That’s why I also thought that Lia Thomas was also trolling. I still expect him to come out and say it was all a big joke, and he wanted to see how far he could take it......pretty damn far, actually.

Same here. I think I've posted as much.

He might've actually taken it too far though. His collegiate swimming career is finished so if there's a time to come out and say, "Just kidding", it's now.

I wonder if he’s busy writing the book, and will reveal it at the same time as the book.

As you stated, Lia has already taken it too far, if this is just a joke to show irony.
It’s too late, mainly because several young girls have lost the chance to be considered for certain highly valued scholarships they probably would have won, had they been competing against another bio female. Damages have already been done to their intended careers.
