She won the NCAA Division 1 women\u2019s 500-yard freestyle in March after a spectacular season in which she regularly dominated all her competition. <\/p>\n<p>But her dominance was plainly due to the obvious size and strength advantage she enjoys over the other swimmers she competes against. Pre-transition, competing with male swimmers of similar size and weight, Thomas ranked 554th in 200-yard freestyle.\u00a0That\u2019s too big a jump to be explained by even the most miraculous training regimen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Letting athletes like Thomas compete in the women\u2019s division is unfair to most competitors, a fact pointed out again and again by those very swimmers as well as commentators like Caitlyn Jenner (herself a trans woman and former gold-medal decathlete).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some will surely blast the WSCA\u2019s idea as \u201cseparate but unequal!\u201d Yet trans female athletes <em>are <\/em>unequal in size and strength to the women they compete against.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trans people deserve respect and legal and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> inclusion \u2014 not special treatment, where obvious, decisive physical differences are ignored in the name of equity. A trans division is the right call. Other sports bodies need to back the WSCA up, before yet another part of human life falls victim to woke insanity.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
