Someone called me a transphobe when I posted the photo of Lia diving into the pool with the other (actual, biological) girls, and I pointed out the armspan. "They just need to work harder!" HOW CAN THEY INCREASE THEIR WINGSPAN??
Damn that’s sad, I’m trans myself and I can’t stand these clowns, men and woman are built different and there’s a reason why trans women dominate female competitions, I personally think they should leave female sports to the bio women.
Because this is a religion. Trans people become dieties… above us mere cis mortals. Just like Buddist monks, cult leaders, Catholic priests, and medicine man. They become revered, set-apart, special, more spiritual than everyone else. It is a religion.
@@tempesttossed6029 It's only the ones who lecture the rest of us about what horrible subjects we all are because we don't bow to their whims. The squeaky wheel, and all that.
The part that annoys me about people who think this is ok is when they say "It's just a sport, it's not a big deal, who cares?". It's scholarships, educational opportunities, job opportunities, careers, money that you are taking away from biological women who deserve them.
I don't know if anyone remembers Caster Simenya. She was actually BORN a girl, but had undeveloped male organs as well, that she was never aware of. She has more testosterone than most females, but not as much as males, even athletically dismal ones. But the Athletics boards, including the Olympics athletics board, ruled that she would have to take testosterone blockers in order to compete with other females. A WOMAN who naturally produced extra testosterone could not compete with other women. Here they are completely disregarding that this swimmer has the build of a man, WAS a man, and has an actual unfair advantage.
I think you will find that she had no ovaries or uterus, but did have testies and micro penis. All this was not her fault, but it did give her a very unfair advantage. Anyone looking at her instinctively saw a male, as this was predominant.
I think it's important to separate women/men from female/male/intersex. Semenya was clearly a woman and female, but she wasn't fully. , intersex conditions are medical conditions where you don't properly develop into a male or female body. The athletics board fully had a right to have her medically transition into being more female. I don't see anything wrong with this, and for many intersex people, it's medically necessary to take hormones or have operations when they're ready. Trans people are pushing themselves into an "intersex" state and some are like they're fully the opposite sex, like Lia Thomas. She's more male than female.
It’s not about their gender identities. Their gender identities are not competing against other gender identities. It’s the body that competes and the advantages bestowed on someone who went through male puberty are not fair if they want to compete in women’s sports.
Exactly! We separate sports by sex and weight for a reason. If trans-woman want to compete in sports (as they should) then they should compete against OTHER trans-women. That's not that hard.
@@toomessy better option because there's not enough trans people is to make mens sports cross-sex for non-team sports and then for team sports make cross-sex a 3rd category for competitive
I feel like society gaslights the hell out of us so much these days. Like, pointing out a very obvious difference between lea and the other athletes somehow makes me the crazy one
The debate is not about trans rights. It's leftists against sane people. There is a subset of people in these "rights groups" who are simply leftists, they do not care about trans rights, they just want to destroy what they call heteronormative society. It's not about asking for acceptation of difference, it is about erasing difference by destroying the norm. Every norm, basis and tradition of western society they want to destroy : family, marriage, tradition, religion, sex, women and men. They are termites and want to destroy our society. I am French, we have this mentally ill leftists too, and they promote islam which is very patriarchal and traditionnal. These leftists have no problem defending tradition as long as it is not western. They hate themselves and they hate the west. They just hate western tradition and want to destroy it.
I swam for 8 years, including my high school team. The time differences between men and women is crazy. It can be as much as a minute for some of the longer races. It's incredibly unfair and overshadows incredible athletes.
Of sports, swimming is one men have a particular biological advantage in when compared to women. From lung capacity to upper body strength to the actual alignment of bones. Its nothing against trans women, its just how it is.
I was doing a pool workout recently. A really tall fit man came to the pool that session and shared the lane with me. The difference between our swimming was like a trout ( me!) and an orca 🤣
As a female athlete this kind of thing upsets me to no end, thank you for speaking up. Also the reason most female athletes don't speak up is in fear of losing sponsorships, etc
Class divisions in sport, such as age, weight, and sex classes have never had anything to do with self-identification. You don't just get to decide which class you qualify for; they're based on objectively measurable traits that directly relate to performance level.
They don't have weight divisions in swimming, maybe going forward in sports, there should be weight and height categories breaking down the male and female divisions further?
Why not have different divisions for people that come from wealthy families that are able to financially support them and cover expenses so that the competitor can spend all of their time training and maintaining a perfect diet vs. Someone that doesn't come from money that has to maintain another job, buy cheaper food, cook themselves, clean their own houses, pay for their own medical care, etc.? Economic class plays a massive role in just about every facet of life including sports too. Talent is important, but two people equally talented, one with financial support one without, will have VERY different challenges in something like sports.
I find it kind of sad that a male who ranked 462 in men's swimming is still stronger than the second place female contestant. I mean if the TG swimmer was like in the top 20 in men's and #1 women's it would be one thing but #462?
I have more respect for an athlete competing fairly and placing 462, then one who plays with an unfair advantage and ranks number 1. At 462, you’re practically living in obscurity, but at number 1, you’re a pathetic joke and a loser
I'm a distance runner. Was good enough to qualify for States back in high school, but not one of the top performers. I'll never forget when my completely non-athletic ex-boyfriend joined track, beat my one-mile time after about three months, and then mocked and belittled me for it. He was shorter than me, not a 'Lia Thomas' type at all, yet he still did in a few months what I couldn't do in a few years. People don't seem to understand the magnitude of the biological difference.
Men just don't get it. A male personal trainer I met in the gym clearly didn't realise females are different based on how he reacted to my performance as a female. My bf doesn't get it either. My bf's athletic abilities without him doing any sports far outpace mine (I'm also sedentary). He thinks when I need to. catch my breath on a climb, I just need to push through. Dude, I'm literally not getting enough air to sustain this level of activity. Meanwhile, he doesn't even break a sweat. Women aren't just 'short men'.
Perfect example!! And same: I have always been active in a variety of sports and forms of exercise. My husband stopped being active after college. Fourteen years after he graduated college he joined me in Crossfit which I had been doing for a year. Day one he out ran me, out lifted me and pull ups were practically effortless for him.
I had the same experience with my boyfriend. We were the same height, same size shoe, but when we got together I weighed more than him and was working a very physical job while he was working retail. He could absolutely demolish me in any physical competition. Thankfully while being encouraging, not belittling. It also helps that he fully understands there are clear and severe differences between male and female physiology.
When I was 12 I was in a swim competition with both genders (I’m female) & only the first 15 got to move on, I got 16th place & everyone ahead of me was male. I can’t imagine how much that would hurt in a professional environment because I stopped competing after that.
@insertname9581 That's worthy of an interview in this whole situation. I'm so sorry that possibility was taken from you. That's life effecting!! I hope you can and would tell your story to more audiences.
It really pisses me off when trans activists tell female competitors to "get better" or "you're just not good", trying to excuse this ridiculous behavior. Women in sports are already training their best and pushing themselves so hard to compete against the best. Physiologically, there's a limit to how much one can improve themselves. To tell women to "just get good" is a slap in the face. Why should women have to accommodate for the 0.06% in the first place, while we take the hit? How does it make sense? Activists don't even care about how women feel, as long as the trans peoples feelings aren't hurt lol. And I have no problems with trans individuals. May they live their lives peacefully and however they wish, but I am not okay with things that are personally affecting women.
More women are not speaking out because they are afraid of being unfriended, canceled, disowned. Mostly by other women!! It's crazy!! Women athletes especially risk their entire careers if they speak up. I've had full on arguments with people that can look at the picture of Lea Thomas and the other swimmers and say that they are the same and its a fair competition. We are no longer living in the same reality as these people LOL. I support someones decision to transition and live their best life as a woman or a man. But some things just can't be denied, and overlooked like this women's sports thing.
So true! There was literally a woman I'm facebook friends with post "unfriend me if you're transphobic". The only reason she probably didn't block me was because I'm a trans woman and disagree with Lia competing. I can only imagine the crap women would have gotten from her if they spoke out. My own cousins are female athletes and I just know they didn't speak out because of the woke cult.
Agreed. I’ve always considered myself passionate about the underdog. I hate when people are bullied or made to feel they can’t live their life but their seems to be so room for discourse in this situation. I cried yesterday when I realised the word woman has been taken from women. Biological females are responsible for all human life being birthed. That’s the difference between a trans woman and a biological woman. It’s not bigoted to say that. You can love and care about trans people and also point out they a trans woman is exactly that. A trans woman.
If transwomen deserve to compete against women because there’s no biological advantage, then let’s merge all sports. All men and all women all together. Why do we even separate sports in the first place? Maybe because it wouldn’t be fair….
It would also be dangerous for women, but especially girls. Raging hormones, having the 2 sexes change naked in front of each other, compete against each other through physical contact...would be so many assults and lawsuits among other issues
@@parisz This is a problem in every first world country. Curious you never hear about transwomen in places like the Congo where young girls and women are routinely kidnapped and sold into sex slavery
@@parisz As an American, I'm starting to wonder why Mexico didn't help build the wall, and if Canada is about to fence us in from their border as well.
Lia Thomas isn't actually Trans... they have admitted that they have a sexual fetish of being a woman and actually get off on it, nothing to do with gender dysphoria. This makes them a pervert tbh.
Yes some of the ones who like women start off as what used to be called transvestic crossdressers. Just like Chris from mr Beast or even Dylan who says they like women! They cause all the sports, prison, and restroom issues!!The Blaire Whites or Kim Petra’s type are never the issue and you have to like women to have autogynephilia!
I'm a female athlete and I'm extremely against Trans women competing in female sports. I played ncaa golf and golf is a sport that gives handicaps to women. Why? Because we are physically different from men. We cant hit as far so to make it fair, we are allowed to hit from shorter distances. We're not better or worse. It's not a bad thing. It's just a fact of life. I don't hate trans people. I don't hate men. I just want to make sure that women in sports get to play on a fair level.
Whenever I read about this it makes me somewhat upset. I play basketball and hockey and if a trans woman played against me it wouldn’t be fair. I have seen men play hockey and basketball they could outplay in the female leagues. I am not against LGBTQ, I use to run a club in college with some and they became some of my greatest friends. I understand they want to be like me and I respect that. I think there is a solution to this, but we need both sides to cooperate to find that. But as of now the clear thing is that this is unfair.
Hormone blockers can not break down skeletal growth, arm length, leg length, etc. I love how we THINK we can scientifically make someone another gender or if we just "say" we're something and that makes it true. Craziness beyond craziness.
I used to be a competitive swimmer and I realize how hard this is for all those girls mentally. Getting up every day at 5AM, working your butt off and having no social life whatsoever. All those sacrifices just to enter the competition when you know very well there isn't a chance in hell for you to win or even place.
That's the reason why I quit basketball and swimming. I got a real good chance for both at a young age, but I really didn't want the life that comes with being a professional athlete. It's so unfair what's happening.
Don’t worry he will throw a match or too so it can be said see we don’t have a advantage I lost I mean transwomen in sports can’t win all matches . Ppl will see they have a advantage. So they have to lose sometimes
This. You can understand that there will always be someone better than you, but you can always strive to compete against yourself. BUT… if you go in knowing you’re going to get slaughtered from the jump, it is really demoralizing
The fact of having gone through male puberty means the man has a huge advantage over women no matter how much testosterone is 'reduced', if indeed it can be reduced at all.
@@HJuri750 Agreed, don't let them make you use another term for clarification. That means they win. If you have a womb you are a woman in my book but if you want me to call you Shirley or Bob I will oblige you out of politeness.
Thats true. Some of the girls on Lia's team wanted to come forward but where told they would be off the team if they did. Hard to stand up when you're threatened with having everything you've worked for be ripped away from you. Its a no win. It will be insult to injury of Lia claims to be a feminist:because in NO WAY is this supportive of women. This is supportive of men who want to be treated as women. NOT supportive of actual women.
@@neuronactivation5614 that may be true however gay men were a massive part of spearheading that movement too. Also thay movement was several generations before these girls. So really these girls are getting a taste of what their grandparents and great grandparents did. As is Lia. Love is love started with the hippie movements make war not love movement. Its fascinating to read about I highly recommend it!
I was a swimmer for 14 years and I honestly NEVER witnessed a female beat a male at ANY race. NEVER. Even at the ages below 10 years of age. We (my team and surrounding area teams) would do mixed (men vs women) "races" for charity or for other reasons once or twice a year. There are multiple, huge differences between men and women and we need to get the hell back to reality.
I was a swimmer until age of 20 and when I was 11 us girls had to swim several seconds(!) faster than the boys to qualify for regionals, nationals etc. Girls were faster than boys, it's the puberty that changes it all. When puberty started, the boys became faster.
Same. I remember freshman year we did boys vs girls relay, our fastest vs their fastest.................................................................,....................................... And we beat them by about that much lol
Up until puberty, boys and girls are roughly the same, and girls can even beat boys at certain strokes. I swam for a YMCA and recently am coaching, and we had a 9-10 age group girl beat even the boys' heats in 50 and 100 breaststroke at a championship meet.
@@redwall1521 yes. The 1 girl, at age 9....out of hundreds of thousands of girls of various ages. We get it, there's always a few exceptions. But we're speaking for the majority here
@@notmetagaming not really, girls and boys at early ages are very similar in speed and build to boys, because neither have hit puberty. Same thing back when I was 9-10, there was a girl who would always race me during practice and it was very close. Did I also mention the girl in question was also 11 at the time she "beat" all of the other 9-10 kids because of how age group qualifications work?
As a female swimmer 🏊♀️ this should NEVER have been allowed, a one second time difference is a mile in Swimming. THANK YOU BLAIRE FOR SPEAKING FACTS 👏
@@RelaxingSounds-fr1yn no...only the nuts of the past 20 or less years have been saying sex isn't determined by biology. Women rights activists have never claimed to have dicks.
@@RelaxingSounds-fr1yn No women in the 21st century did not make this claim on the whole. Some politicians and activists certainly did though lol. This has been a political conspiracy to maintain a divisive nature socially as to ensure that intelligent and capable people are not able to unite against our tyrannical governments... hmmmmm
@science girl2239 I see it very differently. People are NOT hating on trans women. An individual personality problem should never mar an entire group. I don't even think Lia is trans? I do think he is a narcissistic, misogynist, gay man living a complete lie. He has done the absolute bare minimum to compete. He's just a shit person in general. (not worthy of "she") Most women and trans women care enough for others to not cause such blatant harm. Many are laughing with you though. On that we agree! 😃
@@laurykristensen6239no. Lia is a heterosexual male who has autogynephila. He is not clinically homosexual. He is heterosexual and likes women! The other type of trans woman is like Blaire and sexuality attracted to men, and those types are never the issue. It’s always a former straight man who probably has kids trying to pass himself off as a “trans lesbian” 🙄
@@tula1433 There are actual trans women who like women, who have real gender dysphoria and get a full sex change and behave respectfully towards women, and there are male drag queens who enjoy the fetish and don’t identify as trans women and don’t intrude on biological women. It’s a bit more nuanced than that. Autogynephylia is not transgender. It can sometimes manifest in a healthy way, and it sometimes manifests in a grifter pretending to be confused about who he is because he has narcissistic ambitions and needs attention. They should not be in the same category as trans women (straight or gay or bi I don’t care), or drag queens. They’re a whole other category.
As a bio fem swimmer, there is a huge difference in time comparisons between males and females. We probably have one of the biggest time gaps in sports, so it's scummy for this to slide. A teenage boy has the ability to drop 10 seconds in a year for his events with a consistent training schedule, the same is not said for a female, maybe 5-6 depending on the event. It's just biology that boys are stronger than girls, which sucks for me. But there's nothing you can really do about it.
I like how they don't want biologic women with testosterone issues to compete, but they are ok with bio male who has recently transitioned to compete against bio women. Great.
Because your Not nor will you ever be a woman! Truth and Fact's. You can identify or acknowledge your self as a unicorn but sweetie it's not true and never will be!
becuase biological..... that don't mean what you think it does. i think they ment cis. nothing wrong with it. but when we make this complaint can we also take the people that are over 6 foot in basketball? that's an unfair advantage.
As an NCAA athlete, I know how strict they can be on stuff. Some of the rules we have to follow are ridiculous, but we HAVE to follow them or we could lose eligibility. It's all in the name of fairness, which is understandable. HOWEVER, when they go and let stuff like this, it undermines everything they say about fairness. Lia should be allowed to transition in whatever way, but LIA should be the one to face the consequences of that transition in sports, not every female athlete. if Lia wants to go and take hormones and transition in a way that may be detrimental to athletic performance, that shouldn't be put on any woman who's also trying to compete.
I hate this attitude that they should have to experience zero sacrifices and have zero limitations. It's unfortunate to be born in the wrong body and not get to experience life as a the woman you wished to be from day 1. I'm AFAB and have gender dysphoria myself (I've decided not to transition but if given the choice I would restart my life as a biological male if I could). But we all have to examine our options in life based on the lot we were given. We can't expect to have it all. What gets me is that most althete's careers as profesional athletes are short lived to begin with only lasting through their college years. If competing was that important to you, you can put off your hormone replacement therapy for a few years. But why wait when you can instantly jump from 497th place to number 1 in a year?
I was an NCAA athlete, and some of our rules for our sport was you can’t cuss (even if you’re saying lets fucking go / not cussing out another team), there are uniform standards when it comes to how big a logo should be on each piece of clothing / gear, words, etc, just look up any sport online followed by ncaa rules & just take a look at the thick handbooks
I think allowing exemptions for trans people around strict rules is what makes people angry. For example, everyone was saying Trump banned trans people from the military. And I jumped on this bandwagon of how messed up it was. Then my boyfriend at the time, who was in the military, explained to me he didn’t ban trans people. Just no one can be in the military if you need to be on medication since the military doesn’t know if they can get you meds in a war zone. They made an exemption for trans people. Which is dumb because withdrawal from testosterone and estrogen can lead to brain fog, difficultly sleeping, mood swings, all things that can be deadly in a war zone. So trump said trans people have to follow this rule as well. It makes me sad because most trans people understand why these rules are in place and don’t want exemptions. But the loud minority ruins it for the rest of trans people.
Just because someone takes hormones, does not mean they can claim that gender. I was given ridiculous doses of danazol ( synthetic testosterone) to treat endometriosis and I was and am still a woman. This is ridiculous that a man can take female hormones and claim to be a woman. I don't care what people do in their private lives, but to compete against women is just insane. Thank you, Blaire, for speaking on this crime.
10:32 "God forbid Lia's feelings get hurt, to hell with all the women." Wow you nailed it there! 👏 I love hearing you speak facts about all this. So refreshing.
Does lia even have a performance advantage given they did pretty much the same in terms of ranking with the men. I mean second qualifying rather than 1st qualifying isn’t really that much and is probably lower than if she were born a cis woman given the way sports science and funding lags behind for woman’s sports.
@@ojyochan I don't know that chick with a beard/dude in a dress looks like she takes it pretty serious. I'm not kidding either. Now most of the crap on tik tok seems like either a grift or insanity.
8:38 girl. They removed JK Rowling from her own damn franchise for speaking about trans people. I can only imagine female athletes are trying to protect themselves/their careers.
I'm an adult who read the HP books when they first came out. I don't understand the minds of children who think her books and characters have anything to do with the real world. Her books are fiction, kids!
The thing is you don’t see female athletes defending lia. It’s always the people who have never and will never compete in woman’s sport and have never experienced what it would be like to compete, as a woman, against a man.
I'd imagine that a women being forced to be different from other women is not exactly the benign thing you are making it out to be. Especially since these women have had to fight to even be considered women in the first place.
@@thesmity31 Transwomen ARE different from women. It's not "forced", it simply is. I will never be tall, but that's NOT the same as saying I am "forced" to be short.
I am a MD. Whoever came up with the measurable testosterone level below a certain level for a certain amount of time equates one to now being a female makes no sense. I am a male. If I had a surgery to remove my testicles for any reason such as cancer, trauma, etc., in a short time after, my testosterone level would measure ZERO. That blood level of testosterone below a certain amount would not make me a female, which is the argument the sports governing board is making. My chromosomes are still XY, no matter if my testosterone levels are high, normal, or low. Females are still XX, no matter their estrogen levels high, normal, or low. XY chromosomes are linked to bigger body size, larger muscle mass, larger bone density, more strength, etc. Yes, testosterone levels do accelerate the physical changes, but lack of testosterone after one transitions as an adult does not negate much the years of training with with heavy weights, their frame size does not shrink, their longer muscle bellies do not shorten, etc.
how about MtoF trans kids who have been able to take puberty blockers and therefor do not build the sort of muscle mass, etc. that young men do? aren't they on a level playing field with ciswomen?
omfug Good point. I think transitioning prior to puberty would negate the male gains made normally as a result of testosterone levels. But transitioning AFTER puberty too me, is a completely unfair advantage.
@@eyeguyeyeguy1 it is an unfair advantage and I wonder why Thomas can't see how he ranked swimming as a male for Penn as opposed to dominating the women's team, I have read that she wants to make the Olympics (she will always have an asterick beside her wins, I guess when you are that motivated that the notion of "cheating" doesn't impress itself on you.) There is a reason that men and women don't compete together in most sports, also notice how Females to Male aren't even an issue on school teams for obvious reasons, although if on testosterone and forced to compete with cisgirls usually the trans male wins (If using testosterone.) It truly is a brave new world.
@@omfug7148 1.) puberty blockers, aka lupron, are incredibly dangerous and essentially sterilize a person 2.) no, a boy put on lupron will still never be female, and will always have a male body with unchangeable physical differences from a female. It will always be unfair to include males in female sports.
As someone who spent most of my life competing in womens swim, I can say that Lea competing is totally unfair. I have swam against men in the sport for practice, and if someone had that height and muscle mass against me I would lose undoubtably. It wouldn’t even be a competition, I would just get my ass handed to me.
Draft a WNBA team of mediocre biological men with long wavy hair and let them demolish every team on the roster in one season. For one season, allow low ranked biological men to dominate tennis. Nod along as biological females lose every LPGA tournament to unranked biological men . Just let it play out to absurdity.
Who cares if lia Thomas is a man. Women wanted equal rights and.m now they have it, good luck beating that guy ladies. The trans man wants to go into the army, like wise we have to let the trans woman swim in a pool. I’m tired of the one way street logic
You are a great advocate for the normal people trans community... It's horrendous what is happening and dividing people on issues related to trans that shouldn't be happening.
I am fast becoming transphobic; It has taken a few years but at the rate this stupid agenda is advancing I will no doubt in the near future wear the transphobic badge with pride. I am fed up with how harmful this is to so many in society. That said; I have watched Blairs videos a few time, seen a few interviews and always enjoyed her point of view, mostly agreeing. She is delightful, so I guess it is not that I am transphobic, but just sick of the toxic, unfair nasty crap that is going on with a segment of this community.
@@sallybennett7869 except we can be canceled you don’t realize that. People keep losing their jobs for not biding by it. And I have lots of bosses who are TRANS, if I was open about this it be my death
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Create a trans league. We have paralympics for disabled and there are different classifications among that (blindness, missing limbs, etc). WIN WIN for everyone
I've thought this from the very beginning of this debacle. Thing is, I'm not even sure this is a trans thing. Call me sinical, but I actually think it's an ego issue on the behalf of the person who was once a shockingly bad male swimmer, needing the validation of being a winner, no matter what the cost is to anyone else. There's a total and utter lack of integrity in this, and it's stirring up these feelings of the ego issues. I could be entirely wrong, but that's my gut instincts talking.
Let's be honest though there's not enough Trans people for a Trans league people always forget how small of a population this is and how small the amount of professional level athletes any population is gonna have on top of that. It's a good ass idea though I just don't think for basketball for example there's 12 Trans athletes that could compete on a professional level to have full league with full teams
Or maybe just class people based on size and muscle mass rather than gender at all. Or by lung capacity (like in swimming or running or other activities that require a lot of breath support).
@@scooby25611 that just isn't practical there would be dozens if not hundreds of classes if it was based on that and then you have the issue of how do you even find enough people to fill the new classes? It's just not fair if someone was born really small or really tall that they basically won't be able to compete at most levels cause there's just not gonna be enough people for the outliers to compete against on a local level, the level everyone starts at.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. As a woman, I appreciate everything you said. I am not a "cis" woman and will never call myself that. It's refreshing to know that a lot of transgender people are not on board with what happened. Kudos to you and keep doing what you're doing.
Do any of you people know that Caitlyn Jenner spoke out against Lia Thomas, Jenner appeared on Fox News’ “America Reports” and emphasized her belief that she does not believe transgender athletes should compete in sports of the gender to which they have transitioned.
I'm trans and me and my whole circle of (trans)friends agree with you on this. Lets just say that the trans sports memes were going strong the past few weeks on our discord. We usually joke about this stuff and let the crazies do what they want but I feel like it gets too much and we start feeling unconfortable aswell.
The majority of people, me included, are totally accepting of a man choosing to live as a woman or vice versa. It is only where it creates a genuine issue for others that we have a problem, and demolishing womens sport is certainly right in this territory.
Honestly there is no such thing as the trans "community". We're all different people with different interests and opinions. It's honestly become just a new way of saying "you people" How many times have you seen someone comment on a trans person's post "I would support you but 'your community' says x". Like wtf? Do I not get to be an individual? Am I responsible for the actions and opinions of people who I don't even know exist?
Everytime I speak out about this other trans women attack me. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even want to identify as trans publicly and just transition in silence. I’m embarrassed to be trans these days
I’m not trans but it makes me sad to hear you say that. I really hope this dog and pony show will sort itself out so you don’t feel embarrassment any longer. You should be able to speak your mind without judgment or being attacked by others. Certainly not from your own community. Stay strong.
looks like a time to stop identifying with a group and just identify as an individual you are. This tribalistic shit is what's drivin this insane agenda anyways. Most of people don't care if you're trans or whatever when you're reasonable decent human being not obsessed with group identity
Honestly i feel that, i completely avoid saying it to people unless i absolutely have to tbh. I used to be able to tell people i was trans with no issue like ever and we'd be cool, but nowadays it's different. I've actually lost friends because I've come out to them, which was never an issue with people say 2 years back..
@@jenniferusher5564 you go Jennifer! Such a cool story and I’m glad you understand that just because we’re against someone like Lia Thomas competing against women, doesn’t mean we don’t love and respect all our trans brothers and sisters in our society.

