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.

Just heartbreaking. He really should apologize, though.

"after losing her legal battle" Quit the CRAP Daily Mail. The guy is a male, born a male, and will always be a male. Stop obfuscating the obvious.

“Her?”

It’s the Daily Mail. They are incorrigible. I wonder if they will EVER give that crap up. At least they quoted Ms. Scanlan correctly calling him a him. I’m surprised they didn’t revise her quote.

Peaceful Muslims will push the gender psychos off tall buildings. Apologies will NOT be demanded NOR accepted. SPLAT.

As long as Thomas has “junk” down there, it isn’t a she. At least make a real effort to make “the change.”

The guy is a weak loser.

“junk” or not, sex is determined at conception with XY or XX chromosomes which are in every cell of your body; cutting off your “junk” only means you are a male without “junk.”

The courts are responsible for these wrongs..None of this transgender cr** should interfere with “fairness”. XX or XY...determines your sex...not a pronoun, your clothing, your manners. And your feelings?? You created them not us.

The school should apologize, they created the situation in the first place.

I would have preferred if Thomas’s teammates had complained a lot louder while he was making a mocker of women’s swimming, as opposed to now when they’ve got nothing to lose.

I agree with you. This Paula Scanlan has no business demanding an apology now. If that sh!t bothered her so much, she should have made her stand on the spot.

She tried and was threatened with losing her scholarship. She also was sexually assaulted as a teen.

Very easy for you to say, though, sitting on your couch criticizing others. Perhaps read her bio.

So she did attempt to protest. She learned tough lessons about how we live in such a liberal politically correct world, and so her actions didn’t cause any change at the time.

Maybe it's because Lia Thomas is 6'4" tall and has male body parts and lots of testosterone.

” she should have made her stand on the spot.”

At the least, snap him in his nuts with a towel.
