America was embroiled in a debate on Friday over collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas. Thomas shattered a glass ceiling by becoming the first transgender to win an NCAA title in the 500 freestyle. She then shattered another glass ceiling becoming the first transgender to only come in 5th place in 200 freestyle. Amidst the shards of glass of ceilings being shattered, there is a debate over whether it was fair for Thomas to compete. Prior to becoming the top female swimmer in the world, Thomas went through puberty as a male. There are people who feel, because of science, that gives Lia an unfair advantage over girls who did not go through puberty as a male. There are others who feel that group of people are transphobes.
That's the debate Americans are having throughout the interwebs, and even at the arena while Thomas was shattering her first glass ceiling. A woman argued with a man. The woman said it wasn't fair. The man who supports Lia's accomplishments was of course also wearing an N95 mask.
Their debate boils down to this. The woke dude wearing the N95 mask believes that, because the woman who has ovaries is not a biologist, she isn't qualified to say what is or isn't a girl. The woman with ovaries argues that, while she is not a biologist, she still has functioning eyes. I am neither a biologist nor someone with ovaries, so I'm not qualified to chime in. Only the people who write Facebook's community guidelines are qualified enough to tell us what a woman is. Though, there are some people who have been sharing this photo because they think something seems off:
The debate will continue to rage on. Lia Thomas plans to shatter more glass ceilings. She wants to become the first transgender NCAA champion to compete in the Olympics. Then, she wants to become the first transgender NCAA champion and Olympian to become a lawyer. The other female competitors are, I don't know, going to go back to school or something.
