Es que es un hombre, que compita con ellos, las demás mujeres deberian retirarse de las competencias donde le pongan un hombre a competir con ellas

should’ve tried harder. you wanna place higher, you gotta work harder than the person in front of you. no one took that chance from her. all elite athletes have physical advantages that they develop to the fullest. lia thomas built upon her own skills and, like many swimmers, used her height and musculature to win her national title.

Special people like that need to be in safe and secure places building bird boxes.

What a shame! I was looking forward to the hilarity that would ensue when she did show up.

Sad to see how the LGTB community is also segregated in sports. I thought people were free to play the sports of their choosing. What a step back.
