Will “Lia” Thomas, the biological male who swam on the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s swim team this past school year, has lost his bid to become the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year.
Each eligible school could submit the names of up to two female student-athletes for consideration before the selection committee chose 10 athletes from each division to determine the top 30 honorees. The NCAA selected Columbia University fencer Sylvie Binder to advance to the next round as the Ivy League conference winner.
Thomas made headlines for crushing his competition in NCAA women’s swimming, sparking widespread outrage. After years of being a mediocre swimmer on the men’s team, Thomas identified as transgender, transitioned, and then started breaking records against his female teammates and tournament competitors. Despite the controversy sparked by his competition against real women, the University of Pennsylvania nominated him for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year Award, giving Thomas one final opportunity to rob a real woman of an accolade.
The decision to nominate Thomas after he spent the entire school year competing against real women despite his physical and biological advantages was widely panned.
“After a season of dumping on its female swimmers, forcing them to compete against a biological man who now says he is a woman, forcing them to share a locker room with said swimmer, dismissing their and their parents’ concerns summarily at every turn, even telling the female swimmers what they needed if they objected to the trans swimmer was therapy, the university now sticks a final thumb in the woman’s eyes, nominating this trans swimmer who goes by the name Lia Thomas as the University of Pennsylvania’s NCAA ‘Woman of the Year.'” Megyn Kelly said on her podcast. “Lia Thomas is not a woman.”

Imagine a Caucasian identifying as black and then winning the black ‘whatever the competition ’ of the year.
Aw, I was rooting for him to win.
There always AKC next year - he still has time to announce he identifies as a dachshund.
If I think I am a giraffe, it does not make me a giraffe.
If William Thomas thinks he is a woman, it does not make him a woman (even if he changes his name to Lia).
There is some serious mental illness going on here, and it is not just Lia Thomas who needs help.
It could happen. Rachel Dolezal is still around.
RiiiiiiiiGHT!
I really wonder if anyone has researched the social media use of these people before thinking they are trans.
With how China manipulates Tik Tok I would not put it past them to groom and brainwash people. Is that a huge conspiracy theory?
GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD!
Thanks for posting this update about this cheater and the garbage people who are enabling him.
Zero females should apply to Penn next year. Wouldn’t that be a kick in their head?
When is the he/she going to start throwing a tantrum?
Was it the penis? Because I don’t think a penis should hold a woman back from her dreams.
Hooray!
“Imagine a Caucasian identifying as black and then winning the black ‘whatever the competition ’ of the year”.
I like your thinking. I’d pay to see it happen.
He/she/it should sue. After all, it’s obviously mental illness “phobia” that prevented a man who pretends it’s a woman from being recognized as a woman (with a tallywacker).
It's sexist I tell you, sexist!
Why it's as if the powers that be are only considering women to be "Woman of the Year."
This is so unfair to the men.
He’s a loser. He can’t compete and win in the men’s races so he ‘comes out’. Nothing but a loser and now he’s a loser in ncaa. ha LUUUUUUSER
But what about Disney and ESPN? They could still name him woman of the year or female athlete of the year.
Glad he lost.
That’s not very woke.
