Spectator Screams at ‘Record-Setting’ Trans Swimmer

One spectator spoke out as 🏳️‍⚧️Transgender college swimmer Lia Thomas prepared to crush his female competitors during an 🏟️NCAA finals qualifier event on Thursday.

One man exclaimed “cheater” seconds before a 500Y race began, in a dig at the University of 🔔Pennsylvania swimmer.

Thomas smoked the second-place swimmer by three seconds, a margin considered a blowout victory in competitive swimming.

In a development suggesting sympathy with Thomas’s critic, the audience of parents and swimming fans didn’t cheer for Thomas when he finished. Instead, the audience cheered for the second and third-place finishers.

A second spectator directly accused Thomas of cheating as she left the room of the meet.

Thomas was set to compete in 🏟️NCAA finals Thursday night, potentially becoming the fastest ‘female’ college swimmer in the country to compete in the 500Y event.

Before his gender ‘transition,’ Will Thomas didn’t stand out or compete at high levels in men’s college swimming.

Now ranked #1 in women’s swimming, Thomas clocked in at a distant #462 as a male swimmer.

Thomas’s rise to the top of female collegiate swimming has led some to question the future of women’s 🏆Sports entirely, with a new wave of biologically male 🏳️‍⚧️Transgender athletes increasingly dominating.

One of Thomas’s teammates has indicated that his presence in the women’s locker room of Penn’s swimming team makes the female swimmers uncomfortable.
