ANOTHER WOKE CAPTURED ICONIC ORGANIZATION FORCED TO STAND DOWN ….IT PAYS TO MAKE NOISE !

The counter-revolution won another battle! Earlier this month, Essential Sports ran a story headlined, “International Outcry: Guinness Reverses Decision on Lia Thomas’ World Records.”

Complaints began in earnest after the Guinness Book of World Records recognized biological male Lia Thomas as the world record-holder in eleven separate women’s swimming categories. So last month, yielding to pressure, Guinness World Records declared that all records of Lia Thomas mentioned would have an asterisk.

But that wasn’t nearly good enough. The outraged pushback increased.

Guinness has already included all Thomas’s “records” in its 2023 edition, but this month assured readers that 2023 will be the only edition with Lia records. The next edition will not mention Lia Thomas, and the records will stand with the correct female holders. Out of the eleven records, Olympic silver medalist Emma Weyant will receive six of them and Riley Gaines will get the remaining five. (The 2024 edition will include an explanation for the discrepancy from the previous version.)

“Rather than add an asterisk, Guinness will vacate the record and give it, by default, to the next in line,” said Guinness Editor-in-Chief Joe Barron. “We regret that there had to be any discussion on the matter and look forward to putting it behind us.”

If only we could put this entire trans travesty behind us. But we’ll get there.