Preach it sister!! Had to give my mother a reality check on this topic…. I appreciate her support for transgender folks especially considering I am one but don’t blindly support everything!! Where is the common sense these days!
Blair, you are such an honest trans and so true to this whole thing. What’s wrong to claim trans women when one is a trans woman. Why do they feel inferior to be a tans women? They should accept who they are and we accept them too. We as a society, should be fair to the real biological women, too. So lame…
William Thomas' older brother Wes Thomas was a star swimmer on Penn U's men team and broke several records. Women are collateral damage in this sibling rivalry.
The thing about female athletes defending themselves is that it is really hard to do. You can get your social media accounts deleted and get into real trouble if you say something that can make trans people look bad. Very few female athletes dare to speak about this topic as it can ruin their careers. There are actually a few who have spoken, you can find it on UA-cam, and you can clearly see how scared they are of saying something in the wrong way.
I just posted about this a few minutes ago on this page. I gave 4 reasons why young female athletes don't speak up. The short answer is fear. It's the same thing that keeps people in politics from giving a definition for the word, "woman". It's the same thing that prevents people from defending JK Rowling, Kathleen Stock, or Graham Linehan. These people are heretics to the trans demands ideology & to associate with them means the mob will turn on YOU. It's the same thing that has controlled people throughout the darkest chapters of human history,- from Mao's Cultural Revolution to the Nazis to witch trials to the Inquisition. Fear & intimidation keep people from speaking up.
What would be very difficult but necessary for them to do is to withdrawal from all leagues and competitions that enforce these new rules and start over again as it was. Building from the ground up. This is not an easy request but if all female athletes stopped completing trans athletes wouldn’t have anyone to complete with. It would appear as if they ruined it for everyone but the point is, they already have.
I did hair for several years. There was a man (this was 20 years ago) that was VERY feminine that I worked with. He couldn't stand me because I was pregnant. We got into an argument one day because I was tired of working with his hustle behavior (every single day) toward me. I told him I wasnt going to hold back my life just to make him feel "better". His voice quickly went from squeaky to deep bass, pumped up his arm muscles, darted toward me while stating "I'm literally going to kill you"! Thankfully there was another man there to hold him back. He could have, and would have, beat me to a bloody pulp. I was very bitter toward transgenders, as a whole, because of my experience. Since I found your videos you have educated me to understand the difference of healthy and unhealthy thought process on this subject! I greatly appreciate and admire you for being true to who you are! And of course how courageous you are for voicing common sense. Thank you!!
Transwomen appropriate womanhood until it becomes convenient to be a man. Womanhood to them is just a shirt to put on and then take off when it's inconvenient.
These women sacrifice so much to get to this moment. Most started swimming at a very young age. They practiced before school, after school and weekends. They traveled to swim meets and competitions all over the country. They gave up so much just to get to this point. They traded time with friends and family, vacations, dating and so much more all for strength, technique, speed, endurance and a chance to be the best. Any free time they did have was usually spent studying. Some even found a way to have a job because their scholarship did not cover everything. As they are on the starting block waiting for the gun to sound they know that nobody worked harder than they did, that nobody wants it more than they do. They know that they can beat any woman God ever made.
It’s so frustrating to be labeled as transphobic for standing my ground on this one. I’m sure Iia is a great girl and I wish her the best in her transition, but this isn’t okay. If you think Lia didn’t have an advantage, you’re on crack.
Honestly though, who CARES if someone calls you transphobic? It means nothing to me because I know who I am & am comfortable with who I am & I don’t need affirmation from virtual strangers to be confident in myself. That’s why I don’t care if they call me names, it doesn’t bother me one bit, they are the ones getting all worked up about it, not me. Just don’t let others opinion of you get under your skin-YOU define you, they don’t.
Lia is not a « girl ». First because girl imply underage. He is an adult male that isn’t even trying to look like a woman, he flashes his genitals to his teammate, doesn’t care he makes them uncomfortable, sounds like a male. There is no way ever you wanna to call this dude a « girl ». With blaire you do. With him no way. Full man. No mistake possible. It’s actually deep disrespect for women to call this misogynist a woman. Because how much contempt for women do you need to behave like he does without feeling an ounce of compassion for the one he claims himself to be part of. Blatant misogyny.
@@simonceline4799Hear, hear. Let’s stop pretending and making this shit even more complicated than what it needs to be. That’s a male with every intention to remain a male in appearance along with everything else while taking advantage of female sports - even walking around locker rooms nude around other females who are very likely extremely uncomfortable with it but can’t say anything. Doing the very thing we all said would happen the moment we went down this slippery ass slope of “acceptance”. I’m sorry, but it’s going to take more than costume jewelry and growing out your hair to convince me that I am supposed to see you as being someone even remotely like the rest of us females. There’s zero effort. People won’t sit and ask themselves why it’s only MtF doing this. Probably because deep down they know that no matter how much people inject into their body, they’ll never be able to match the physical strength a male that already went through puberty has. Basic ass science … something we’ve been preached at for the last two years to trust and refer to, but those same types will conveniently ignore it when it goes against their own social/political views because they’re more scared of being called a transphobe than sticking to the truth. I swear, we deserve all the mockery on the world stage for even entertaining this shit.
Lol the trans community sadly has been shooting them selves in the foot for several years now. Hence why so many of us want nothing to do with the movement
@@CharcoalTeddy We need to admit LGB/ and all the symbols and numbers are two different things. If Dave Chapelle can see it idk why we pretend trans has anything to do with gay.
@@CharcoalTeddy same I'm trans and I want nothing to do with the lgbt movement or the insane trans lobby makes us all look nuts and does nothing to help us x.
Ive always supported LGBT people but after all these incidents where people are literally actively erasing and blurring the lines of sex differences, it becomes difficult. When someone speaks facts and logic they are instantly labelled as transphobic. And there are enormus amounts of internal contradictions in these groups that any sane person wouldnt support. Blaire is really brave and i totally agree with her. But agreeing with her apparently makes us transphobic Edit- T should be separated from the LGB. Even if not I fully continue to respect LGB
The whole "speaking facts and logic and they label you as a bigot" is not anything new. This has been a thing since SJWism rose up in 2013/14. This is a trend with the whole progressivism (not liberalism) movement, and it needs to be spoken out against.
I think all of these trans gender women were just men who got tired of getting kicked in the balls. Think about it, women often say things like, "I think I'm ready to have another child, it's been two years since I last gave birth", but when was the last time you heard a man say, "I think I'm ready to get kicked in the balls again, it's been two years since I last got kicked in the groin"? But you know, you've got to respect any man that's willing to cut off his balls to compete as a woman, as it takes real balls to do something like that.
The problem is, woman divers don’t want to speak out because when they do, people accuse them of being transphobic. They probably fear they will be kicked out of their university or their swim team.😕 Really enjoyed your video! Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️
Women swimmers and divers but yes. I does bother me a little when they say these athletes fear loosing a scholarship. Swim programs get a paltry amount of scholarship money to hand out that amounts to something like three full scholarships. I believe it's more about loosing opportunity and being canceled then most of these women being afraid of loosing a scholarship.
The only way to stop this madness is for all the women to turn their backs and not jump in when the whistle goes off. People have to fight this, and push back constantly!!! These extremists will NOT stop. I am not going to stop speaking up against this madness either.
Speaking of getting "kicked", I think all of these trans gender women were just men who got tired of getting kicked in the balls. Think about it, women often say things like, "I think I'm ready to have another child, it's been two years since I last gave birth", but when was the last time you heard a man say, "I think I'm ready to get kicked in the balls again, it's been two years since I last got kicked in the groin"?

