Apparently when you can't beat the people in your own gender, its best to just switch and claim you're a female so you can dominate! I feel sorry for all of the young women in the future who dreamt of becoming #1 in sports, only to be dominated by a guy who couldn't cut it as a man so he claimed he was transgender and went on to dominate the women.
Sad.

Thomas, who is a transgender woman, touched the wall in 4 minutes, 33.24 seconds in the 500-yard freestyle on Thursday night to become the first known transgender athlete to win a Division I national championship in any sport.Thomas finished 1.75 seconds ahead of second-place Emma Weyant, who attends Virginia. Thomas' time was a season best and a little more than 9 seconds off of Katie Ledecky's 4:24.06 record. The race began with the crowd cheering for each of the swimmers, but fans were noticeably quiet for Thomas' introduction. Save Women's Sports founder Beth Stelzer draped a vinyl banner with the organization's phrase over the railing.
