The transgender movement is a direct threat to women’s sports. A transgender woman can compete and win in women’s sports. A woman who transitions to a man will generally not do well in men’s sports. This is illustrated in a article posted yesterday at PJ Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Will Thomas\u00a0was a moderately successful swimmer<\/a> on the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s men\u2019s swim team for three years.\u00a0But then he took a year off, reemerged as transgender, and started dominating the women\u2019s swim team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe process of coming out as being trans and continuing to swim was a lot of uncertainty and unknown around an area that\u2019s usually really solid. Realizing I was trans threw that into question. Was I going to keep swimming? What did that look like?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cBeing trans has not affected my ability to do this sport and being able to continue is very rewarding.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He is competing in an unequal playing field where he has an unfair advantage. How many women will lose college scholarships in swimming to a transgender women?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
