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.

i think i see what you did there...
but after swimming there is always shrinkage.
Still got the parts.....no formerly about it.
At least the female wrestler was not pretending to be male and she never used his locker room with him!!!
In the olden days a group of dads would have taken this MAN pretending to be a woman, out behind the gym and turned him into a eunuch without pain killers.
When will women realize that the left is trying to make them irrelevant and to disappear?
You don’t need to be an actual woman, to play women’s sports.
You don’t need to be an actual woman to be a wife or a mother.
You don’t need to be an actual woman to be “Woman of the Year”.
You don’t have to be an actual woman to be the first female, US four star admiral in health service.
You don’t need to be female to be a woman.
Of course, this is all, completely, illogical and irrational and any reasonable person knows that it’s 1984 🐃 💩
But, of course, if you point it out, you will be relentlessly attacked.
They first separated motherhood from womanhood through abortion.
Now this.
Women are the ones that have to stand up to this insanity and say NO!
No, they should not and for the same reason we have male and female restrooms/locker rooms in the first place.
Walk out, ladies. You’re putting up with this.
Go study and tell scholarship people you signed up to compete against girls. And get a good lawyer.
Out.
This nonsense will continue as long as female athletes continue to play along with it. Why are they allowing a male in their locker room? They can put a stop to this. They have to refuse to participate in contests that allow biological males to compete against them. Just saying , “we’re uncomfortable” just doesn’t cut it.
The women swimmers should sue the school, the coach and the male swimmer for creating a hostile workplace. Nobody should have to be subject to the view of a serial flasher.
So sports is just about the locker room.
The silence from the feminists is deafening.
The pain from this kind of stupid is unbearable, please make it stop !
“A formerly male transgender, should be on a transgender team,
...good point. They can call it The Freak Meet
Agreed!
Schools should pass a law stating “absolutely no male appendages allowed in women’s locker rooms, end of story”
Now that's severe cognitive dissonance.
Seems to be one of those male lesbians.
