Lying To Lia Thomas

In Lia Thomas's victory, transgenderism reaches its logical and inevitable conclusion.

Among the best episodes of the original Twilight Zone series is Rod Serling’s adaptation of Jerome Bixby’s It’s A Good Life, a 1953 short story about a small town held captive by a magical and murderous child. The Twilight Zone adaptation of the same name follows residents of an Ohio backwater who live in perpetual fear of Anthony Fremont—a capricious six-year-old with telepathic and telekinetic powers. When the townsfolk think bad thoughts or utter idle words in Anthony’s presence, the child strikes them mute. When he’s really angry, he banishes them to a nearby cornfield where they meet their demise.

“That’s why everyone smiles around Anthony,” his father says in a voiceover narration. “Because you can’t take the risk of making the little boy angry. You just can’t take that risk.”

Everyone knew what Anthony was. But they had to lie. Otherwise, they would end up like Hollis. Silent acquiescence was not an option, either. Throughout the episode, each of the neighbors had to vocally affirm that Anthony was good—very good—in spite of his manifestly evil behavior.

And so must we strain to avoid noticing the obvious about Lia Thomas, the hulking six-footer who began his college career as the nation’s 554th-ranked male swimmer in the 200-meter freestyle and finished that career last Thursday as the women’s 500-meter freestyle champion. As he stood on the podium at the NCAA Championship hoisting the first-place trophy, the second- through fourth-place finishers huddled on the far right block, leaving an empty space between themselves and their broad-shouldered, square-jawed, obviously still-endowed competitor.

The race was a farce. Everyone seemed to know it. But almost no one objected to the lie at the heart of Thomas’s victory. Even Fox News used the feminine pronouns in their write-up of the event. Like Anthony’s neighbors, they slavishly affirmed what they knew to be untrue.

In his journey from middling male swimmer to women’s national champion, no one in a position to do so told William Thomas, with all due compassion and respect, that a man cannot change his sex. If someone had, Thomas might have been spared years of disfiguring hormone treatments. Instead, the people in power lied to him.

That applies not just to transgenderism, but to the whole panoply of leftist social engineering.  It's all false, and anyone who points that out is "cancelled" - banished to the nether realms as assuredly as if they had been banished to a cornfield to meet their demise.

That is what fascists do.