You presented your views on this perfectly. I saw Caitlin Jenner saying it is totally unfair for any transgender male to compete against women. She made the point that even with 0 testosterone she can beat the socks off biological women in her sports any day. That photo of the team diving into the pool says exactly why she is right with that comment.
You have such an observant intellligent way to explain everything. Love it. I feel for women's sports and the struggle that biological women athletes have against trans women (and all that Testosterone).
Katie Ledecky swam 9 seconds faster than Lia Thomas. Why undermine cis-women who hold world records in like every sport? I advocate for science and handicap in any sport trans women have an advantage. Why is this being left out of the discussion on both sides?
I get so angry and infuriated over this topic that I can't even watch or read news on it. I want to scream and cry over the ridiculousness over this. Bring a biological female isn't just about hormone levels, otherwise women past menopause wouldn't be women anymore. Thank you for being that voice for women, and for trans, Blair. It's trans voices (and scientists) that have to speak up for us because otherwise you'll be shunned and dubbed a bigot.
@@JessLayton was not the whole women's movement to be competitive against men? So what are thoughts on women in sports like wrestling and football? A men's sport but invaded by women and girls. Should they too stop what they are doing? Would this be fair?
Blaire only speaks for herself as a trans person. This trans person has her own voice. Blaire has done nothing to allow you all to openly argue trans people should be discriminated against in certain things. That it is okay to discriminate against a type of people, as long as you have one of their owns validation in doing so. Yet we wish people to think the U.S is this progressive accepting nation. You all single handedly invalidate your own arguments the more you try to speak.
As a trans person myself, I think trans people need to accept that transitioning means forfeiting their athletic careers. I cannot understand how people allowed this to happen, there is a disproportionate amount of trans youth at risk of homelessness and death by suicide, and yet there are people who are more worried about their participation in professional sports? Shame on Lia
I don’t think trans athletes should have to forfeit competing in sports. They should compete with other trans athletes or their biological sex if there aren’t enough trans athletes to make a club. Athletics are important to some people. They find a productive way to use their energy, solve problems, build fraternity/sorority, and compete. It keeps kids out of trouble.
Just saw this channel, and props to you. I’m fully supportive of trans people as long as thing stay fair and there are boundaries. Also I actually couldn’t tell you were trans at first, so you pulled it off very well.
Many of us are, it’s mostly the obnoxious teenagers on tiktok who make us look bad. Those of us who are real homosexuals/bisexuals/gender dysphoric people just want to be accepted as normal like everybody else. We don’t want special rights or attention
@@endeavor1664 i agree with this more than anything, i believe there are real people who want to get on as fast as they possibly can and go one with their life in society under their new identity and then there are those who are mentally ill fetishizing and autogynephiling their way to tiktok relevancy..
Lia has every right to live her life the way she wishes to, but it’s not fair for her to compete alongside the biologically female athletes. It’s just common sense. I hope we can get to a point where people are comfortable realising and saying this without being completely lambasted for it.
Yeah it sucks that it feels like most of the vocal opponents of this also happen to refuse to acknowledge her gender which makes it look like only transphobes are opposed to this, but like, there's definitely legitimate reasons why this is not fair...
He walks around naked in front of his female teammates sometimes with his penis erect. He sexually harasses his female teammates and gets away with it because he calls himself a woman. So you are all good with that?
I was a competitive swimmer in my younger days. I would have been so sad if I lost an event to a person who had been competing as a male until just a year prior. I support trans rights but I also realize biology is real.
@@dougfisher2060 Bro, the statement "I support trans rights." is very general and vague. It is not inherently negative. For you to insist she is struggling with "internal masogny" is both ignorant and disrespectful. If you are trying to make a valid point then use valid statements. 👌
You're so smart and eloquent, that I, a not trans person from far-away Bulgaria watch you regularly just because it's nice someone to make sense like that. Thank you for being so cool and brave and awesome, and doing all of this
I started on hrt March of 1999 at 44. I transitioned in July 2000. I have been on hormones ever since. I still had most of my biological strength until about 5 years ago when non-ralated health problems caused the loss of strength.
Right, and muscle mass isn't the only advantage, hip structure makes a huge difference in sports, and males have twice the lung capacity. There are some things that can't be reversed after the fact.
As a female competitive swimmer, I find the idea of competing against a trans female swimmer….ridiculous. There is no fair competition between males and females
I played NCAA tennis at a major university. I can tell you that we'd sometimes play high school boys at the tennis camps, & they were already better. The Williams sisters & Navratilova have explained why we cant compete against males in tennis, & I'm sure swimming is similar. A male has a larger skeletal structure, armspan & reach, straight arms (females evolved a wide carrying arch be able to hold a baby using our forearms), straight hips, greater lung capacity & V02 max, higher muscle/ lean tissue percentage, no menstruation, etc.
@@scarletsletter4466 exactly!!! I mean that’s why women/girls and men/boys are separated in sports to begin with!! Bc of the biological difference, so why is everyone acting like those differences vanish as soon as someone is trans. That’s just ridiculous and invading women’s sports.
@@BananeKiwi199 IIRC, women's sports are separated from men's. Men's sports are often open to women, but they've been devoid of women for so long, you have to look at the rulebooks and *discover* that a lot of the guys' sports are actually co-ed. Basic search shows the NFL and NBA in the U.S. have no rules against women playing on the male teams. Hypothetically, both the NBA and WNBA could be filled with women, if there were enough women that outperformed every man.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for being normal/non extremist! I have constantly been trying to tell people that this Lia Thomas situation is not fair. Inclusion and acceptance does not mean replacement. Lia is replacing biological females in swimming. 🤦🏾♀️
Lia Thomas is being incredibly selfish that is my take, I am old and one of the things that I have learned in life is that you can't always get what you want, acceptance of that fact is healthy. Thomas can do a lot in her life that does not involve taking advantage of the superior musculature that cisgirls don't have etc Thomas is not competing on a level playing field period, and sadly refuses to admit it.
What you said is true. Would you please not use the word, "cis"? It's a manipulative term that was created by the trans demands extremists & gender identity ideologues. They will say it just means, "Not trans." But what that does is to take biological women & make us a subset of our own sex class!! Now we are no longer women. We are being defined in relation to men who identify as women. I will NOT be made a subset of my own sex!! I am a woman. Don't call me cis.
Exactly! I've heard ppl saying no one would change genders just to compete in sports, but with Lia I'm not so sure. Many ppl spend their entire lives working towards a sport, it is their identity--there is a reason that you have to keep your grades up in school to participate in extracurriculars...
When I was in physical education in school a lot of the guys complained about how the girls needed lower scores (running and strength exercises) to get an A. Carry around tits and hips and have higher body fat count and a different set of hormones and do a comparison... Men are just built different and set up for greater achievement in certain areas of sport. There's a reason there's a difference between gymnastics for men and females as well. It's not discrimination, it's just nature.
@@JoeMama-rv9wl What a silly response. The way and amount of fat a man and woman need are dramatically different. Woman need roughly 10% more fat then men, and once you start dipping below a certain level (which again is roughly 10% lower for men) there are severe negative health effects. A man at 15% body fat for example is in the healthy range and can easily still loose several percentage points more of it, a woman at 15% body fat is getting to the point where it will likely have negative health effects on her and from a health perspective is likely better to increase her body fat percentage. But again, I doubt you know anything about any of this. Nor do I think you care as your likely a troll or so ideologically driven what reality is will simply not matter to you.
@@JoeMama-rv9wl I was never fat when I was younger. Even after I had my daughter I was told I couldn't give blood because I wasn't heavy enough (apparently I had to be seven and a half stone, and I was well short of that). My bottom half was a size 8 but my bra size was an F cup. Do you honestly think that wasn't any kind of drawback when it came to sports, and do you think I could have 'dieted' away my breasts?
a lot of research was done and concluded that the rules weren't sound. the mass loss is something like 5% loss, which compared to male and woman, means that the MTF maintains the advantage, even after losing that 5% Also on the female athlete thing, them not speaking up...they cant. they've basically been told to been quiet on the situation, they're being silenced.
Even if you could even out hormones, bone and muscle density, height, and arm length, you can’t change the pelvis anatomy. The male pelvis is structured to optimize bipedal movement and the female pelvis is structured to optimize childbirth. It’s why men and women walk differently. It’s a major male advantage rarely discussed.
Men's hearts and lungs and skeletons are bigger. That's not dictated by hormones, it's created by chromosomes and DNA which instructs the sex and therefore the body build. Women aren't just little men.
@@Lochness19 It affects the articulation of the legs into the hip joint sockets. That alone affects any movements of the legs, including bipedal movement AND swimming. As someone whose hips pop in and out of place all the time, let me tell ya... it even affects how you sit! The shape of your hips and articulation of the joints of the hips into the spine and legs into the hips affects just about everything other than isolated neck, arm, or shoulder movements.
I'm a female sprinter. My fastest time for the 100 meter dash is 16.86 seconds. The AVERAGE male time for the 100 meter dash is around 13 seconds. The fastest male in my school runs 11.77 seconds. The fastest female runs 13.92. It's no competition, men are just better athletes due to their biological advantage. It isnt fair to female athletes if they were to compete in the same category.
After this story I just feel like I’ve given up hope. As a woman I’m terrified of the future. Women are no longer given equal opportunities to succeed , and we are increasingly referred to in such condescending ways. “Bleeders” is the most recent one I’ve heard. I’m just gonna drop out of society and be a stay at home mom and try to protect my family from this crap. It’s not worth trying to be part of this insane society.
girl nobody is even coming for you. Do you really think trans women are gonna come and cut you up? or take away opportunities from you? Pull up an article where a cis woman was denied a job, housing, competition, an event or literally anywhere. Lol. Calling your comment a complete overreaction is an understatement.
It's amazing how a Trans-Woman is allowed to compete against biological women, but a Trans-Man is ALSO allowed to compete against biological women. Where is the logic here? If there's no biological advantage between men and women, why do Trans-Men not compete against biological men? Could it have something to do with the fact that Lia was ranked around 460th in the Men's Division, and is a top competitor in the Women's Division?
This! How is that trans-men can't compete against other biological men? Why is it that trans-men are LITERALLY being told that they shouldn't compete against biological men, because the competition would simply be too hard for them? Why is it that most trans-men aren't winning competitions left and right like trans-women are? Why is that? (We all know why lol)
That’s not accurate. Thomas was quite good in the men’s division, but when she was 460th, she had already started HRT. Also, this is swimming, and the advantages trans women have against other women in that sport are minimal when on HRT
Yes, that comparison was made in the video that everyone watched because it's clearly a factor. Well done for being able to watch something and repeat what you saw as if you thought it yourself from your own brain meat.
"Then a 200 pound man came in and started wrestling kids..." This is literally the plot of an iCarly episode. Dude was so desperate to win, he literally competed in a boy's wrestling league, only to immediately lose to a women and revert back into a sad cry baby.
When a 10 year old boy claims he is trapped in the body of a 200 lb man, who has the right not to respect him for who he truly is? How is this any different than a man trapped in a woman's body?
I really feel sorry for every sane trans person that might get mocked or even assaulted because these loons are pulling other peoples nerve strings to much now. I am really conservative in many aspects of life but I am not a monster and I let other people be as long as they dont ask me to deny reality. I really dont wanna dwindle down a path, where I project my frustration about this bs on people who dont deserve it. I dont know if there is anything you folks can do against the ones among you, that are to far gone. I know they gaslight even their own. Stay safe and God bless.
@@dylanhamilton1441 We do care and we love to hear from some sane trans people, who get bullied and gaslit by their own now (or sometimes just by dumb proxy fighters), for speaking up against this twisted mess. Insane woketivists (like you probably) are coming for biological women and just people who dont wanna deny reality in general. Your reality-phobia is the real issue. Biological sex is real, cant be changed and it matters in many ways and if you ignore that, cause you only care about yourself and your needs, then you are the problem. Blair is trans...seems like "we" dont have an issue with her (yeah I dont even care using HER) cause she is still grounded in reality and knows, because of her biology that wont just go away, that she should never fight a biological woman and made a whole video about it even. Know your limits and respect other peoples rights too maybe?
I had a trans girl and a trans boy on my track team- I ran with both before and after they transitioned. The trans man ran with the men and did great, he was already a fantastic athlete and even made it to state. The trans girl ran with him- she understood that biologically, she was different than other cis girls, and was alright running with the boys because she knew there would be an unfair advantage she had over her gender. There was no controversy, no drama, and she did pretty well running against the boys too. I don’t understand why this is bad, if worse comes to worse why not just have trans girls compete in their own league, like how the paralympics function?
guess cause there aren't that many trans people so there wouldn't be enough in one group for the competition. Putting trans men and women together wouldn't work either, cause here trans men would be at a disadvantage.
That a trans woman such as Blair White can be such a STAUNCH defender of women really gives me hope in the human race. You are a trooper Blair never lay down.
This is what people should think of when they say ''trans women are real women''. Blaire clearly thinks like a woman and from a woman's point of view. She understands women's issues, like why we might not feel safe in certain situations, and why this is unfair to women in sports. I and so many other people can fully accept trans women as women, without pretending they're not biologically male (you know, the thing that makes someone trans in the first place) and that there are biological differences between men and women.
I think all of these trans gender women were just men who got tired of getting kicked in the balls. Think about it, women often say things like, "I think I'm ready to have another child, it's been two years since I last gave birth", but when was the last time you heard a man say, "I think I'm ready to get kicked in the balls again, it's been two years since I last got kicked in the groin"? But you know, you've got to respect any man that's willing to cut off his balls to compete as a woman, as it takes real balls to do something like that.
How can Blair be a 'defender of women' while he poses as a woman on youtube, and diverts attention away from REAL female conservative channels? There is no difference between Blair and Lia Thomas.
I am a lesbian I look like a man but I am not I have a very hard time using woman bathroom but I live my life by being 100 percent comfortable in my own skin and do not go out of my way to make people uncomfortable so I agree with you we need way more mutual respect. People usually do not go out of their way to be rude judge the situation show compassion and respect and normally you get it back good episode.
This is sad for me because I feel like the people that are justifying it care more about trans women than cis women. Like they literally don’t care that they are hurting cis women. I don’t understand why sport platforms can’t just have a different category for transgender athletes.
@@tigs5354 I started hearing the term "cisgendered" in our local LGBTQ media about 4-5 years ago. I've not looked up the origins - but it sounds like a shorthand to me - to say cis woman = "born female, identifies as female" or cis man = "born male, identifies as male". Whereas if someone says "I'm a gender fluid woman" or "I'm a non-binary man" - their sex at birth is woman and man, but the person does not 100% identify as woman or man. I do believe these shades of grey in the human spectrum of gender identity have always existed. To visibly live these differences openly is accepted in some cultures eg India. But many cultures, historically and today, use social pressures and influence to force conformity to the gender that matches your sex at birth. The lifestyle of performer and singer David Bowie is frequently dissected for these very reasons. To close: as a Woman who feels quite at home amongst all the variety of naturally occurring Women, do I like the term "cis woman" .... No. However, if the term helps our queer family and friends to comfortably take their place in society, then I guess I can live with it ☺
@@comealongcomealong4480 i appreciate your opinion and you are entitled to it, but myself, i will not be called a cis woman, i will not be a sub-set in my own category. i am a woman, an original, no pre-fix needed
I'm in my 40s so I don't play a lot of sports anymore, but this is infuriating. In my prime, I could win against some men, but not most of them. This is 100% unfair to women. It is a slap in the face to work so hard and get beaten by someone who clearly has a BIOLOGICAL advantage. I still can't believe the NCAA allowed this. If a man wants to transition to a woman, or vice versa, I'm totally good with that. People should be allowed to be who they want to be. But to think that a year of hormone suppression makes you eligible to compete against women is BS!!!!!! I'm so sorry to the ladies that didn't even stand a chance. That is not fair at all. Not even a little bit. Keep your heads up. We know who the true winner was, Emma Weyant. Save Women's Sports!!!!

