I don't think there should be an asterisk in the record book. But there should be an eggplant emoji.

Her margin of victory was impressive.

The weirdest part of this story is the feeling that a huge portion of the public -- like I'm guessing 80 to 90% -- believe that Thomas swimming with the women isn't fair.
Yet in the strange year of 2022, there's not a lot anyone can do about it. A lot of news outlets are even struggling to keep a straight face.

But to sell this as if she is at some disadvantage.

The biggest adjustment for Lia must have been going from a mens $90 racing suit to a Womens $600 suit.

This is a striking picture. Pulitzer Prize worthy, if not for the mixed up politics, that make it unacceptable to the narrative.

This narrative is incredible.
Is it really gender policing to question Lia swimming agains women, when she was only recently a man, competing against men?

This is a striking picture. Pulitzer Prize worthy, if not for the mixed up politics, that make it unacceptable to the narrative. Inspirational hero celebrates, while three angry, aggrieved Trumpists keep their distance.

Is there any explanation out there for what the photo actually does show?

We're all in 2nd place together and none are worthy to be close to such an inspirational courageous hero.

Is there any explanation out there for what the photo actually does show? The three are friends from the Olympics and wanted a pic together after the formal podium shot:
