ESPN celebrated Women’s History Month by honoring transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.
William “Lia” Thomas was a mediocre swimmer who couldn’t win medals competing as a man. He decided he was transgender and suddenly, he’s a champion!
Thomas competed for two full seasons as a man before ‘transitioning’ into a female, shattering women’s swim records and becoming a champion in the women’s 500 freestyle at the NCAA swimming championships last year.
Former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines has been a brave voice in trying to stop men from erasing women in athletics.
“Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who earned a national title,” Gaines, an outspoken advocate for keeping biological men out of women’s sports. He is an arrogant cheat who stole a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman. The @ncaa is responsible. If I was a woman working at ESPN, I would walk out. You’re spineless @espn #boycottESPN.”
One still has the freedom of expression. Should never be affraid to use it!