She's not a man. Her times and positions are equivalent now compared to what they were in the men's category. She won a category and lost others, surely if she's got some massive advantage she would win all the time?
@@dylanhamilton1441 I disagree. Her times are not far from when she was competitive on the men's team. What if she only swam fast enough to win as Caitlyn Jenner has suggested? 🤔🤔🤔
Agreed. But it's really the fault of feminists who have been squawking about equality for decades. This is a very silly slogan to use without being specific. Equal voting rights = makes sense. Equality = makes no sense. Because these are two different things that can not be made equal through political nonsense. Equal means the same as. By saying that women are equal to men, what you're really saying is that you among other things want coed swimming contests. We're the same after all, or so I've been told repeatedly, so why would coed swimming contests possibly be a problem for anybody? This is why words matter. It's also why the voting age needs to be increased to about....48. Young people are stupid.
This is gross. I can’t believe this is really happening. The people who are allowing this to happen need to be fired and fined. This madness has to stop
It's worldwide. All cooperate governments are pushing this. Here in Australia, a politician ripped into our parliament because he was contacted by a parent that daughter is in 3rd grade and came home with a questionnaire for her father on his errections and ejaculation.
"No one wants to be an NPC" Girl PREACH! What's wrong with being different? NOTHING! It's about fairness. Thanks for having a logical point of view and not being afraid to call out this nonsense. Love you Blaire!
I really appreciate the point you made about how there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that women and trans women are not the same. At the end of the day, trans women are guests in female spaces. We definitely share a lot of experiences with each other, but trans women will never know what it's like to be a woman from birth and to have female biology. To the trans women that are respectful of female-only spaces, we see you and we appreciate you so much. Y'all are beautiful souls! Great stuff as always Blaire, I always appreciate your perspective.
I agree with the sentiment, but I don't like the word "guest" as that implies someone who doesn't really belong. Fully transitioned trans women aren't only there for a short stay, they moved in to female spaces and live here now. And that's okay, as long as they are decent and respectful human beings, they are welcome! But that doesn't change the point where you are completely right: Someone who "moved in" at few decades later will never understand what it was like growing up as female, going through female puberty etc.
@@Mercyfalls I can respect that view. I mean it moreso in the sense that trans women will never have the complete female experience and can never speak from experience on some women's issues, such as reproductive health and rights. That being said, I've got nothing but love and respect for trans women who have made their transition and are here to stay! We gotta stick together and support each other
My 15yo son is already able to beat me at literally everything. I am 5'8" and he is three to four inches taller than me. That literally happened this year alone.
hehe my 18YO son could out swim me when he was probably 13. My wife had University of Minnesota records for swimming and he passed her at around 15. He swam at the last olympic trials and if he transitioned he would easily set the womens NCAA record in the 100 backstroke and the 50 freestyle. The 100 back record is 49.18 and my son swam a state record of 46.41. The 50 free record is 20.90 and he swam a state record of 19.57. Block his hormones all you want, he will still beat every girl AND Lea in any of those events (he will be better than 400th as a male collegiate swimmer). I'm 6'1" my wife is 5'9.5" and my son is 6'9" (something in the water or a tall milk man ).
My 7 1/2 year old brother can run damn near as fast as me and I'm by no means slow! Lol he's just really strong and fast. This also happened within the last year, he likes to race me in the yard lol and he has grown so much this year and can literally almost run as fast as me now! I'm 28!
As a moderate left, I think that if only there are more outspoken trans like you, people like us who think this way wouldn’t be label as transphobic. Keep speaking up for us!
as an actual trans woman, i think that trans women, if they have even the slightest sliver of any sort of respect for the women around them, should politely stay out of (cis) womens semi-pro and professional sports, specifically because of their male traits. Any (trans women) who do not, imo, can be argued to be purely politicking trenders.
I mean I totally understand wanting to play sports in general and if you truly are transgender I get wanting to play with your gender....🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ I totally get all that... I just don't get how we're not addressing the obvious differences in abilities. There has to be some way we can work around this. The Lia Thomas case is a great example of if she truly believes she's a woman she should be allowed to swim with women. But she also clearly has a great advantage over most people that were born a woman. And that needs to be addressed as well.... Maybe she can swim but not compete. 🤷🏻♀️💯🤷🏻♀️
This got nothing to do with testosterone level ...This is a full grown male already. His physique stays the same no matter how low is his testosterone.
although I understand your point, it's better for you to say "she", you wouldn't look like such and asshole. and yes, but what about trans guys? if testosterone doesn't affect the physique, so trans men would have a disadvantage. also, so because you are saying that because she transitioned later in life, would that mean that a trans women who didn't went thru puberty can compete with other bio women?
Blaire, thank you so much for speaking up on this. Your voice on this matter is so important. People like Lia Thomas are totally undoing all the work the trans community have accomplished, by disrespecting the gender they wish to be recognized as.
@@andreavp463 so sad. Like I want to be an ally but s*** it's hard to do that when some of them pull this kinda ish. It's a disgrace. You can't replace me, but I can support you and you can support me, like what is so hard to understand? So short sighted.
Blaire, I’m a medical laboratory scientist which means that I get to see every single person’s lab results that I run. I used to work for 4 endocrinologists that assist men who have low testosterone. These men had testosterone levels matching Thomas and sometimes even lower. They were still men. They still look like men, behaved like men, and had the body of men. There was no indication that they were female or women in any way shape or form. Many of them pursued athletic activities in their leisure, and it did not affect them to the point that they no longer had a male advantage. The most it does is really reduce their ability to get b*ners. It is very sad that people think you can change sex now. I have literally seen kids on Tiktok saying that they believe you can change your sex.
You as a scientist should acknowledge that being trans isn't about changing sex. When we say that it's a social construct, we don't make it a sex thing, we make it so that we align with how society perceives men or women.
@@andreil1313 Yes the notion of changing sex is harmful even against the support of trans people. But masking the trans movement as this narrative entirely is harmful too.
I'm a guy that fits the profile of very low T. My body was converting much of it to estrogen. What i experienced was some weight gain, man boobs, and being emotional. That was the extent of the change. after starting treatment most of that changed. I still am required to take a pill that retards the amount of T converted to keep me in balance. I maintained the same advantage for the most part. I was still a man, still retained the behavior of a male. So i agree with you. After treatment i lost the man boobs and weight.
You can't be a flight attendant if you have dwarfism, sorry. It's not personal, but there are certain physical requirements for the job, for good reason. You can do another job in the industry - like be a travel agent - but you can't do the job that carries physical requirements you don't have. Same with sport. Transwomen can still carry out their sport - no one is stopping Lia from going to the pool. If all biological women need to do to beat transwomen is be better at the sport, Lia could become a coach to show them how it's done. But to compete, given Lia does not have the body of a woman, is not fair at all. Our physicality limits us in many ways in life. That IS life - you are born into a body without a say in the matter. Why someone's gender identity negates these physical limitations above all else doesn't make any sense though - people who cannot handle this simple reality are severely immature and evidently need help to adjust.
So true 👍. Unfortunately the current political agenda in America is to convince as many idiots as possible that thousands of years of scientific and social realities are not actually realities. Suddenly we now know that biology is subjective. Reality (aka truth) is subjective. This is complete insanity.
I'm 5foot 2 and wasn't allowed to be an air hostess. Lol. They need a transgender league. So those who've transitioned through to those who just identify can compete against their physical equivalents
@@sineadcampbell5147 but even having a transgender league would be problematic if a woman that started transition at 15 competed with one that started it at 25, for example. It's too complex to solve it in such a simple way. (Although I do agree that Lia Thomas shouldn't be competing in the woman's league for obvious reasons)
As women we've been fighting to have our own sports in this country for centuries. 💯 And it's simply not fair for that to be taken from us because someone has a serious advantage because they were born a different gender at birth. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being transgender, but you have to know when you have a serious advantage against others. That's like putting me in a room with a bunch of people that don't speak English, of course I'm going to win the English competition.... And of course it isn't fair cuz I'm the only one that was raised to speak English 💯🤦🏻♀️
Amen women have been put down !

