So true. When I first heard the story I thought the problem was first and second place. Now I find out it was a tie for fifth and they had Gaines hold the sixth place trophy in the pic. From that, the b**ch has made an entire career and been in front of congress and on right wing shows.
Worse, it was down to hundredths of a second, like, really? Your performance difference was that small, AND you both got your ass handed to you by four other people.
As far as I can tell, it’s because winning means that god is on your side. These hateful religious fanatics thus find it appalling that someone they believe is evil could win. It’s the sickest and saddest kind of tribalism. It terrifies them to think that competition might just be about skill.
I was a top ranked male athlete, but I threw it away to start HRT, lose muscle and bone density, become sterile, wear women's clothes and makeup, live as a woman 24/7, face hate everyday so I could play on a girl's team and get paid less and beat up on women. Sound right?
Performative Transphobia and American Conservatism are synonyms.
Imagine hating someone that 99% of these people have never met, over something that impacts them in no way, but affects every aspect of the trans individuals' lives down to the thought.
America’s basic goodness & decency-the ideal of freedom ppl fought & died for; what desperate millions emigrated to the US for-is dying by a thousand stabs at its very♥️. It’s become 1930s Germany: fascist, Far-Right, run by amoral felon$, $upported by NeoNazis, homophobes & hypocrite “Christians.” 😢
I don’t think this “govt” gives a damn what anyone says, esp anyone non-white. Sorry but IDK if you’re being ironic or ?: the internet’s fraught w/misunderstanding of intent.😟
I’m certain Trump, Mu$k etal. will continue to wreck it all as long as they’re allowed to get away w/it: #NoConscience
*Christian Nationalists (CN) aka Christofascists. They got a sh1tpile of old money and powerful influential families. Their mission: a Christian theocracy as oppressive as Irân's Shia Muslim regime.
That's something we evidently misunderstood when state and federal politicians were trying to pass anti Sharia laws. Most of us thought they were afraid of Muslim influence but now I realize they were just afraid of the competition.
“Spot-on,” as they say here in🇬🇧. America as I grew up in; as my ancestors back to 1750s knew, fought &died 4 in the Revolution-tho IK they’re not blameless😔; the country 2 ancestors fought for Union/Anti-Slavery; the country my Dad served in WW2…is dead. CNs are today’s AryanNazis.
I mourn🗽ashamed😢.
Unfortunately, as has long been the case in the history of the U.S., the worst of the anti-LGBTQ are religious fanatics. They have been taught to see themselves as warriors fighting to save the world. Except, they are deeply hypocritical and out of step with the values of their supposed religions.
They tied for fifth? I had no idea. I scrolled past that face whining.
Always felt that no one wanted that penis in the change room not even said penis owner so I did not see the issue or the hub bub.
This whole hate thing about trans is so stupid. When I competed in Masters swimming, I regularly competed against men in my meets. No big deal. It was all about seed times. I would just look at their feet. To me, big feet = they had a good change at beating me. Fellow swimmers know what I'm saying.
And then she stood next to Trump at a rally and he said he was stronger and could also beat her. Just because he is a man. He doesn’t even see her as an elite athlete just some pawn in his cruel game. Kirk Cameron also paraded her around his magical hate-filled book tour.
The Republican bigots sure took this issue and ran with it. The opposition had no answer...the answer: 8 out of 510k athletes is .00002%. Trump has more rape allegations. Hate is the easiest way to mobilize uneducated bigots.
And she let the Tangerine Fuhrer claim that he could easily beat her in a swimming competition. Ten bucks says the guy can’t even doggy paddle, but I’m sure his Y chromosome would give him the super speed & endurance to beat a professional swimmer.
The one thing we can be certain of is that he will float. Even before his bloated body started to decay he’d have the buoyancy of a balloon full of bacon fat.
Usually, it looks pretty frothy when it hits the ground, and he seems extra full of hot air. So I think we’ll still be able to use an oversized skimmer to scoop him out and throw him away. 💩🤡🗑️ 🤣
They're referring to America's National Crybaby. Riley Gaines. Interesting Fact about Riley Gaines. She's married to an Undocumented immigrant! True story.
I'll stand (somewhat) corrected. Last check, he was getting his green card revoked because he's refusing the COVID vaccine. Still, fitting if it is revoked due to that vaccine.
Her name even sounds like part of some bad campaign slogan. Riley Gaines, and now adding her married name of Barker only makes it worse. I hate making fun of people that way, but when your life is a caricature already.
Actually no. I've completely dissociated and resigned myself to the end of humanity. We're back to stupid people empowering lunatics. Next, flush all blood and treasure down the toilet. All to defend the accumulated wealth of a couple dozen super-parasites.
Honestly, at this point, if I had the power to make the sun flare enough to end life on the planet, I would press the button so we could be done with this.

Just let them be themselves, FFS.
That this didn't result in a suspension or outright disqualification from future competition for unsportsmanlike conduct proves it.

Apparently they can't swim very well.
I am sincerely concerned as your neighbour.
Also, enjoy this fine new opera for our times.
On behalf of Canada, you're welcome for the song 💜🇨🇦

and that failure’s no success at all
''There is a sucker born every minute.'' PT Barnum.

Just substitute "swim meet" for a variety of other activities.
All for tying in 5th place-and Katie Ledecky won that event
Now it’s from pretending to spit or pretending to swim good.
