Lia Thomas is a man
yo thats a fulll on man
This guy is a fraud
Shame you need to compete with other confused people. I don't care that you're transgender. I care you're taking opportunities away from women. Maybe you can start a trans sport.
I see a 10000% dude over there. This guy is a total scam and cheater🤬
What's wrong with this man?
Mental
they got another trans person to interview this creature ahahah
So . . .if you can't make it in the men's sports, go transgender and compete against women, that way your bound to win. What a champ!
Three words. SHAME SHAME SHAME 😢😢😢😢😢
Will he ever start looking like a woman
"swimmer opens up about being the first man to act like stealing opportunities from hardworking woman is an accomplishment"
Shreck in a womans bathingsuit 😮!
This thing is not a woman
This creep has to go
It's so stupid. So we only care about this person being comfortable but he isn't making women very comfortable. Y'all should hear other women's testimony.
Its like if butthead and mark Zuckerberg had a theybie.
Youre a coward Willy.
Lia got shoulders like a linebacker. I stand at 6 ft but still dont sport shoulders like that. Why not just invent trans teams??? Just don't shove these notions down our throats. It should be specialized for those that wanna follow the leader on this. I dont see trans men trying to compete with men or cry over using our washrooms.
This is misogyny
He has some serious mental illness!
Lia is a joke 💯. I hated losing to men so let me pretend I'm a woman and get them trophies, f'ing pathetic!!
This is insane !!!!!
If you can't win in the men's division, compete in the women's division. Soon, there will be no more medals or scholarships for biological women in sports.
This is disgusting and I hope everyone of these people has the same fate as Jon Romano
Only in America. Dude, you should be ashamed of yourself. Same with NCAA officials who allowed you to compete with Women. Shame on you!
🤦♂️
Screw this guy
Shame on you Thomas you’re a disgrace, and a sexual predator.
Literally stole that championship from DESERVING women. Being on hormones for less than a year does NOT make u female!! This is ridiculous.
Men are men, women are women. Nothing changes that. There can ONLY be two…men are genetically built to be STRONGER. That is simple biology. A woman will never be a man. A man will never be a woman. End of story, stop castrating children.
And this is why espn is failing because they support this garbage.
Women working hard for nothing, and a shameless thief. It's ok if it's not a choice to be transgender, it's a choice not to CHEAT. I'm waiting for Tyson Fury to identify as a featherweight and dismantle boxers in this category for next 20 years. This idiotism will not stand long though.