Why is it that when someone comes out as trans then the whole world has to say YES to everything they want. Sometimes people need to be told NO.
That's the crux of it all, isn't it?
Because this is a religion. Trans people become dieties… above us mere cis mortals. Just like Buddist monks, cult leaders, Catholic priests, and medicine man. They become revered, set-apart, special, more spiritual than everyone else. It is a religion.
Saying "no" to them is bigotry and an assault on human rights or something.

I don't know if anyone remembers Caster Simenya. She was actually BORN a girl, but had undeveloped male organs as well, that she was never aware of. She has more testosterone than most females, but not as much as males, even athletically dismal ones. But the Athletics boards, including the Olympics athletics board, ruled that she would have to take testosterone blockers in order to compete with other females. A WOMAN who naturally produced extra testosterone could not compete with other women. Here they are completely disregarding that this swimmer has the build of a man, WAS a man, and has an actual unfair advantage.
wow that’s crazy
I think you will find that she had no ovaries or uterus, but did have testies and micro penis. All this was not her fault, but it did give her a very unfair advantage. Anyone looking at her instinctively saw a male, as this was predominant.
I think it's important to separate women/men from female/male/intersex.
Semenya was clearly a woman and female, but she wasn't fully. , intersex conditions are medical conditions where you don't properly develop into a male or female body.
The athletics board fully had a right to have her medically transition into being more female. I don't see anything wrong with this, and for many intersex people, it's medically necessary to take hormones or have operations when they're ready.
Trans people are pushing themselves into an "intersex" state and some are like they're fully the opposite sex, like Lia Thomas. She's more male than female.
That's crazy!
Caster has xy chromosomes. women have xx chromosomes.
It’s not about their gender identities. Their gender identities are not competing against other gender identities. It’s the body that competes and the advantages bestowed on someone who went through male puberty are not fair if they want to compete in women’s sports.
Exactly! We separate sports by sex and weight for a reason. If trans-woman want to compete in sports (as they should) then they should compete against OTHER trans-women. That's not that hard.
👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏👏🏼👏🏻
That's exactly right
Perfectly stated! The fact that it’s their physical body that competes is why it’s so wrong.
@@toomessy better option because there's not enough trans people is to make mens sports cross-sex for non-team sports and then for team sports make cross-sex a 3rd category for competitive

It’s as if these people think we’ll fall for it. They’ll castigate us and berate us for refusing to believe things that aren’t true.
The debate is not about trans rights. It's leftists against sane people.
There is a subset of people in these "rights groups" who are simply leftists, they do not care about trans rights, they just want to destroy what they call heteronormative society. It's not about asking for acceptation of difference, it is about erasing difference by destroying the norm. Every norm, basis and tradition of western society they want to destroy : family, marriage, tradition, religion, sex, women and men.
They are termites and want to destroy our society.
I am French, we have this mentally ill leftists too, and they promote islam which is very patriarchal and traditionnal. These leftists have no problem defending tradition as long as it is not western. They hate themselves and they hate the west.
They just hate western tradition and want to destroy it.

