Former congressman Lou Barletta exploits the debate surrounding trans swimmer Lia Thomas for political steam.
regarding UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas, a trans woman who recently broke records and put up astonishing times in the women’s 200-yard, 500-yard, and 1,650-yard freestyle events, qualifying for the NCAA swimming and diving championships in each event. Critics and TERFs, as expected, lost their shit over Thomas’ participation in the women’s events, citing an “unfair” advantage over cis women swimmers due to natural testosterone levels.
A few days later, along comes Barletta, more than happy to capitalize on the media frenzy by denouncing trans women everywhere with needless fear-mongering.“There is a coordinated campaign being carried out by politicians around the country targeting transgender youth.
“In Pennsylvania and across America, trans women are women; trans men are men. Only they—not birth certificates—get to decide their identity and where they feel most appropriate to play sports in our Commonwealth,” added Jonathan Lovitz, a ccandidate for PA House District 182 and an LGBTQ public policy expert. “What fear-mongers like Lou Barletta call being ‘woke’ and ‘politically correct,’ I call standing up for decency, dignity, and inclusion for all.
