There were several other conference championships taking place last week. Some of the top teams in the CSCAA Top 25 were in action, including No. 1 Virginia, No. 3 Tennessee, No. 4 N.C. State and No. 11 Louisville.
For Thomas, it could be a bit of a preview of what’s to come when she gets to face off against some of the top swimmers next month.
Thomas finished in fifth place among some of the other competitors who participated in their conference championships last week. Virginia’s Katherine Douglass and Gretchen Walsh were the stars of the 100 free.
Douglass won the ACC Championship with a 46.81 and Walsh finished with a 46.86. N.C. State’s Katharine Berkoff had a 46.89 and Morgan Scott, of Alabama, had a 47.32
Thomas had a dominating 200 free at the Ivies. And compared to the rest of the nation, the transgender swimmer finished pretty high. Thomas’ 1:43.12 was good for third. Virginia’s Alexandra Walsh had a 1:42.28, which was good for the ACC title, and
Kentucky’s Riley Gaines won the SEC Championship with a 1:42.62. Brooklyn Douthwright, of Tennessee, finished with a 1:43.45
In the 500 free, Thomas put together another top three performance for the week. She finished with a 4:37.32. SEC champion Julia Mrozinski, of Tennessee, had a 4:35.95. Virginia’s Emma Weyant, the ACC champion, had a 4:37.23.
Thomas’ time was better than Alabama’s Kensey McMahon, who had a 4:38.34, and Tennessee’s Kristen Stege who swam a 4:38.50.
As a freshman, Thomas set a time of 8:57.55 seconds in the 1,000-yard freestyle, the 6th-fastest men's time in the country. Her times in the 500-yard freestyle & the 1,650-yard freestyle were among the top 100 in the country.

On the surface, I appeared to be the epitome of masculinity. I beat up boys in the boxing ring and was a force on the field. As an adult, I became a prison officer. It was all part of the shield.

“The day I was born, my father crashed the car because he was so excited to have Warren Jr.,” Miller said. “I cannot underestimate the expectations that my dad placed upon my shoulders to be his little man. And how I coped, I manned up in a big way and tried to make it go away.” Image

If we don't stop this sickening attack in Texas on trans & gender diverse kids and their families it won't stop there. We need some BIG voices to help call this transgender genocide out.
Currently sitting in the Nsw Parliament is a @OneNationAus Bill. This Bill seeks nothing less than the total erasure of any and all trans and gender diverse content, inclusion programs and even counselling from every school in NSW, government and non-government alike.
In doing so, it seeks to completely erase trans and gender diverse kids, too.

It does this by adding the following definition to the Education Act 1990 (NSW):
gender fluidity means a belief there is a difference between biological sex (including people who are, by their

In the trans sports conversation we should not be blaming the trans or cis athletes for the prolonged 7 year war on this subject. In 2015 the IOC through the 10nmol policy on the table with no scientific backing, no broad consultation & zero follow-up education.
@pjvazel ”When I tried to identify the scientific basis for the infamous 10 nmol/L testosterone limit, I was referred from one Institution to another, and the quotes that follow are from actual conversations that I had with these experts.”
The UCI states that “it has not contributed to the study but follows IOC instructions”. 

The WADA Health, Medicine and Research Committee referred me to its Science Department, which in turn directed me to the IOC Medical Department.

The ‘transex’d’ body is not the problem. It is projected as being ‘the problem as it physically represents visually challenging then parallels of the body types; and threatens the social ideals created to which society and sport is developed upon.
That is what is happening. What we need to change is not women’s or athletes bodies; but creating how we do sport. With a focus on individuality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility to sport.
Testosterone determines speed and strength and transgender athletes will always have an advantage, Untrue, Untrue, T plays 200 key health roles in the human physiology separate of the sex of the body every single day. It is not based on volume T.

Do you have a good starting position when approaching opposing views. 
Mine is simple, i bring love and inclusion to any conversation, devoid of judgement because it only fogs your ability to see what is really going on.
I understand that you may have an opposing view to me but where and how did you acquire that position / opinion and is it based in well researched peer reviewed current learning, or is it exploiting a view of the few that harms those with real lived experience.
While I don’t judge you I will fight your behavior in a variety of ways, some that will not even appear to oppose your position but will influence the outcome anyway.

Radio silence: Sports in dark over transgender athletes bill

Brilliance by Georgina Robinson and Roy Ward

smh.com.au/sport/radio-si…
Australia’s largest female participation sport issued a sharp rebuke to the federal government about a private member’s bill seeking to ban transgender athletes from women’s sport as it emerged no major sport had been consulted on the move.
Netball Australia chief executive Kelly Ryan said neither Prime Minister Scott Morrison nor the Liberal senator who tabled the bill, Claire Chandler, had asked the organisation for its views on the issue and suggested sports should be left to make their own decisions.
