Dementia in the individual is rare; in groups, in parties, in towns, in times, it is the rule. Frederick Nietzsche
Will Thomas he was a mediocre swimmer who was not listed in the top 100 in the US. He chose to be transgender. He is now called Lia Thomas. Lia plunged into the Atlanta, Georgia pool in the 400m freestyle and beat out Emma Weyantsilver in the 400m combined at the JO in Tokyo, and according to some media outlets, and excuse the readers for not dwelling on statistics on this occasion —I accept it without corroborating it—, she is faster than the multi-champion Katie Ledecky. Last year, the waters were stirred when the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) authorized Lia compete against women. About 7 days ago, during a bill in the state of Virginia, USA, with the idea of equality in women’s sports, the waves intensified with the words and ideas of Riley Gainesgraduated from the U. of Kentucky, 12 times All-American and one of the fastest of all time in the 200m butterfly: “On March 17 of last year my teammates and from other universities were forced to compete against a biological man named Lia Thomas, who for three years was a member of the U. of Pennsylvania men’s team. In the 400 m he surpassed the most successful athletes in the country. In the 200m freestyle test, Lia and I tied, even in hundredths. There was only one trophy. They gave it to him. I questioned the NCAA and they told me that Lia I needed it for photographic purposes. But this is not all. The NCAA forced us to share the locker room with Thomas, a 22-year-old man, 1.90 m tall and who kept his male genitalia. He did not warn us or ask us for our approval. It was an extremely uncomfortable situation in the locker room to see a man watching you undress while he undressed… A couple of years ago this would have been classified as voyeurism”. The conclusion of Riley it is that the integrity and values of women’s sport are lost. The performance of Lia He jumped from the sporting field to the political one. And the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantisproclaimed the winner to Weyant in the Atlanta competition. In June 2022, in Budapest, FINA decided to ban transgender swimmers from women’s events, they will be able to do so when they have completed their transition before the age of 12. The subject is as complex and simple as the prism through which it is observed. The metaphor of the snake that bites its tail and ends up devouring itself. Man and society are changing proteins in each town, each century, each era. One of the differences is marked by testosterone, the driving force in men. The cornerstone of the sport is to compete on equal terms. Establish a Trans FI, with evidence, in relation to scientific indices. It does not exclude, it is respect for the rules.
