“You can’t work hard enough to beat someone who is built differently than you.”
Hi friend,
The first time that university swimmer Sara* heard about Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer dominating the Ivy League conference, she was in the warm-up pool getting ready to race Thomas for the first time.
It was the Cornell-Princeton-Penn tri-meet, and Sara watched as Thomas obliterated all of the other female athletes in the 200y freestyle.
“My teammates and I were all mind blown that someone could go that fast in a dual meet. I’m a firm believer in hard work over talent. This is a case where it’s not about talent or hard work. You can’t work hard enough to beat someone who is built differently than you.”

While swimming on the women’s team this season, after three years competing as a male, Thomas, formerly known as Will, has set pool, program, and meet records, and has also broken several NCAA women’s records. In one event, Thomas was 38 seconds ahead of the next-closest female swimmer.
Women deserve to be heard and not have their opportunities, safety, and security sacrificed on the altar of radical identity politics.
I hope you’ll read more of Sara’s story on Independent Women’s Forum. ([link removed])

Adriana McLamb
