Finally the correct decision for keeping women's sports to women!
Period!

Jessica has officially left the planet with her argument here. A man in the locker room is not the same as a lesbian in the locker room and yes there are absolutely physical differences between men and women.

"Trans women" aren't banned from competing, though. They can compete in the class they actually belong in, against other males.

Will "liar" Thomas should be forced to return EVERY medal/trophy/award HE STOLE from all those women!!

[LG-kmfw]

He can always compete with the men so he's not barred from swimming That's a lie. He's just barred from cheating.

[thesuperdingos]

The fact that he got this far ahead with it says it all. Shouldn’t have happened at all.

Breaking News: Men not allowed to compete in the womens Olympic events.

It’s great news that Lea Thomas has been stopped by common sense and a vote for fairness and decency! Maybe the country is getting past Woke!🎉🎉🎉

Jessica spent too much time in gender study classes in university.

[kayty]

A league for trans athletes was offered and not one signed up

[carolinewharton]

So, a male was banned from competing against women? What's the problem?

[lexusl.]

Jessica should be forced to sign up for wrestling or boxing and she can choose her opponent. A trans woman or a natural born woman and let’s see who she picks.

[BobSmith-lbnc]

Lia Thomas wants to cheat, plain and simple. He couldn't win as a man, so decided to compete with women. This was an attempt to destroy Title IX.

[AstralAquarium]

Lia Thomas’ statement is absurd. The Olympics aren’t about anyone’s identity.

[CaseyBurnsInvesting]

Lia Thomas dates a biological woman. Jessica definitely hasn’t done any research on this.

[RiceDaddy]

I'm a liberal and I support not letting Lia Thomas attend women Olympics sports.

[christopher]

This is a good decision. Thomas should be expelled from women's sports, and should have all awards as a woman canceled and given to actual women.

[michaelcarter]

I hate this imaginary game we are all playing when we say that lia Thomas is a woman when clearly he is a man.

[BoRaiChoWins]

Thank you Olympic community thank you for standing up for women’s sports.

So much respect for Amber calling him the correct pronoun.
