Lia Thomas Says Her Critics Using 'Feminism' Claims To Hide Transphobia.
She compared the situation to sports like boxing and rowing -- which have weight classes -- telling the guys,"Sports is about fairness and rules, and it's about categories.""Categories have opened up opportunities," the two-time Olympic gold medalist and women's rights activist said."Let's acknowledge that the world of sport has bent over backwards to try to accommodate everybody, but in line with fairness and opportunity.
"They're like, 'We respect Lia as a woman, as a trans woman, whatever, we respect her identity, we just don't think it's fair,'" the former collegiate swimmer said on the"Dear Schuyler" podcast."You can't really have that sort of half support, where you're like, 'Oh, I respect her as a woman here, but not here.' They're using the guise of feminism to sort of push transphobic beliefs.
The issue became such a big deal, it sparked legislators to introduce bills in parts of the country to place restrictions on transgender athletes.and even some of Thomas' ex-teammates at UPenn -- have called themselves feminists who are trying to fight to protect women's sports.
