So, guys, Derek, more plates,merdates.com.

Today we're going to be talking about the highly controversial Leah Thomas winning the national championship.

She is the first known trans athlete to win an NCAA division one title in any sport, winning the 500 freestyle at the NCAA women's swimming championships. Yes, so we have a trans athlete competing

against women. So this is formerly a biological male who has since decided to transition

to female. And they have improved their positioning quite substantially. The fucking

difference in ranking is astronomical, so i had this on my

to-do list from a while ago when she was smashing records for example 22 years old

uh uh you pen swimmer used to compete as a man smashes two u.s women's records in weekend competition

finishes one race 38 seconds ahead of her nearest rival.

Leah Thomas, 22, won the freestyle, 1650 freestyle, left rivals floundering in a 500 freestyle.

Last month competed, so she's been getting a fuck ton of hype behind her in a bad bad ways a lot to be honest like the majority is not

a good press um and for obvious reason this is an individual who previously was ranked 4602 i believe

here it is biologically lea holds an unfair advantage over competition in the women's

women's category as evidenced by her rankings that abound from 462 as a male to number

one as a female yeah so Leah Thomas used like not that long ago was competing in the

male division and this isn't a situation of, like you barely making the cut of the threshold

limits for testosterone suppression.

But in addition to that, the time frame in which you need to do it, there are new NCA

stipulations in place for what you would need to be able to qualify as a trans athlete who

meets, you know, the recommended requirements essentially

for qualifying for the division. And no, it's not genital surgery, believe it or not. You know,

this is, I guess, a joke that was in the subreddit. Genital surgery is medically unnecessary
