UPenn Swimmer’s Father: Penn Told Female Swimmers To ‘Get Over’ Lia Thomas Using Locker Room

The father of a female swimmer on the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s swim team said in an interview this week that the school breached trust and failed to protect his daughter by allowing biological male swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas to compete on the women’s team this season and share a locker room with the team.

The father made the remarks in an interview with The Washington Examiner on the condition of anonymity.

“I can’t say she’s been traumatized, but there was definitely a breach of trust and a failure on the part of Penn to protect her,” the father told The Examiner.

“In the fall of 2019, when Lia first came out, the girls were told she would have her own separate space somewhere,” the father said regarding Thomas sharing the locker room with female swimmers. “For some reason, that obviously changed. I’m not sure why it changed. Was it money? Was it legal threats?”

As Matt covered earlier this year, members of the UPenn women’s swim team felt uncomfortable sharing the locker room with Thomas. An anonymous swimmer told Daily Mail that Thomas “still has male body parts and is still attracted to women.” The swimmer added that other members of the team spoke to the team’s coaches about the issue, but the discussions did not go anywhere.

Well, the teammates could always protest by not participating. Or would scholarships be in trouble. So, what's more important? Maybe there's a future for the entity in question down at 'dizzknee'. They're always looking for new diverse positions. Maybe even a new tv show of the trials and tribulations of swimming with a rudder instead of udders.

The people who fussed the loudest against the Penn State (not UPenn, but same state) Sandusky pedo scandal are now the loudest in support of sexually abusing the weak.

So it came out in 2019 and still has his penis and from little I can tell doesn’t seem to be on female hormones much at all. And I read he/she admits still dating a woman and I presume having sex with her. So how does that make this person a Trans anything or a woman.

All you have to do is “identify” as one.

The University of Pennsylvania is a disgrace for allowing Lia Thomas to destroy their decorum. If he wants to play his silly little game, let him, but make him keep it to himself. Come on U of P Administration, get some guts and stop this nonsense!

No respect nor sympathy for the "strong, independent women" who didn't simply walk away from the team, and still won't.

The school authorized a man to not just walk around in their locker room, but to walk around naked. He should be arrested as a sex offender except he pretends to be a woman.

Why not invite naked men to walk around on campus, including in the Dean's office?

The problem is, that the U of Penn administrators are liberals.

Liberals are all in on all this transsexual business. So their liberalism prevents them from any critical thought regarding this issue of transsexual athletes competing against actual female athletes. Their view that a transsexual man who identifies as a woman, is to be considered a woman in every area of life, overrides any critical thinking or judgement on the issue.

Maybe - just maybe - this episode will cause these young women and maybe even their moms to question woke ideology, which would barely exist without the support and backing of white liberal women.

Future female competitions should be “Invitational” only.
