Swim Not By Lies

Orwell explained why Lia Thomas and allies who insist on his transgender charade are preparing our society for totalitarian domination

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why women and the men who love them tolerate the destruction of women’s athletics by this giant man who calls himself Lia Thomas — and by the woke NCAA officials who mandate that everyone live, and swim, by the lie that he is a female.

I can’t think of anything today that better exemplifies this line from Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Look and listen to this man, who demolished the female competition this week in the national championships:

Look:

No, Emma Weyant is the national champion. Lia Thomas is a usurper who stole Emma Weyant’s place by virtue of having powerful ideologues in his corner. This is the way of the world now. I wonder if CPAC founder Matt Schlapp has sent Lia congratulations for smoking the vagina-havers.

Click on this tweet to read a thread about how transgenderism is destroying women’s sports — and how female student athletes can’t say anything about it because of Title IX rules:

The author is not a conservative, but a self-described “radical feminist”. If you wonder why more young women athletes aren’t protesting (other than Title IX), consider the harassment from LGBT media:

Women athletes are being dispossessed in full view of the rest of us, and we’re just letting it happen, because we have to be progressive, and live by the left-wing lie that biology doesn’t matter, and that sex is all in one’s head. Even a conservative leader like Matt Schlapp has accepted the lie (“her story”). Right now, all across the US, children are being taught in schools that men like Lia Thomas really are women. These kids are being prepared for submission to this totalitarian regime of lies. They are being instructed by the authorities in this culture — including parents who either accept the lie, or who are too timid to object — to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears. Orwell says this was the Party’s “most essential command” because if you can force people to affirm something that they can plainly see and hear is a lie, then they are putty in your hands.

People who believe Lia Thomas is a woman, and who won’t raise their voice when he and his powerful allies steal from women, are preparing our society for slavery. Orwell told us how.
