Sorry if I’m being insensitive it’s not intentional but it is accurate 

Just say sorry or nothing at all.

Well remember what happened to  Stephanie Turner, the fencer who refused to compete against a trans, she got booted out!

 

Yes , but I said all women should refuse and show solidarity. 
It is no good just one objecting , if they all do it , there is no event to hold.

U.S.M.S. is more of a club, and as such has rules regarding gender definitions. 

 

You should direct your outrage to U.S.M.S.

 

 

https://www.usms.org/about/what-is-us-masters-swimming

 

U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) allows transgender swimmers to compete in the gender category they identify with. This includes participation in competitions, ranking, and official recognition. The policy, outlines by U.S. Masters Swimming, allows trans or non-binary individuals to self-identify and compete in the appropriate category. 

 

 

Personally, I would be in favor of a ban here based some percentage difference in personal best times. But this is a non-profit club and is not subject to my opinion.

Totally agree, but most women are gentler souls than most men, or trans!

Did you get the full lobotomy, or just the partial?
