Sharing a locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has become a point of contention for some of her University of Pennsylvania teammates, who feel uncomfortable changing in the private space with someone undergoing gender transition, the DailyMail.com can reveal.
'It's definitely awkward because Lia still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,' one swimmer on the team told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
Lia has told her teammates that she dates women.
While Lia covers herself with a towel sometimes, there’s a decent amount of nudity, the swimmer said. She and others have had a glimpse at her private parts.
She stated that team members have raised their concern with the coach, trying to get Thomas ousted from the female locker room, but got nowhere.
'Multiple swimmers have raised it, multiple different times,' the UPenn swimmer said. 'But we were basically told that we could not ostracize Lia by not having her in the locker room and that there's nothing we can do about it, that we basically have to roll over and accept it, or we cannot use our own locker room.'
'It's really upsetting because Lia doesn't seem to care how it makes anyone else feel,' the swimmer continued. 'The 35 of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one.'
She said UPenn's handling of the locker room issue is emblematic of the school's overall approach to the Lia Thomas controversy, with school bending over backwards to make Thomas feel welcome without seeming to care how it affects her teammates.

‘Her male genitals’. A phrase I never thought I’d read.
These women should not have to go through this.
Towel snapping stinger classes ensue
Ladies, kick him square in the nuts. Prove he’s a man!
I would feel like a man had intentionally exposed himself to me if I saw that.
Which is a crime in my state. Not sure where all the he/she/shim crap falls here though.
It’s not like they’ve never seen it before.
Don’t fight on behalf of women. It’s THEIR issue. Meh.
A formerly male transgender, should be on a transgender team, and not on a team designated as females.
But, the members of the female team, no matter what the sport, should all get together and refuse to compete with formerly male teammates. Do a strike against the idea of transgenders competing in female sports. That would leave the transgender males competing by themselves.
So where is Gloria Allred? Where are all of the women who were out for blood during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing?
All of you tell the coach you're not swimming anymore until he's gone.............
He’s flaunting the fact that he can do this and get away with it. William Thomas absolutely SUCKED as a male swimmer, so he decided to be a “Chick” in order to beat everyone..that is why he’s doing this..he’s a scum bag plain and simple and should be removed from the team, and get his ass kicked at the same time, maybe a few swirlies for funzies as well
Flashing his package, eh?
The actual girls in the room should class up, get an attorney, and take this a criminal prosecution route.
NOBODY should have to put up with this.
Oh, and prosecute employees of the university as accessories.
Then, when the criminal cases are over; take it to the civil side and sue the ever-loving bejeezus outta EVERYONE involved.
An oxymoron used by woketardians.
The NCAA is a criminal, corrupt organization. Screw ‘em...
I hope someone gets a pic of him erect. That would be gerat.
“... her male genitals...”
Which word does not belong and why?
And it's women who caused this.
Hostile work space comes to mind or how about sexual harassment? These young ladies need to stand up for themselves because it is obvious the establishment isn’t going to do it.
And don’t tell me what they will lose. If they don’t they will lose anyway.
Every female swimmer who is up against Thomas in a swimming event should refuse to compete. Let Thomas “win”, alone in the pool. After a few times that this happens, the idiots who run these events will have to change course.
