Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas' former team-mate demands an apology for being 'forced to undress with him 18 times a week'... after American lost legal battle to compete in women's events at the Olympics
Daily Mail ^ | 6/14/24 | Charlotte Daly

Paula Scanlan has welcomed the news that her former team-mate Lia Thomas will not be allowed compete at the Olympic Games and claims she should receive an apology for being 'forced to undress' with the transgender athlete '18 times a week'.

It was announced on Wednesday afternoon that the 25-year-old swimmer would not be permitted compete in the Olympic Games after losing her legal battle to have the rules barring her potential involvement overturned.

Scanlan took to social media shortly after verdict was revealed to demand an apology, writing the following on Twitter (X): 'Okay, but is anyone going to apologize for forcing us to undress with him 18 times a week?'.

Thomas first caught the headlines in March 2022 when she became the first trans-athlete to win the women's NCAA college swimming title - the USA's most prestigious college title.

But, it wasn't long before the World Aquatics (WA) introduced a rule change that would prevent anyone who had undergone 'any part of male puberty' from competing in the female category.

Instead, they created an 'open' category for which transgender athletes would be eligible. However, the decision didn't sit well with Thomas - who asked for the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn the rules approved in 2022.

I agree. Sadly, it’s a fact: That she undressed in front of this mentally ill, delusional man/cheater “18 times a week” is what she decided to do ... he reasons for doing so are her own. (Harsh? Yeah, I guess ... but I just can’t muster up a lot of sympathy here. In the end, she made that choice.)

She’s done more for fighting this nonsense than anyone criticizing her actions here on FR.

Oh really? What have you done to fight the tyranny of the Biden administration other than post on FR from your couch? You’d have cowered if you were even talented enough at anything to be in her position.

It’s easy to type you’d be some hero when you’ve never had to be one. She gets death threats from crazy Leftists and you post here anonymously, “Alberta’s Child.”

I doubt he will, he’s a selfish self absorbed punk without an ounce of integrity who knew damn well he had a massive advantage over women, and rather than do the right thing and not compete, he chose to compete and win all the races and break all the records. If an adult competed with children would everyone be OK with that if the adult identified as a child? It’s insanity.

The whole team should have quit. The pervs depend on acquiescence. Whenever they meet determined opposition, they fold. Learn the lesson or continue dealing with this garbage.

But they didn't; and you guys are piling on to the one or two who actually tried to stand up.

1. So she decided that her scholarship was more important than her dignity. It's a little late for her to try to regain something after selling out for it already.

2. The University of Pennsylvania was a leftist dump before she got there. Apparently that never bothered her until she had to deal with it up close.

3. The fact that she was sexually assaulted as a teen has nothing to do with this. If anything, I'd think it would have made her more adamant about refusing to cave in to the lunacy at her school.

She chose money over her dignity.

Exactly. And this captures the idiocy of modern feminism in a nutshell.

"We demand equality ... but don't force us to make hard decisions when it comes time to take a stand."

That's the #METOO movement in a nutshell.

Sell yourself to get a start in the movie business ... then complain about it 20+ years later when you're too old and/or ugly to get those movie roles anymore.

How many people here on FR even care enough about women's sports to fight this nonsense? LOL.

You have no idea what the hell I've done to fight "the tyranny of the Biden administration" -- or any other tyranny, for that matter.

Forget about the Biden administration. One of the most pathetic, disgraceful experiences of my adult life was the incessant scolding I got back in the spring of 2020 right here on this website when I refused to shut down my business and hide under my bed during the Branch Covidian hysteria.

I’d have turned it around. Made him watch all of them buck nekked over and over again and see if it rose to the occasion then beat his ass when it did.