I swam for 8 years, including my high school team. The time differences between men and women is crazy. It can be as much as a minute for some of the longer races. It's incredibly unfair and overshadows incredible athletes.
The sex differences really are dramatic. Men just dominate in sports
Sounds like women's sports is just the participation trophy league
Of sports, swimming is one men have a particular biological advantage in when compared to women. From lung capacity to upper body strength to the actual alignment of bones. Its nothing against trans women, its just how it is.
Why are women's sports even a thing lmao a whole joke in itself
I was doing a pool workout recently. A really tall fit man came to the pool that session and shared the lane with me. The difference between our swimming was like a trout ( me!) and an orca 🤣
As a female athlete this kind of thing upsets me to no end, thank you for speaking up. Also the reason most female athletes don't speak up is in fear of losing sponsorships, etc
Class divisions in sport, such as age, weight, and sex classes have never had anything to do with self-identification. You don't just get to decide which class you qualify for; they're based on objectively measurable traits that directly relate to performance level.
Well said
Please stop giving me mean comments. My mother reads the comments I get and she cries a lot because of it. Please be nice, dear l
They don't have weight divisions in swimming, maybe going forward in sports, there should be weight and height categories breaking down the male and female divisions further?
Why not have different divisions for people that come from wealthy families that are able to financially support them and cover expenses so that the competitor can spend all of their time training and maintaining a perfect diet vs. Someone that doesn't come from money that has to maintain another job, buy cheaper food, cook themselves, clean their own houses, pay for their own medical care, etc.? Economic class plays a massive role in just about every facet of life including sports too. Talent is important, but two people equally talented, one with financial support one without, will have VERY different challenges in something like sports.
@@Wraiven22 Good luck with that.
Congrats to the dude who came in 462 in the men’s division and first in the women’s. Good job beating people smaller and not as strong as you.
I find it kind of sad that a male who ranked 462 in men's swimming is still stronger than the second place female contestant. I mean if the TG swimmer was like in the top 20 in men's and #1 women's it would be one thing but #462?
I have more respect for an athlete competing fairly and placing 462, then one who plays with an unfair advantage and ranks number 1. At 462, you’re practically living in obscurity, but at number 1, you’re a pathetic joke and a loser

@@brianlindee4397 it is
@@brianlindee4397 they were just remarking how bad he was when competing with men and how she now magically beats all women
I'm a distance runner. Was good enough to qualify for States back in high school, but not one of the top performers. I'll never forget when my completely non-athletic ex-boyfriend joined track, beat my one-mile time after about three months, and then mocked and belittled me for it. He was shorter than me, not a 'Lia Thomas' type at all, yet he still did in a few months what I couldn't do in a few years. People don't seem to understand the magnitude of the biological difference.
Men just don't get it. A male personal trainer I met in the gym clearly didn't realise females are different based on how he reacted to my performance as a female. My bf doesn't get it either. My bf's athletic abilities without him doing any sports far outpace mine (I'm also sedentary). He thinks when I need to. catch my breath on a climb, I just need to push through. Dude, I'm literally not getting enough air to sustain this level of activity. Meanwhile, he doesn't even break a sweat. Women aren't just 'short men'.
Perfect example!! And same: I have always been active in a variety of sports and forms of exercise. My husband stopped being active after college. Fourteen years after he graduated college he joined me in Crossfit which I had been doing for a year. Day one he out ran me, out lifted me and pull ups were practically effortless for him.
I had the same experience with my boyfriend. We were the same height, same size shoe, but when we got together I weighed more than him and was working a very physical job while he was working retail. He could absolutely demolish me in any physical competition. Thankfully while being encouraging, not belittling. It also helps that he fully understands there are clear and severe differences between male and female physiology.
What a pathetic specimen...I hope you are ok.
exactly! thet seem to be blinded by the fact that male is not as the same as a women does in sports..
When I was 12 I was in a swim competition with both genders (I’m female) & only the first 15 got to move on, I got 16th place & everyone ahead of me was male. I can’t imagine how much that would hurt in a professional environment because I stopped competing after that.
@insertname9581
That's worthy of an interview in this whole situation. I'm so sorry that possibility was taken from you. That's life effecting!! I hope you can and would tell your story to more audiences.
Yup you should tell your story to more people
It really pisses me off when trans activists tell female competitors to "get better" or "you're just not good", trying to excuse this ridiculous behavior. Women in sports are already training their best and pushing themselves so hard to compete against the best. Physiologically, there's a limit to how much one can improve themselves. To tell women to "just get good" is a slap in the face. Why should women have to accommodate for the 0.06% in the first place, while we take the hit? How does it make sense? Activists don't even care about how women feel, as long as the trans peoples feelings aren't hurt lol. And I have no problems with trans individuals. May they live their lives peacefully and however they wish, but I am not okay with things that are personally affecting women.
Remember when that was considered sexist to say?
Excuse me? they telling women to get better? Shame,
Women's sports are now discredited.
It’s basically a man telling a woman to try harder… how misogynistic!
More women are not speaking out because they are afraid of being unfriended, canceled, disowned. Mostly by other women!! It's crazy!! Women athletes especially risk their entire careers if they speak up. I've had full on arguments with people that can look at the picture of Lea Thomas and the other swimmers and say that they are the same and its a fair competition. We are no longer living in the same reality as these people LOL. I support someones decision to transition and live their best life as a woman or a man. But some things just can't be denied, and overlooked like this women's sports thing.
So true! There was literally a woman I'm facebook friends with post "unfriend me if you're transphobic". The only reason she probably didn't block me was because I'm a trans woman and disagree with Lia competing. I can only imagine the crap women would have gotten from her if they spoke out. My own cousins are female athletes and I just know they didn't speak out because of the woke cult.
It's like a religious cult smh
Agreed. I’ve always considered myself passionate about the underdog. I hate when people are bullied or made to feel they can’t live their life but their seems to be so room for discourse in this situation. I cried yesterday when I realised the word woman has been taken from women. Biological females are responsible for all human life being birthed. That’s the difference between a trans woman and a biological woman. It’s not bigoted to say that. You can love and care about trans people and also point out they a trans woman is exactly that.

Because we are physically different from men. We cant hit as far so to make it fair, we are allowed to hit from shorter distances. We're not better or worse. It's not a bad thing. It's just a fact of life. I don't hate trans people. I don't hate men. I just want to make sure that women in sports get to play on a fair level.

Whenever I read about this it makes me somewhat upset. I play basketball and hockey and if a trans woman played against me it wouldn’t be fair.

I was a swimmer until age of 20 and when I was 11 us girls had to swim several seconds(!) faster than the boys to qualify for regionals, nationals etc. Girls were faster than boys, it's the puberty that changes it all. When puberty started, the boys became faster.
Same. I remember freshman year we did boys vs girls relay, our fastest vs their fastest.................................................................,....................................... And we beat them by about that much lol
Up until puberty, boys and girls are roughly the same, and girls can even beat boys at certain strokes. I swam for a YMCA and recently am coaching, and we had a 9-10 age group girl beat even the boys' heats in 50 and 100 breaststroke at a championship meet.

They should not be in the same category as trans women (straight or gay or bi I don’t care), or drag queens. They’re a whole other category.
As a bio fem swimmer, there is a huge difference in time comparisons between males and females. We probably have one of the biggest time gaps in sports, so it's scummy for this to slide. A teenage boy has the ability to drop 10 seconds in a year for his events with a consistent training schedule, the same is not said for a female, maybe 5-6 depending on the event. It's just biology that boys are stronger than girls, which sucks for me. But there's nothing you can really do about it.
@T K So this is what it's like to get no bitches 😟
You can refuse to compete against these clowns. How many people do you think will attend an event to watch them swim alone?
Male and females both have their own inherent traits.
its all relative, nothing sucks about it unless you want to deliberately have a negative outlook on life
I like how they don't want biologic women with testosterone issues to compete, but they are ok with bio male who has recently transitioned to compete against bio women. Great.
"Why does acknowledging I'm different from a biological woman bad?" Yes. Thank you Queen.
Because your Not nor will you ever be a woman! Truth and Fact's. You can identify or acknowledge your self as a unicorn but sweetie it's not true and never will be!
There's a hidden inferiority complex in them. All they say "Proud to be trans" but can't even accept that their difference lol
Does this guy have gills too?. He'll be trans fisherman on oestrogen.
becuase biological..... that don't mean what you think it does. i think they ment cis. nothing wrong with it. but when we make this complaint can we also take the people that are over 6 foot in basketball? that's an unfair advantage.
I'm a trans ally but I NEVER thought trans people thought they were the same as cis people!!... Like biologically speaking.
As an NCAA athlete, I know how strict they can be on stuff. Some of the rules we have to follow are ridiculous, but we HAVE to follow them or we could lose eligibility. It's all in the name of fairness, which is understandable. HOWEVER, when they go and let stuff like this, it undermines everything they say about fairness. Lia should be allowed to transition in whatever way, but LIA should be the one to face the consequences of that transition in sports, not every female athlete. if Lia wants to go and take hormones and transition in a way that may be detrimental to athletic performance, that shouldn't be put on any woman who's also trying to compete.
I hate this attitude that they should have to experience zero sacrifices and have zero limitations. It's unfortunate to be born in the wrong body and not get to experience life as a the woman you wished to be from day 1. I'm AFAB and have gender dysphoria myself (I've decided not to transition but if given the choice I would restart my life as a biological male if I could). But we all have to examine our options in life based on the lot we were given. We can't expect to have it all.
What gets me is that most althete's careers as profesional athletes are short lived to begin with only lasting through their college years. If competing was that important to you, you can put off your hormone replacement therapy for a few years. But why wait when you can instantly jump from 497th place to number 1 in a year?
Could you give an example about the ridiculous rules?
@@Vannabee13 if reincarnation exists, you're booked as amab next life. :-)
Btw, Posie Parker also, but in her case as a punishment....
I was an NCAA athlete, and some of our rules for our sport was you can’t cuss (even if you’re saying lets fucking go / not cussing out another team), there are uniform standards when it comes to how big a logo should be on each piece of clothing / gear, words, etc, just look up any sport online followed by ncaa rules & just take a look at the thick handbooks
I think allowing exemptions for trans people around strict rules is what makes people angry. For example, everyone was saying Trump banned trans people from the military. And I jumped on this bandwagon of how messed up it was. Then my boyfriend at the time, who was in the military, explained to me he didn’t ban trans people. Just no one can be in the military if you need to be on medication since the military doesn’t know if they can get you meds in a war zone. They made an exemption for trans people. Which is dumb because withdrawal from testosterone and estrogen can lead to brain fog, difficultly sleeping, mood swings, all things that can be deadly in a war zone. So trump said trans people have to follow this rule as well.
It makes me sad because most trans people understand why these rules are in place and don’t want exemptions. But the loud minority ruins it for the rest of trans people.
Just because someone takes hormones, does not mean they can claim that gender. I was given ridiculous doses of danazol ( synthetic testosterone) to treat endometriosis and I was and am still a woman.
This is ridiculous that a man can take female hormones and claim to be a woman.
I don't care what people do in their private lives, but to compete against women is just insane.
Thank you, Blaire, for speaking on this crime.
10:32 "God forbid Lia's feelings get hurt, to hell with all the women." Wow you nailed it there! 👏 I love hearing you speak facts about all this. So refreshing.
Does lia even have a performance advantage given they did pretty much the same in terms of ranking with the men. I mean second qualifying rather than 1st qualifying isn’t really that much and is probably lower than if she were born a cis woman given the way sports science and funding lags behind for woman’s sports.

Yeh they hate jk Rowling but they are still putting money in her pockets by buying all the books, buying the films and buying anything Harry Potter.
Exactly!
The thing is you don’t see female athletes defending lia. It’s always the people who have never and will never compete in woman’s sport and have never experienced what it would be like to compete, as a woman, against a man.
"Why is being different from women a bad thing?" EXACTLY ! thank you for being outspoken
I'd imagine that a women being forced to be different from other women is not exactly the benign thing you are making it out to be. Especially since these women have had to fight to even be considered women in the first place.
@@thesmity31 Transwomen ARE different from women. It's not "forced", it simply is. I will never be tall, but that's NOT the same as saying I am "forced" to be short.

