Local :reddit-logo: is bursting with them right now due to some college swimmer or something. So so so so many "I support trans people / think they deserve a place in society / have a trans friend BUT (transphobia)"

Seen someone talking about Micheal Phelps' natural biological advantages and that seems to shut them up, but other dunks would be appreciated

    Of course if Lia Thomas was coming in 4th and 5th place no one would care.

    Lia herself only won the one race, but of course chuds never talk about her record as a whole. Her last swim meet had her coming in eighth, all in all her collegiate record both pre and post transition is about what you'd expect for a top-tier athlete that doesn't completely dominate the way outliers like Phelps do - one big win, lots of top ten finishes.
