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.

NON BINARY yo, what the hell!
Exactly. Title IX has the girls by the gonads.
These women should stop competing, let the freak swim against himself. Then see how many people show up for the events, which would be close to zero.
The correct pronoun for William is IT. Not her.
You're "uncomfortable" seeing his genitals in the dressing room, but you're not at all uncomfortable about boycotting all the swimming races you're in with him...which would STOP this travesty.
You ladies don't want any discomfort AT ALL, do you !
There's all sorts of us out here in the real world that are putting up with any-and-every kind of "discomfort", more than YOU could ever dream of.....the severest of monetary problems, health problems and other disasters raining down on us from every front, courtesy of the Marxists in control of our government.
But you can't take some "discomfort".
No pain, no gain, you phony cry-babies. !
You get no sympathy from me at all with your "discomfort".

It’s not like they’ve never seen it before.
Don’t fight on behalf of women. It’s THEIR issue. Meh.

Stereotype much?!
Anyone with male genitals is NOT a woman.
What about Elaine Chao? She carries Mitch Turtle's genitals around in her purse.
Good post.
If the women won’t act, then the men should.
Cut off his junk and be done with it.
Imho.

When I took Abnormal Psychology classes, they taught that it is both cruel and dangerous to participate in someone’s delusions.
That’s not gross or anything. 🙄
Lorana Bobbit has a solution.
I’m tired of hearing Thomas referred to as she. HE is male, still has male parts and is biologically male. No amount of woke pronouns will change these facts. Thomas is a guy pulling a sick charade by posing not very convincingly as a female. I’m betting after winning a bunch of trophies he will decide he is male again.
Women don’t have male genitals. I’m sure hatred of the media is at an all time high.
I noticed one thing in the article. It referenced HIM as HER or SHE. HE is NOT a HER or SHE. He should always be referenced to as an he and he only.
This.🙄
Not that I’m gonna research it but there is a thing called the gay games which are sort of an ersatz olympics. The obvious outlet for such but they are making a bigger splash in the mainstream these days.
I don’t see much evidence he taking female hormones either. No breasts, etc..
So I think I see his strategy here. He could not make it as a male swimmer so he’s playing a game of being a female swimmer and is getting away with it.
My guess is to dominate women’s swimming and try for a berth on the next Olympics team. After that he will be a man again and will achieved his goals of being a champion swimmer but as a woman and make fools of women and women’s sports.
You read (and enjoyed) The Emperor’s New Clothes.
This is the sequel - The Swimmer’s New @#&*$.
Same basic story - just a bit more with the times.
