They didn’t tie for first though did they? They tied for fifth. And in the video it looks to me like Lia’s hand did touch the wall a fraction of a second before the other girl. So to me that looks like Lia DID come in fifth. Weird that she doesn’t have a problem with the four cis gender girls that beat her, just the transgender one. They all clearly had a physical advantage over her AND Lia because they swam faster and beat them both. The trans girl is young and is clearly on hormone therapy that has reduced her testosterone to the same level of the other girls and because she is young she will not yet have benefitted from the higher testosterone levels that biological males have. That is why she placed fifth not first. If she hadn’t had any hormone therapy she would have beaten every last one of them by a wide margin. I am just a casual swimmer and I would probably beat them all easily because I naturally benefit from my body’s production of an S1 anabolic substance. But if as a teenager I started therapy to reduce my testosterone levels and increase my oestrogen levels to the same level of the teenage girls around me, my physical advantage over them would diminish very quickly and competing with cis gender girls would not be easy and I might not place in the top 3 anymore. Just like Lia.

@@tomonetruth Can you explain the "casual hatred of 'transgenderism' " please? If anything it seems like an issue that society has created. Transgender isn't a new thing. But because of the recent focus on it the last couple years, it has become a bigger subject and focal point than it has been in awhile, and honestly, probably more than ever was before this day and age. Any male that is transitioning to a female knows they have *genetic* advantages. Especially after puberty. It's not a personal opinion or feeling; it's fact, and backed by science and biology. This isn't a hate on transgender people, it is about the genuine equity of it all. No hate just saying my opinion. 🙂 Context can be lost in reading obviously. But just saying my few cents. But I would like to know what you mean by what you said in your comment, if you dont mind diving into it more? 🙂

Honestly sports is literally supposed to bring people together to promote equality. Women fought hard for their rights to be allowed to compete in sports and while it's getting better it's not where it needs to be. And adding trans females into women's leagues is only a step in the wrong direction. I have nothing against every day trans people and their rights as human beings. But trans females (biological males) who have aspirations of dominating whatever their favorite sport may be should either have to play against other trans females or they'll just have to join a Male league. Again. I think starting a petition for trans leagues would make it so everyone wins instead of continuously giving biological women the short end of the stick.

I call unsportsmanlike conduct on the NCAA. Telling her to to hold the lesser trophy and get out of the way is despicable. This whole story is madness from start to finish.

[@xiholliday]

not defending Lia's abuse of the NCAA rules or anything, but do you know the protocols for two women finishing in a tie? For example, if she tied 5th place with another woman, would they both get the 5th place or 6th place trophy? Or would it be another instance of one of them just having to suck it up and accept the 6th place trophy. Normally the loser here would have to feel salty in some way, but I bet losing to a trans adds even more pain.

So by telling her to step away and not treating them as such they really gave away why the transitioning guy got the trophy. They wanted what they considered good publicity and sacrificed the woman basically. That's how it appears to me anyway.
