FINA votes to restrict transgender swimmers, including Lia Thomas

[Earl]

Well, either you believe as I do or you do not pretty much goes for everything. I still thank the Founders for the foresight to stop folks that are strict followers of some religion from making laws based on their religions. What you think is a "sin" is legal, and I think that is a good thing. It gives you a chance to prove your Faith to yourself by stopping yourself from breaking the tenets of your religion and it gives others the freedom to do things that you wouldn't.

It was illegal at one time and I just posted that I believe in the Establishment Clause.

The debate was about belief in God’s law which is clear about homosexuality. I believe in God’s laws which are un-ambiguous and the owner of the server does not...due to PC in my opinion. Your call though.I understand your timidity, most people don’t want to be called haters when they are not.

Swimming's world governing body voted to restrict the participation of transgender athletes in women's events and will look into creating an "open competition" category in a membership vote on Sunday.

FINA members voted 71.5% in favor of a policy that requires transgender swimmers to have completed their transition by age 12 to be able to compete, per the Associated Press. There are 152 national federations with voting rights. The vote applies to all events beginning on Monday. Part of the 24-page policy was a proposal for an "open competition" category."I do not want any athlete to be told they cannot compete at the highest level," FINA president Husain Al-Musallam

The decision most immediately impacts Penn swimmer Lia Thomas, who became the first transgender NCAA champion in Division I history when she won the women's 500-yard freestyle in March. Thomas competed on the Penn men's team before transitioning and competing as a woman for the first time in 2021-22.

I agree with that... I'm not sure I've seen examples of that prior to 12... I have seen the television program "I am Jazz" and that was fairly disturbing ...

TOP, when a man tries to change his gender (which he can not) to a woman, is he then attracted to men...which would be homosexuality?

Sodomy was a hanging offense in all the states until mid 20th century.

I assume that every individual is different... I believe our swimmer in question still dates women...

[Earl]

Lol...this is all above my pay grade.

So the swimmer is transgender and wants to be a dyke?

How does anyone get so fucked up in the head?
