And the nonsense continues!
Over the weekend in late April, “Ana” Caldas was pure domination in the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championships, which took place in San Antonio, Texas. Caldas participated in the 45-49 age category in the women’s division, doing so for 02 Performance Aquatics and winning five individual events, per Reduxx.
But here’s the problem: Caldas is a transgender athlete. The events that Caldas was victorious in were the 50- and 100-yard freestyle, the 100-yard individual medley and the 50- and 100-yard breaststroke.

None of this is shocking, though, when you find out the language that’s featured on U.S. Masters Swimming’s website, having a page that’s dedicated to “Diversity & Inclusion.”
“The Diversity and Inclusion Committee began in 2017 to further develop a culture of inclusion and opportunity in USMS for people of diverse backgrounds by developing resources and engaging coaches and volunteers. Its members have a passion for and experience in creating an inclusive culture and encouraging diversity in their lives.”

This is actually quite fascinating to me that this took place in Texas, especially with the state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, just recently launching an investigation into USA Fencing for their transgender tomfoolery.
Oh yeah, I’ve got my popcorn ready for this one.
