Female swimmer says trans athlete Lia Thomas causes ‘extreme discomfort in the locker room’

A female swimmer has reflected on the discomfort she and others experienced sharing a locker room with trans-identified athlete Lia Thomas and how God has given her the courage to speak up about the NCAA allowing a biological male to compete in this year's women's swimming championships. Riley Gaines, a former collegiate swimmer who just graduated from the University of Kentucky, elaborated on her experience in a lengthy interview on the Fox Nation program “Tucker Carlson Today.” Gaines first learned of University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas in November 2021, during her senior year of college, after seeing an article reporting that the biologically male athlete had swam 200 yards in 1 minute and 41 seconds.
