Lia Thomas EXPOSED: Social media RED FLAGS!



In 2023, if you are a young, teenage, female athlete and you do not feel comfortable undressing in front of a naked, biological, intact male — you might just qualify for re-education training at your university.

Seriously.

The women on the University of Pennsylvania swim team were subjected to this exact treatment. When they voiced their concerns about undressing in the presence of Lia Thomas — a six-foot-four biological male, fully intact with male genitalia — they were told that Lia’s swimming and usage of the locker room were non-negotiable.

The girls were offered psychological services in an attempt to re-educate them to become comfortable with the idea of undressing in front of a male.

Lauren Chen plays the girls' testimony and is deeply disturbed.

“As a woman myself, a real one, I had chills down my spine the first time I heard that,” Chen says.

While Chen is disgusted that there are men trying to force this on young women, she thinks those who really need to hear just how terrible what they’re doing is are “compassionate liberals.”

“Well, to those people in the audience, the people who think that they are being compassionate siding with the male who is exposing himself to all these scared females, well, there is a concept that I want to talk about today called autogynephilia,” Chen says.

PubMed defines autogynephilia as “a male’s propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. It is the paraphilia that is theorized to underlie transvestism and some forms of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism.”

“It’s not just about fetishizing women in the locker room, it’s actually about fetishizing yourself as a woman in the locker room,” Chen says.

Chen notes that Lia’s social media activity shows that this is likely what is going on in this situation.

Lia’s private Instagram account, which is separate from his public one, has repeatedly engaged with posts about autogynephilia.

One of the posts shows a cartoon of an obviously aroused trans man looking at himself in the mirror, and some of the posts have been shared by Lia’s alleged romantic partner, who is also a trans woman.

Lia’s partner’s account features photos in bikinis that feature a bulge, posing in bondage gear, and satanic imagery that Lia has also “liked.”

“It’s okay to be compassionate and to have a bleeding heart, but when it comes to situations like this — my request, my hope is that you turn the compassion from the biological male,” Chen says, continuing, “and you give it to the women who are being forced to change as much as 18 times per week in front of biologically intact males.”

Lia Thomas calls his female critics 'fake feminists' in conversation comparing treatment of men in women's sports with historic mistreatment of black people



Lia Thomas suggested on a recent podcast that women whose support for so-called "trans women" is conditional are "fake feminists" and cast his critics as bigots. He further stressed that real feminists should be interested in breaking down "patriarchal ideals of what a woman is," especially if those ideals link womanhood to biology.

Schuyler Bailar, the transvestite athlete who hosted the podcast on which Thomas appeared, raised the matter of a February 2022 letter written by Olympic champion Nancy Hogshead-Makar to the University of Pennsylvania and the Ivy League on behalf of 16 members of the school's female swim team.

The letter asked that the school not challenge the NCAA's new transgender athlete participation policies, as they would exclude men who experienced puberty, such as Lia Thomas, from competing against women in the March NCAA championships, reported CNN.

"We fully support Lia Thomas in her decision to affirm her gender identity and to transition from a man to a woman. Lia has every right to live her life authentically," said the letter.

It went on to say, "However, we also recognize that when it comes to sports competition, that the biology of sex is a separate issue from someone’s gender identity. Biologically, Lia holds an unfair advantage over competition in the women’s category, as evidenced by her rankings that have bounced from #462 as a male to #1 as a female."

Thomas spoke on "Dear Schuyler" to the letter, saying it is "frustrating in the regard that they're like, 'oh we respect Lia as a woman, as a trans woman, whatever, we respect her identity, we just don't think it's fair.' And I think you can't really have that sort of half support where you're like 'oh, I respect you as a woman here but not here.'"

"You can't do that, you can't sort of break down me as a person into little pieces," added the former male athlete.

Bailar noted that the fight to protect women's sports has become a big movement, executed "under the guise of feminism. Oh, we're just feminists. We're just fighting for women."

Thomas agreed, later saying, "They're using the guise of feminism to sort of push transphobic beliefs. I think a lot of people in that camp sort of carry an implicit bias against trans people, but don’t want to, I guess, fully manifest or speak that out. And so they try to just play it off as this sort of half-support."

After arguing that feminists who sought to keep men out of women's sports were ideologically incoherent, Bailar likened the corresponding claim of seeking fairness on the basis of sex to the ambivalence of racists about black women competing in sports.

