While I really enjoy living and dearly want to continue doing it, the state of the world is so abysmal that I'll be okay when it's time for me to move on. One thing that has me shaking my head in disbelief is the nomination of Lia Thomas, the male swimmer claiming to be female, for the 2022 NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Woman of the Year Award.
Even if the 22-year-old Thomas had somehow magically achieved such an impossible transformation -- ovaries, uterus and all -- he/she has lived as a woman for only one year of his/her life. Admit it -- anyone can swim but it takes more than a year to become a nurturing, intuitive, sensitive being who can walk in high heels, do her own nails, make a bed the right way, find all the things on a grocery list, write a timely thank-you note and correctly load a dishwasher so the blades don't break things that are too big to be on the bottom or too delicate to be in there at all, like those $35 wine glasses she got as a wedding gift.
Come on, Lia-- man up and admit you are not qualified.
