    What a sham…So not fair for the biological woman competitors.  Would love to hear how anyone can  think this man’s inclusion in woman’s swimming is acceptable and celebrated.  
    Are you confusing Ledecky with Lia Thomas?

    would appear so....

    I sure hope this is bull shit, and if it is I apologize for spreading a falsehood 

    SHE, has been an international swimming phenom since 2012. Would not someone have made some kind of allegation or accusation between then and now? Long ago? Nothing. Not a whisper until last year.......

     I'm assuming locker rooms for women/girls are generally set up the same as for men/boys. Open showers,  locker spaces,  etc. If that is true, then surely she would have been outed long ago, no?

    Trying so hard to protect women's sports that they have now taken to degrading women.

    exactly....SHE started swimming at six...went to Catholic prep schools, you really think that secret would make it this far? Just off the charts ignorant.

    Just because some random person started a rumor doesn’t mean anything. I haven’t heard of it outside of it being shared on this forum, not many seem to be talking about it or taking this rumor seriously.
    My guess it started as either a prank or someone confused her with Lia Thomson and made a meme when she tied Phelps’ record.

    I imagine it was purposeful lie as they know people will not research anything themselves and it will push an agenda.
    And tbh, it's a nuanced topic but in general and am not pro-trans in regards to competing in sports like this.  I don't think it can be without some true guardrails otherwise, why separate genders at all?

    definitely a purposeful lie....that's their formula

    I'm sure she enjoys reading these conspiracy theories about herself.  Maybe she'll get beaten up or sexually assaulted. Her lost safety and physical/mental health can just be collateral damage toward the noble goal of angering people towards a desired conclusion.

    I only hear of Ledecky once every 4 years during the Olympics. It’s not like most people follow competitive swimming.
    Im guessing very few people believe that rumor. And the majority who do are just confusing her with Lia Thomas. I remembered Ledecky’s name when I saw that first post because I love watching the Olympics and knew it wasn’t right. I had to Google the name of the trans swimmer because I couldn’t remember it. I’m betting those who believe this rumor just know there’s a trans swimming in the news and don’t remember the name like I did and assume this is her. I probably would have done the same if I didn’t remember Ledecky from watching her 3 years ago. My guess is you won’t be hearing much of this rumor in the future, it’s going to die quickly.

    lol...you would be apologizing for almost every single post you make

    She had the grace to apologize.  You might do the same for that jab.

    I'm not giving the site that traffic...but from the apparent title, the very existence of it shows once again who spends so much time thinking about this kind of thing.

    Well., and not to pile on....but she said "if it is" bullshit, she apologizes...so it seems she remains unconvinced somehow.

    Look, guys, I'm as unimpressed as anyone with the hard right, but personal attacks never changed anyone's mind, especially in a forum that doesn't allow it.   I think it makes more sense to ignore personal statements you and I think are bullshit.  Beats taking the chance of getting a time out. 
    A generalized statement of disdain for the far-right though-- yeah, I think that is fair game.