"Please tell me why are all these women, you know, in tears? Why are they crying? What is the pain that trans women are causing them? And the answer was something about opportunities being taken away," said Bailar, adding, "It was the same exact arguments that came up when black women began to be in sports. ... You don't want a woman who doesn't look like you, perhaps, or who is fitting your version of womanhood to win."

Thomas, having ostensibly agreed with Bailar's remarks, suggested that "transphobia in sports" should be contextualized more broadly in "patriarchal ideals of what a woman is and who can be a woman."

The Independent Council on Women’s Sports responded to the podcast, tweeting, "We agree with Lia Thomas on one thing: 'You can't really have that sort of half-support.' We do not in ANY way support the injustice of male participation in women's sports. We are all in for female athletes. Not half. ALL in."

\u201cWe agree with Lia Thomas on one thing:\n\u201cYou can\u2019t really have that sort of half-support\u201d\n\nWe do not in ANY way support the injustice of male participation in women\u2019s sports. We are all in for female athletes. Not half. ALL in.\u201d

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) wrote, "There is nothing anti-feminist about saying that Lia Thomas, a man, should not be participating in sports with women. Feminists, and all women, should be outraged that a MAN has the nerve to tell them how they should feel about him invading their spaces and sports competitions."

"What a joke," wrote Piers Morgan. "There's nothing more 'anti-feminist' than trans athletes like Lia Thomas using the massive advantages of their male biology to beat women at sport."

TheBlaze previously reported Thomas was a middling performer on the University of Pennsylvania men's swimming team until he starting taking hormones in 2019 and competing against women.

He went onto crush records set by females in the 500-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA championships and tie with All-American all-female swim star Riley Gaines for fifth last April in the women's 200-meter. According to Gaines, it was around that time Thomas exposed his male genitalia in a women's locker room.

UPenn swimmers wanted to boycott final meet over transgender teammate but were 'afraid to be perceived as transphobic': Report



Lia Thomas – a biologically male swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania – has been obliterating female competitors while competing as a transgender athlete. The conundrum of Thomas benefiting from a biological advantage over female competitors pushed UPenn swimmers to consider boycotting the team's final home meet. However, the Ivy League swimmers ultimately decided against boycotting the swim meet because they were afraid of repercussions for being "perceived as transphobic."

Thomas, 22, competed as a male for three years at the University of Pennsylvania before undergoing a year of testosterone suppression treatment and becoming a transgender athlete to compete against women. This year, Thomas has smashed multiple UPenn and Ivy League women's records while competing as a female. During the 1,650-yard freestyle race at the Zippy Invitational Event in Akron, Ohio, Thomas blew away the second-place finisher by a whopping 38 seconds.

After Thomas continued to destroy female swimmers, tensions began to surface. An anonymous UPenn swimmer voiced her concerns over her transgender teammate.

"Pretty much everyone individually has spoken to our coaches about not liking this," the swimmer told Outkick. "Our coach [Mike Schnur] just really likes winning. He’s like most coaches. I think secretly everyone just knows it’s the wrong thing to do."

A second anonymous member of the UPenn swim team explained how competing against a biological male is demoralizing and unfair.

"They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose," she told Outkick.

Thomas allegedly bragged about being the best female swimmer in the country.

"Well, obviously she’s No. 1 in the country because she’s at a clear physical advantage after having gone through male puberty and getting to train with testosterone for years," the swimmer said of Thomas. "Of course you’re No. 1 in the country when you’re beating a bunch of females. That’s not something to brag about."

Teammates allegedly became so frustrated over the situation that they considered boycotting the team's last home meet.

A source close to the team of 41 women told the Daily Mail, "They've been ignored by both Penn and the NCAA, and there is a feeling among some of the girls that they should make some sort of statement, seize the opportunity while they have a spotlight on them to make their feelings about the issue known."

However, the swimmers likely won't participate in a boycott at the Jan. 8 meet against Dartmouth in fear of consequences.

"Knowing they do not have backing from the school or NCAA, they're reluctant to jeopardize their opportunity to make the elite Ivy League squad," the source told the outlet.

Some of the swimmers have purportedly considered other types of protests such as a "false start."

A parent of one of the swimmers added, "It's possible the swimmers may end up doing nothing because they are so afraid to be perceived as transphobic."

"If it were me, I'd step up with a sign on my chest stating something like - 'NCAA - Speak up. We need answers,'" one parent told the Daily Mail.

On his first day as president, Joe Biden signed the "Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation." The executive order declared that any school that receives federal funding must allow biological males who identify as females to compete in girls' sports teams. Schools that don't fall in line face possible administrative action from the Education Department, which includes the loss of federal funding.
