Did you not read the comment i replied to?

Are trans women keeping her from winning competitions? Last I heard they aren't dominating anything.

Nice strawman. I'm not sure what the best solution is, but burying our heads in the sand isn't it.

Lia had a very close win in a meet where she mostly placed in the middle of the pack. She wasn't dominating the meet. Using her well deserved win as an example of "dominating women's sports" is at the very least extremely disingenuous and amounts to exactly what I identified as the thrust of the example for your argument.
