Woman should protest, stop competing and training. Tell Virginia university they cant compet with much stronger swimmers ( men).

Strike action makes the most sense here. If I were on the women's swimming team I'd just give the ultimatum. No males on the team or I walk, if all the women, or hell even the vast majority had the balls to do this, there'd be no balls on the swim team.

Agreed. What would be the point of swimming anyway? It would just be the tranny swimming. They should do something else and consider changing careers, since the career prospect is endangered anyway.

The way I see it this stuff is just so stupid and the reason why you don't want to allow trans women on women's sports teams in general is so obvious, that it's really not worth fighting, arguing or battling over. Why waste your energy dealing with idiots? I think too many women especially are just too agreeable. They won't play the right bluffs and they won't stick through with their bluffs to the end when the hand is shown even if they lose.

Think about it like this, would you be willing to swim on the swim team if someone made a rule that said "everyone has to eat a bowl of shit before they enter the pool?" That rule is stupid, you aren't going to argue with the person who made the rule because it's so stupid there's no argument to make besides "fuck no". If they insisted you'd walk.

Same logic here, what's the point of a women's swimming team if they allow men on it? Just walk. Join the co-ed team instead. Do whatever you want. But don't put up with the shit for no good reason.

Quitting wouldn't have achieved anything, the coach told them as much. They would just be replaced by women willing to swear loyalty to the star of the team. Good on them for standing their ground.

Even a strike won't work since the team will gladly say "fine, you're off the team and lose your scholarships."

The only thing that'll work is stooping to the snart's level: The women on the swimming team come right out and say "this person is getting their way if they threaten to kill herself? Fine. The entire team but her has made a suicide pact. If you don't kick her off the team every woman swimmer on the team will kill herself". Do so, the school is forced into either the trolley problem [acquiesce, the troon will kill herself. Do not, [n] other women will kill themselves] and/or flat out say "this troon's life is worth all these women's lives combined"...and the troon either sees her threat of suicide lose its power, or she has to escalate to "if you do this, I'll kill myself AND I'll do it by committing a mass shooting so I take other people with me!" that will make them the bad guy.
