But we were basically told that we could not ostracize Lia by not having her in the locker room and that there\u2019s nothing we can do about it, that we basically have to roll over and accept it, or we cannot use our own locker room. \u2026 It\u2019s really upsetting because Lia doesn\u2019t seem to care how it makes anyone else feel. The 35 of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The school was so focused on making sure Lia was okay, and doing everything they possibly could do for her, that they didn\u2019t even think about the rest of us. It just seems like the women who built this program and the people who were here before Lia don\u2019t matter. And it\u2019s frustrating because Lia doesn\u2019t really seem to be bothered by all the attention, not at all. Actually she seems like she enjoys it. It\u2019s affected all of us way more than it\u2019s affected her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The teammate told The Daily Mail she had discussed with her teammates possibly launching a protest at a swim meet, but the consensus was they would be putting themselves at risk. She stated, \u201cWe\u2019ve all tried to think of anything we could do, but I just don\u2019t know what we could do that wouldn\u2019t basically have us not be swimming. We already lost a year due to covid and people don\u2019t want to put their own swim careers on hold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last Saturday, after Lia Thomas won two more events against female swimmers on Saturday, one teammate who preferred to remain anonymous spoke out, saying, \u201cWomen are now third-class citizens.\u201d Thomas won the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle races in the meet against Harvard University.<\/p>\n<p>The anonymous teammate told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/women-are-now-third-class-citizens-says-penn-swimmer-in-exclusive-interview\">The Washington Examiner<\/a>, \u201cLia was not even close to being competitive as a man in the 50 and the 100. But just because Lia is biologically a man, [Lia] is just naturally better than many females in the 50 and the 100 or anything that [Lia] wasn\u2019t good at as a man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On January 8, Thomas swam a race in which Thomas\u2019 time was suspiciously slower than previous times, permitting Iszac Henig, a Yale swimmer who is biologically female but identifies as male, to win.<\/p>\n<p>That prompted a young woman who is on Penn\u2019s swim team with Thomas to surmise in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/penn-swimmer-alleges-lia-thomas-colluded-with-fellow-transgender-swimmer-before-race\/\">Outkick<\/a>&nbsp;that Thomas and Henig had colluded before the race in order for Henig to win and thus disprove the assumption that Thomas, as a biological male, could not be beaten by a biological female competitor.<\/p>\n<p>In early December, Thomas utterly crushed the women competing with Thomas at the University of Akron\u2019s Zippy Invitational, winning the 1650 free by a gargantuan 38 seconds ahead of the young woman finishing second, winning the 500 free by a whopping twelve seconds ahead of the woman finishing second, and winning the 200 free by a still-huge seven seconds, setting new Penn records along with meet and pool records.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just to show you how absurd this is. Here\u2019s the trans swimmer \u201cLia\u201d Thomas crushing all of the female competitors by 40 seconds. This is what that looks like in real time. A total farce. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kAi9GgF5sj\">pic.twitter.com\/kAi9GgF5sj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog\/status\/1470978594256130050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
