Transphobic writing

edit

So this person has clearly outed herself as transphobic and is the main reason people know who she is. It defined her more than her swimming and should be more focused on in thus article as a point of relevance. Talonx89.12.72.44 (talk) 08:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your tone and word choice prevents you from being a neutral editor here. I would suggest you read Györdy's letter to understand how she has been nothimg but supportive. Here are some important linez: "Everyone has heard and known about transgender swimmer, Lia Thomas, and her case including all the issues and concerns that her situation brought into our sport. I’d like to point out that I respect and fully stand with Lia Thomas; I am convinced that she is no different than me or any other D1 swimmer who has woken up at 5am her entire life for morning practice. She has sacrificed family vacations and holidays for a competition. She has pushed herself to the limit to be the best athlete she could be. She is doing what she is passionate about and deserves that right. On the other hand, I would like to critique the NCAA rules that allow her to compete against us, who are biologically women."[1]

Any neutral third-party would fail to see the transphobia you are describing. It seems very important to have neutral editors covering topics like this. 108.34.231.7 (talk) 03:30, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