@Tom Smith what? Seriously.. they are, in fact different. That doesn't mean bad.
@@thesmity31 But they aren’t being forced. They ARE different. They’re women but different from biological women, and that’s a fact.
I am a MD. Whoever came up with the measurable testosterone level below a certain level for a certain amount of time equates one to now being a female makes no sense. I am a male. If I had a surgery to remove my testicles for any reason such as cancer, trauma, etc., in a short time after, my testosterone level would measure ZERO. That blood level of testosterone below a certain amount would not make me a female, which is the argument the sports governing board is making. My chromosomes are still XY, no matter if my testosterone levels are high, normal, or low. Females are still XX, no matter their estrogen levels high, normal, or low. XY chromosomes are linked to bigger body size, larger muscle mass, larger bone density, more strength, etc. Yes, testosterone levels do accelerate the physical changes, but lack of testosterone after one transitions as an adult does not negate much the years of training with with heavy weights, their frame size does not shrink, their longer muscle bellies do not shorten, etc.
Wrong you chromosome would change to ABC
how about MtoF trans kids who have been able to take puberty blockers and therefor do not build the sort of muscle mass, etc. that young men do? aren't they on a level playing field with ciswomen?
omfug Good point. I think transitioning prior to puberty would negate the male gains made normally as a result of testosterone levels. But transitioning AFTER puberty too me, is a completely unfair advantage.
@@eyeguyeyeguy1 it is an unfair advantage and I wonder why Thomas can't see how he ranked swimming as a male for Penn as opposed to dominating the women's team, I have read that she wants to make the Olympics (she will always have an asterick beside her wins, I guess when you are that motivated that the notion of "cheating" doesn't impress itself on you.) There is a reason that men and women don't compete together in most sports, also notice how Females to Male aren't even an issue on school teams for obvious reasons, although if on testosterone and forced to compete with cisgirls usually the trans male wins (If using testosterone.) It truly is a brave new world.
@@omfug7148 1.) puberty blockers, aka lupron, are incredibly dangerous and essentially sterilize a person 2.) no, a boy put on lupron will still never be female, and will always have a male body with unchangeable physical differences from a female. It will always be unfair to include males in female sports.
As someone who spent most of my life competing in womens swim, I can say that Lea competing is totally unfair. I have swam against men in the sport for practice, and if someone had that height and muscle mass against me I would lose undoubtably. It wouldn’t even be a competition, I would just get my ass handed to me.
Draft a WNBA team of mediocre biological men with long wavy hair and let them demolish every team on the roster in one season. For one season, allow low ranked biological men to dominate tennis. Nod along as biological females lose every LPGA tournament to unranked biological men . Just let it play out to absurdity.
Who cares if lia Thomas is a man. Women wanted equal rights and.m now they have it, good luck beating that guy ladies. The trans man wants to go into the army, like wise we have to let the trans woman swim in a pool. I’m tired of the one way street logic

SIMPLE SOLUTION: Create a trans league. We have paralympics for disabled and there are different classifications among that (blindness, missing limbs, etc). WIN WIN for everyone
I've thought this from the very beginning of this debacle. Thing is, I'm not even sure this is a trans thing. Call me sinical, but I actually think it's an ego issue on the behalf of the person who was once a shockingly bad male swimmer, needing the validation of being a winner, no matter what the cost is to anyone else. There's a total and utter lack of integrity in this, and it's stirring up these feelings of the ego issues. I could be entirely wrong, but that's my gut instincts talking.
Let's be honest though there's not enough Trans people for a Trans league people always forget how small of a population this is and how small the amount of professional level athletes any population is gonna have on top of that. It's a good ass idea though I just don't think for basketball for example there's 12 Trans athletes that could compete on a professional level to have full league with full teams
Or maybe just class people based on size and muscle mass rather than gender at all. Or by lung capacity (like in swimming or running or other activities that require a lot of breath support).
@@scooby25611 that just isn't practical there would be dozens if not hundreds of classes if it was based on that and then you have the issue of how do you even find enough people to fill the new classes? It's just not fair if someone was born really small or really tall that they basically won't be able to compete at most levels cause there's just not gonna be enough people for the outliers to compete against on a local level, the level everyone starts at.

Do any of you people know that Caitlyn Jenner spoke out against Lia Thomas, Jenner appeared on Fox News’ “America Reports” and emphasized her belief that she does not believe transgender athletes should compete in sports of the gender to which they have transitioned.
Even Caitlyn expressed distaste toward Lia. She is opposed as well
The fact that she said “a healthy society would have come to a conclusion for this by now“ spoke VOLUME!
I'm trans and me and my whole circle of (trans)friends agree with you on this. Lets just say that the trans sports memes were going strong the past few weeks on our discord. We usually joke about this stuff and let the crazies do what they want but I feel like it gets too much and we start feeling unconfortable aswell.
You and your trans friends are held accountable for this.
As Blair said, this is hurting the trans community more than it is helping it.
Wake up from the cult, there’s still life on the other side.
The majority of people, me included, are totally accepting of a man choosing to live as a woman or vice versa. It is only where it creates a genuine issue for others that we have a problem, and demolishing womens sport is certainly right in this territory.
@@davidloughlin2238 Now you should be rejecting it.
It's sad the damage that narcissistic people like Lia Thomas have done to the trans community. 😢
Honestly there is no such thing as the trans "community". We're all different people with different interests and opinions. It's honestly become just a new way of saying "you people"
How many times have you seen someone comment on a trans person's post "I would support you but 'your community' says x".
Like wtf? Do I not get to be an individual? Am I responsible for the actions and opinions of people who I don't even know exist?
Everytime I speak out about this other trans women attack me. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even want to identify as trans publicly and just transition in silence. I’m embarrassed to be trans these days
I’m not trans but it makes me sad to hear you say that. I really hope this dog and pony show will sort itself out so you don’t feel embarrassment any longer. You should be able to speak your mind without judgment or being attacked by others. Certainly not from your own community. Stay strong.
looks like a time to stop identifying with a group and just identify as an individual you are. This tribalistic shit is what's drivin this insane agenda anyways. Most of people don't care if you're trans or whatever when you're reasonable decent human being not obsessed with group identity
Honestly i feel that, i completely avoid saying it to people unless i absolutely have to tbh. I used to be able to tell people i was trans with no issue like ever and we'd be cool, but nowadays it's different.

The thing about female athletes defending themselves is that it is really hard to do. You can get your social media accounts deleted and get into real trouble if you say something that can make trans people look bad. Very few female athletes dare to speak about this topic as it can ruin their careers. There are actually a few who have spoken, you can find it on UA-cam, and you can clearly see how scared they are of saying something in the wrong way.
I just posted about this a few minutes ago on this page. I gave 4 reasons why young female athletes don't speak up. The short answer is fear. It's the same thing that keeps people in politics from giving a definition for the word, "woman". It's the same thing that prevents people from defending JK Rowling, Kathleen Stock, or Graham Linehan. These people are heretics to the trans demands ideology & to associate with them means the mob will turn on YOU. It's the same thing that has controlled people throughout the darkest chapters of human history,- from Mao's Cultural Revolution to the Nazis to witch trials to the Inquisition. Fear & intimidation keep people from speaking up.
What's even worse is apearntly he is being cocky and bloating about it and rubbing it in the girls face
What would be very difficult but necessary for them to do is to withdrawal from all leagues and competitions that enforce these new rules and start over again as it was. Building from the ground up. This is not an easy request but if all female athletes stopped completing trans athletes wouldn’t have anyone to complete with. It would appear as if they ruined it for everyone but the point is, they already have.
So history repeats itself: Men oppress women.
@@lisavanderpump7475 yeah. I saw that. He has no concern for those ladies. Very disrespectful i say so.
I did hair for several years. There was a man (this was 20 years ago) that was VERY feminine that I worked with. He couldn't stand me because I was pregnant. We got into an argument one day because I was tired of working with his hustle behavior (every single day) toward me. I told him I wasnt going to hold back my life just to make him feel "better". His voice quickly went from squeaky to deep bass, pumped up his arm muscles, darted toward me while stating "I'm literally going to kill you"! Thankfully there was another man there to hold him back. He could have, and would have, beat me to a bloody pulp. I was very bitter toward transgenders, as a whole, because of my experience. Since I found your videos you have educated me to understand the difference of healthy and unhealthy thought process on this subject! I greatly appreciate and admire you for being true to who you are! And of course how courageous you are for voicing common sense. Thank you!!
Transwomen appropriate womanhood until it becomes convenient to be a man. Womanhood to them is just a shirt to put on and then take off when it's inconvenient.
Am sorry to hear you suffered this behaviour he was definitely unhinged.
That is horrifying! Glad you and your baby are ok. Although now the baby is not a baby anymore..lol
Wow, that had to be intense.
A bad experience with one person is never a good reason to discriminate a whole group. There is diversity in every group.
These women sacrifice so much to get to this moment. Most started swimming at a very young age. They practiced before school, after school and weekends. They traveled to swim meets and competitions all over the country. They gave up so much just to get to this point. They traded time with friends and family, vacations, dating and so much more all for strength, technique, speed, endurance and a chance to be the best. Any free time they did have was usually spent studying. Some even found a way to have a job because their scholarship did not cover everything. As they are on the starting block waiting for the gun to sound they know that nobody worked harder than they did, that nobody wants it more than they do. They know that they can beat any woman God ever made.
It’s so frustrating to be labeled as transphobic for standing my ground on this one. I’m sure Iia is a great girl and I wish her the best in her transition, but this isn’t okay. If you think Lia didn’t have an advantage, you’re on crack.
Honestly though, who CARES if someone calls you transphobic? It means nothing to me because I know who I am & am comfortable with who I am & I don’t need affirmation from virtual strangers to be confident in myself.
That’s why I don’t care if they call me names, it doesn’t bother me one bit, they are the ones getting all worked up about it, not me. Just don’t let others opinion of you get under your skin-YOU define you, they don’t.
Lia is not a « girl ». First because girl imply underage. He is an adult male that isn’t even trying to look like a woman, he flashes his genitals to his teammate, doesn’t care he makes them uncomfortable, sounds like a male.
There is no way ever you wanna to call this dude a « girl ». With blaire you do. With him no way. Full man. No mistake possible. It’s actually deep disrespect for women to call this misogynist a woman. Because how much contempt for women do you need to behave like he does without feeling an ounce of compassion for the one he claims himself to be part of. Blatant misogyny.

Let’s stop pretending and making this shit even more complicated than what it needs to be. That’s a male with every intention to remain a male in appearance along with everything else while taking advantage of female sports - even walking around locker rooms nude around other females who are very likely extremely uncomfortable with it but can’t say anything. Doing the very thing we all said would happen the moment we went down this slippery ass slope of “acceptance”. I’m sorry, but it’s going to take more than costume jewelry and growing out your hair to convince me that I am supposed to see you as being someone even remotely like the rest of us females. There’s zero effort.
People won’t sit and ask themselves why it’s only MtF doing this. Probably because deep down they know that no matter how much people inject into their body, they’ll never be able to match the physical strength a male that already went through puberty has. Basic ass science … something we’ve been preached at for the last two years to trust and refer to, but those same types will conveniently ignore it when it goes against their own social/political views because they’re more scared of being called a transphobe than sticking to the truth.

But you know, you've got to respect any man that's willing to cut off his balls to compete as a woman, as it takes real balls to do something like that.

Women swimmers and divers but yes. I does bother me a little when they say these athletes fear loosing a scholarship. Swim programs get a paltry amount of scholarship money to hand out that amounts to something like three full scholarships. I believe it's more about loosing opportunity and being canceled then most of these women being afraid of loosing a scholarship.
The only way to stop this madness is for all the women to turn their backs and not jump in when the whistle goes off.

If they stood up together all at one time, they would force the league's hand to do the right thing.
A lot of scholarships have behavior clauses, so they might be afraid of loosing a scholarship.
You presented your views on this perfectly. I saw Caitlin Jenner saying it is totally unfair for any transgender male to compete against women. She made the point that even with 0 testosterone she can beat the socks off biological women in her sports any day.

That it is okay to discriminate against a type of people, as long as you have one of their owns validation in doing so. Yet we wish people to think the U.S is this progressive accepting nation. You all single handedly invalidate your own arguments the more you try to speak.
As a trans person myself, I think trans people need to accept that transitioning means forfeiting their athletic careers. I cannot understand how people allowed this to happen, there is a disproportionate amount of trans youth at risk of homelessness and death by suicide, and yet there are people who are more worried about their participation in professional sports? Shame on Lia
I don’t think trans athletes should have to forfeit competing in sports. They should compete with other trans athletes or their biological sex if there aren’t enough trans athletes to make a club.
Athletics are important to some people. They find a productive way to use their energy, solve problems, build fraternity/sorority, and compete. It keeps kids out of trouble.
And you, as a trans person yourself, are also held accountable for this.

