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.

They are receiving their reward.
Immoral poppycock
“‘Her male genitals’. A phrase I never thought I’d read.”
Exactly. If a person has male genitals, they cannot be a “her”. Why is that so difficult for some people to understand?
BIGOT Feminists!
The8r fwthers should get together and warn the maggot that since there is nothing they can do to stop him legally from co letting on women’s team, if he ever shows his genitals to girls in the locker room again that it will be a bad bad mistake.
You’re disrupting the narrative with reality!
I dont get that either. If you are going to make the trip from the men’s locker room to the ladies locker room...I think you need some “equipment” behind.
At least at that point, you can gauge their seriousness and “commitment” to the con.
Who wants to bet this guy writes a book in the next year explaining this was all a scam.
So what. Perhaps she's gay. Homophonic girls on that team obviously.
There is no Camel Toe, but there seems to be a Camel Tail in the front of that suit.
The NCAA should be banned for abuse of women.
The problem is that they won’t commit to do what is right, ie boycott. All the parents should boycott the events too. Let the school lose money on the event. Like you said, all it woild take is a few times, but even if it took a year or more, at least they would be fighting back for something that is far more valuable than a trophy- moral decency!
They would probably have to use a powerful macro lens. Any maggot that has to compete agaisnt women In order,to win can’t be very well endowed
This is exactly what I said, but my wife thought advocating violence was not the right approach.
I still say, this should happen everything this freak enters the locker room. If anyone asks: “...I thought ‘she’ was trying to rape me. So I fought him off and the other girls helped me”.
This fool would have been history after the 2nd outing. And if the lady swimmers’ BF’s were outside waiting, HE would not have lasted past the first meet.
my $0.02
If a female wrestles a male, she is “gutsy”.
If a male swims against females, he is bad.
If they don’t fight back, they DESERVE to be SCHLONGED.
There it is! With transgenderistas and most homosexuals, it's simply mental illness/emotional damage coupled with narcissism.
I blame the girls. They could stop this immediately. When it comes time to compete, let him jump in and swim and the girls just stand there and cheer him on without getting wet. Once or twice of that, the joke is over. But they all have to work as a team.
Gonna have to endure it, politically those gender-whatever’s are pretty high on the oppression list. MUCH higher than some genuinely-female college athletes.
[[The 35 of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one.’]]
Yes because in democrats minds, your feelings do not matter one iota. When they say equality and respect for others, they ONLY mean equality and respect for the truly perverted sexual deviants. They do not give a crap about anyone else@ feelings except to chastise thise who are offended and telling them they have no right to feel that way.
Liberalism is in league with the evil one. Truth becomes lies, and lies become truth. Moral deviance becomes moral, and moral excellency becomes unnaceptable
