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.”
From liberals, we can expect the dumbest of statements.
Good post, and yrp that is exactly what they are doing- canceling women.
Hey womens, how’d that whole feminism movement turn out for ya? The fruit of your efforts has result3d in the left cancelling you all
(Which is funny, because feminists tried canceling men, implying they weren’t needed or wanted, and now the women are the ones who get what they dished out, and by their own party too lol)
yeah- that’s what I was thinking too. Problem is, they might be throwing away hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to do this. AND all the years of work they put in leading up to their college career.
Maybe they should do a blanket party like in Full Metal Jacket, but use a castrating knife instead of socks full of soap.
If Thomas has the male genitalia and male hormones, he’s still a man. How stupid of the NCAA to capitulate and let this psycho compete as a woman.
It is the responsibility of Men to deal with men. The Men of America must rise up in absolute rejection of this nonsense. Opposition must be Direct. This evil must be confronted and stopped. Period.
In today’s world, I’m not sure they would win, or a judge allow a win...
I suspect most if not all the women are on athletic scholarships and have been told that speaking out and any type of protest would threaten their scholarship. It leaves the women in a terrible position - conform or you (or more likely your parents) pay your way through school.
I’ll loan them my extra pair of hedge clippers to remedy this small problem.
That is for females (real females) to abstain from all further competition until those who write and enforce the rules governing women's sports admit and acknowledge that women's sports are intended for women and that if you have a penis you have no business competing.
I concede that this will never happen because America has lost its way.
Glad you said that.
I was just about to mention that.
“Her male genitals”
Illogical, self-contradictory statement. Equivalent to “a square circle.”
Male and female are mutually exclusive.
If they can get you to believe two contradictory statements at the same time, they can get you to believe, and to DO, anything.
Same as “2 + 2 = 5” in 1984.
Cognitive dissonance: when beliefs and actions are in conflict. One of the two needs to change, or the person is uneasy. What the left hopes to do is trigger the dissonance between what is observed (Lia is male) and what is believed (a man stops being a man when he declares that he is a woman.) By intimidation, harassment and cancelation, the left hopes to force us to disregard what we observe and solely accept the new belief system they desperately want us to adopt.
Dude is making a mockery of LEFT wing radical wokeness. Love it.....I cheer him on. They all deserve this freak.
This freak is clearly as much a publicity whore as is Jusse Smollett ... but at least Smollett is an equal-opportunity abuser ... this freak just thoroughly enjoys abusing women ... something he’ll never, ever be.
But Biden is promising loan forgiveness. (But Of course it will be denied to anyone that doesn’t support his woke agenda)
We’re I the father of one of those girls, the coach would need facial reconstruction surgery.
Please do not consider this a personal attack but I really believe you should keep such thoughts to yourself. It is the sort of comment that the left lick their chops for and, if publicized, could bring terrible publicity to FR.
still attracted to women and has his pecker on display.
I hope someone made this up, otherwise this is bullshit.
Those girls should not have to look at that.
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.
EXACTLY. He's a sex offender and the school administrating is facilitating his crimes.
And yet they allow DEMselves to! Why don’t they quit or just refuse to race the freak????
I guess those gals are just a bunch of P......