As a female competitive swimmer, I find the idea of competing against a trans female swimmer….ridiculous. There is no fair competition between males and females
I played NCAA tennis at a major university. I can tell you that we'd sometimes play high school boys at the tennis camps, & they were already better. The Williams sisters & Navratilova have explained why we cant compete against males in tennis, & I'm sure swimming is similar. A male has a larger skeletal structure, armspan & reach, straight arms (females evolved a wide carrying arch be able to hold a baby using our forearms), straight hips, greater lung capacity & V02 max, higher muscle/ lean tissue percentage, no menstruation, etc.
@@scarletsletter4466 exactly!!! I mean that’s why women/girls and men/boys are separated in sports to begin with!! Bc of the biological difference, so why is everyone acting like those differences vanish as soon as someone is trans. That’s just ridiculous and invading women’s sports.
Git gud
but I bet Blaire thinks she is female enough to compete. lol
@@BananeKiwi199 IIRC, women's sports are separated from men's. Men's sports are often open to women, but they've been devoid of women for so long, you have to look at the rulebooks and *discover* that a lot of the guys' sports are actually co-ed. Basic search shows the NFL and NBA in the U.S. have no rules against women playing on the male teams. Hypothetically, both the NBA and WNBA could be filled with women, if there were enough women that outperformed every man.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for being normal/non extremist! I have constantly been trying to tell people that this Lia Thomas situation is not fair. Inclusion and acceptance does not mean replacement. Lia is replacing biological females in swimming. 🤦🏾♀️
Non extremist? Lol. I spit up a bit of my bean burrito on that one lol.
Lia Thomas is being incredibly selfish that is my take, I am old and one of the things that I have learned in life is that you can't always get what you want, acceptance of that fact is healthy. Thomas can do a lot in her life that does not involve taking advantage of the superior musculature that cisgirls don't have etc Thomas is not competing on a level playing field period, and sadly refuses to admit it.
What you said is true. Would you please not use the word, "cis"? It's a manipulative term that was created by the trans demands extremists & gender identity ideologues. They will say it just means, "Not trans." But what that does is to take biological women & make us a subset of our own sex class!! Now we are no longer women. We are being defined in relation to men who identify as women. I will NOT be made a subset of my own sex!! I am a woman. Don't call me cis.

@@Falinks31 Smart takes hurting your brain
Exactly! I've heard ppl saying no one would change genders just to compete in sports, but with Lia I'm not so sure.
Many ppl spend their entire lives working towards a sport, it is their identity--there is a reason that you have to keep your grades up in school to participate in extracurriculars...
When I was in physical education in school a lot of the guys complained about how the girls needed lower scores (running and strength exercises) to get an A. Carry around tits and hips and have higher body fat count and a different set of hormones and do a comparison... Men are just built different and set up for greater achievement in certain areas of sport. There's a reason there's a difference between gymnastics for men and females as well. It's not discrimination, it's just nature.
just dont be fat
@@JoeMama-rv9wl What a silly response. The way and amount of fat a man and woman need are dramatically different. Woman need roughly 10% more fat then men, and once you start dipping below a certain level (which again is roughly 10% lower for men) there are severe negative health effects. A man at 15% body fat for example is in the healthy range and can easily still loose several percentage points more of it, a woman at 15% body fat is getting to the point where it will likely have negative health effects on her and from a health perspective is likely better to increase her body fat percentage.
But again, I doubt you know anything about any of this. Nor do I think you care as your likely a troll or so ideologically driven what reality is will simply not matter to you.
@@arrowknee7356 it was a joke
@@arrowknee7356 calm the fuck down and get a sense of humor, he was obviously joking.
@@JoeMama-rv9wl I was never fat when I was younger. Even after I had my daughter I was told I couldn't give blood because I wasn't heavy enough (apparently I had to be seven and a half stone, and I was well short of that). My bottom half was a size 8 but my bra size was an F cup. Do you honestly think that wasn't any kind of drawback when it came to sports, and do you think I could have 'dieted' away my breasts?
a lot of research was done and concluded that the rules weren't sound. the mass loss is something like 5% loss, which compared to male and woman, means that the MTF maintains the advantage, even after losing that 5%
Also on the female athlete thing, them not speaking up...they cant. they've basically been told to been quiet on the situation, they're being silenced.
Even if you could even out hormones, bone and muscle density, height, and arm length, you can’t change the pelvis anatomy. The male pelvis is structured to optimize bipedal movement and the female pelvis is structured to optimize childbirth. It’s why men and women walk differently. It’s a major male advantage rarely discussed.
Men's hearts and lungs and skeletons are bigger. That's not dictated by hormones, it's created by chromosomes and DNA which instructs the sex and therefore the body build. Women aren't just little men.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to That's the first time I heard that argument. Swimming isn't really bipedal movement though.

@@Lochness19 It affects the articulation of the legs into the hip joint sockets. That alone affects any movements of the legs, including bipedal movement AND swimming.

I'm a female sprinter. My fastest time for the 100 meter dash is 16.86 seconds. The AVERAGE male time for the 100 meter dash is around 13 seconds. The fastest male in my school runs 11.77 seconds. The fastest female runs 13.92. It's no competition, men are just better athletes due to their biological advantage. It isnt fair to female athletes if they were to compete in the same category.
Women are better at a lot of things. There's a reason why it was the men who hunted for the food and women gathered. God is fair.
After this story I just feel like I’ve given up hope. As a woman I’m terrified of the future.

It's amazing how a Trans-Woman is allowed to compete against biological women, but a Trans-Man is ALSO allowed to compete against biological women. Where is the logic here?
If there's no biological advantage between men and women, why do Trans-Men not compete against biological men? Could it have something to do with the fact that Lia was ranked around 460th in the Men's Division, and is a top competitor in the Women's Division?
This! How is that trans-men can't compete against other biological men? Why is it that trans-men are LITERALLY being told that they shouldn't compete against biological men, because the competition would simply be too hard for them? Why is it that most trans-men aren't winning competitions left and right like trans-women are? Why is that? (We all know why lol)
That’s not accurate. Thomas was quite good in the men’s division, but when she was 460th, she had already started HRT. Also, this is swimming, and the advantages trans women have against other women in that sport are minimal when on HRT
Yes, that comparison was made in the video that everyone watched because it's clearly a factor. Well done for being able to watch something and repeat what you saw as if you thought it yourself from your own brain meat.

The trans man ran with the men and did great, he was already a fantastic athlete and even made it to state. The trans girl ran with him- she understood that biologically, she was different than other cis girls, and was alright running with the boys because she knew there would be an unfair advantage she had over her gender. There was no controversy, no drama, and she did pretty well running against the boys too.

That a trans woman such as Blair White can be such a STAUNCH defender of women really gives me hope in the human race. You are a trooper Blair never lay down.
This is what people should think of when they say ''trans women are real women''. Blaire clearly thinks like a woman and from a woman's point of view. She understands women's issues, like why we might not feel safe in certain situations, and why this is unfair to women in sports. I and so many other people can fully accept trans women as women, without pretending they're not biologically male (you know, the thing that makes someone trans in the first place) and that there are biological differences between men and women.
I think all of these trans gender women were just men who got tired of getting kicked in the balls.
Think about it, women often say things like, "I think I'm ready to have another child, it's been two years since I last gave birth", but when was the last time you heard a man say, "I think I'm ready to get kicked in the balls again, it's been two years since I last got kicked in the groin"?
But you know, you've got to respect any man that's willing to cut off his balls to compete as a woman, as it takes real balls to do something like that.
How can Blair be a 'defender of women' while he poses as a woman on youtube, and diverts attention away from REAL female conservative channels? There is no difference between Blair and Lia Thomas.

@@tigs5354 100%
@@tigs5354 I started hearing the term "cisgendered" in our local LGBTQ media about 4-5 years ago. I've not looked up the origins - but it sounds like a shorthand to me - to say cis woman = "born female, identifies as female" or cis man = "born male, identifies as male". Whereas if someone says "I'm a gender fluid woman" or "I'm a non-binary man" - their sex at birth is woman and man, but the person does not 100% identify as woman or man. I do believe these shades of grey in the human spectrum of gender identity have always existed. To visibly live these differences openly is accepted in some cultures eg India. But many cultures, historically and today, use social pressures and influence to force conformity to the gender that matches your sex at birth. The lifestyle of performer and singer David Bowie is frequently dissected for these very reasons. To close: as a Woman who feels quite at home amongst all the variety of naturally occurring Women, do I like the term "cis woman" .... No. However, if the term helps our queer family and friends to comfortably take their place in society, then I guess I can live with it ☺

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't like the word "guest" as that implies someone who doesn't really belong. Fully transitioned trans women aren't only there for a short stay, they moved in to female spaces and live here now. And that's okay, as long as they are decent and respectful human beings, they are welcome! But that doesn't change the point where you are completely right: Someone who "moved in" at few decades later will never understand what it was like growing up as female, going through female puberty etc.

There was no indication that they were female or women in any way shape or form. Many of them pursued athletic activities in their leisure, and it did not affect them to the point that they no longer had a male advantage. The most it does is really reduce their ability to get b*ners. It is very sad that people think you can change sex now. I have literally seen kids on Tiktok saying that they believe you can change your sex.
You as a scientist should acknowledge that being trans isn't about changing sex. When we say that it's a social construct, we don't make it a sex thing, we make it so that we align with how society perceives men or women.
@@catluvr22 he’s referring to the people that actually believe that a couple of pills for a few months is what it takes to really change sex
Also, the level of testosterone that trans women have to have to compete is so high compared to biological women! This is truly insane
@@andreil1313 Yes the notion of changing sex is harmful even against the support of trans people. But masking the trans movement as this narrative entirely is harmful too.
I'm a guy that fits the profile of very low T. My body was converting much of it to estrogen. What i experienced was some weight gain, man boobs, and being emotional. That was the extent of the change. after starting treatment most of that changed. I still am required to take a pill that retards the amount of T converted to keep me in balance. I maintained the same advantage for the most part. I was still a man, still retained the behavior of a male. So i agree with you. After treatment i lost the man boobs and weight.
You can't be a flight attendant if you have dwarfism, sorry. It's not personal, but there are certain physical requirements for the job, for good reason. You can do another job in the industry - like be a travel agent - but you can't do the job that carries physical requirements you don't have.
Same with sport. Transwomen can still carry out their sport - no one is stopping Lia from going to the pool. If all biological women need to do to beat transwomen is be better at the sport, Lia could become a coach to show them how it's done. But to compete, given Lia does not have the body of a woman, is not fair at all.
Our physicality limits us in many ways in life. That IS life - you are born into a body without a say in the matter. Why someone's gender identity negates these physical limitations above all else doesn't make any sense though - people who cannot handle this simple reality are severely immature and evidently need help to adjust.
So true 👍. Unfortunately the current political agenda in America is to convince as many idiots as possible that thousands of years of scientific and social realities are not actually realities. Suddenly we now know that biology is subjective. Reality (aka truth) is subjective.
This is complete insanity.
I'm 5foot 2 and wasn't allowed to be an air hostess. Lol.
They need a transgender league. So those who've transitioned through to those who just identify can compete against their physical equivalents
Discrimination
@@sineadcampbell5147 but even having a transgender league would be problematic if a woman that started transition at 15 competed with one that started it at 25, for example. It's too complex to solve it in such a simple way. (Although I do agree that Lia Thomas shouldn't be competing in the woman's league for obvious reasons)
@@ihx4111 there could be different categories…like the weight categories in fighter sports
Honestly, Intact America needs you as a sponsor. You’re awesome.
As women we've been fighting to have our own sports in this country for centuries. 💯 And it's simply not fair for that to be taken from us because someone has a serious advantage because they were born a different gender at birth. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being transgender, but you have to know when you have a serious advantage against others. That's like putting me in a room with a bunch of people that don't speak English, of course I'm going to win the English competition.... And of course it isn't fair cuz I'm the only one that was raised to speak English 💯🤦🏻♀️
Amen women have been put down ! Made to feel inferior to males and had to struggle even harder than some men in sports to reach the top and I fully endorse equality in womens sports cause as a dad of a female athlete she had to work harder and harder to reach D1 and this guy just comes in and blows it all up and he doesn’t care about who he hurts and the pics of the real women and the true athletes pic together and stand away from him and he was booed when they announced him !this society for women has set them back decades if they let this continue !! I’m sick of it !!
Bs, this is about gender equality. You can't pick where does this apply or now. Equality is universal.
We’re not born different genders. We’re born different sex, male & female. Gender is a social construct.
@@bluemorpho6689 Nope, gender and sex are and always have been the same and I do not accept the attempts to hijack language. Come up with a new word if you desire, after all their seems to be no lack of imagination when it comes to pronouns, but don't hijack traditional language and meaning for folks that like to play dress up.
@@SW-li7gd "There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people." Please think before you write, and do not be disingenuous.
Edit: I'm not sure if people in these replies are acting stupid or are really this dumb, but equal rights =/= equal bodies. It's such a simple concept, but people wake up and really choose to embarrass themselves.
