Trans swimmer Lia Thomas ignites fury after vowing to 'fight' Donald Trump ban

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has sparked outrage after vowing to 'keep fighting' for inclusion in women's sports despite Donald Trump's ban.

Trump signed an executive order banning trans athletes from women's sports back in February, with the president using Title IX to ensure only biological females are allowed to compete.

Thomas, a biological male, was at the center of major contention in 2022 after winning a national swimming title for UPenn in 2022, with former opponent Riley Gaines currently leading a lawsuit against the NCAA for a number of athletes who were forced to compete against them.

Yet despite Trump's ruling, the controversial swimmer has promised to 'fight' to overturn it and bring trans athletes back into women's sports.

'I am going to keep fighting as much as I am able to,' Thomas said over Zoom at the HiTOPS trans youth forum, via Outkick.

'In order to fight the battles we need to fight, we have to stick together and support each other.'

Instead of Trump of his fellow politicians, Thomas believes trans athletes themselves should have the final say.

'It has to be the athletes deciding for themselves where they feel most affirmed and most comfortable,' she continued. 'Having routes that are safe and non-discriminatory, that allow them access to that.'

He swings his elephant around in a women's locker room again and women are likely to do a Lorena Bobbit on him.

Lia Thomas receives support, command, control, finance, and legal services, from who? Follow (his) money.

I doubt there’s anything elephant like about it.

The GOP should fund this freak to go out and “fight” with maximum publicity.

LOL. I’ve heard stories that he is not very discreet in the locker room.

So he’s saying it’s up to the athletes themselves to decide what team to compete on.

And that really makes you wonder, why do we have separate women’s sports in the first place?

What about other sports qualifications? For example, should we allow adults on children’s T ball teams? ALLOW adults to play little league baseball? If the criteria are that athletes themselves have to make a decision where to compete, you really open up other possibilities that have nothing to do with transgender issues.

Even if he wins the US title, he still cannot represent the US because of the international federation rules forbid him to participate in international events like the Olympics.

Will Thomas should just man up, and compete against males like he used to do…and come in at the bottom of the rankings. Stupid jerk.

Like you are asking, what about age groups? What if a 16 year old feels most comfortable and affirmed in the ages 10-12 age group? Should we just let all “athletes” pick the various classifications for the sport competitions? How about, NO?

Well said. His attitude really calls into question having any qualification standards at all.

'It has to be the athletes deciding for themselves where they feel most affirmed and most comfortable,' she continued.

Only for the tranny bullies.

The rest of the girls and women don't count.

That Old Serpent 🐍 called the Devil and Satan is doing an excellent job destroying society with this madness - hard to believe that there are actually people defending this stuff

It's only a matter of when, not if, this nutter goes on a shooting spree. When you're that divorced from reality it's inevitable. These creeps belong in a padded room.
