mean the end of ladies’s sports if absolutely nothing is done.
Lia Thomas is a best case in point. He is taller, his shoulders are larger, his musculature is more powerful and he plainly had the ability to defeat almost all his challengers with ease. He wiped out a series of longstanding records accomplished by women and pushed women athletes out of championship spots. How is this reasonable?
It is long past time to end the left’s fantasy about transgender professional athletes who are rejecting the role God provided and methodically removing women from sports.
