Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines reacts to Lia Thomas' latest podcast appearance and responds to an alleged locker room incident between a transgender student and freshman girls.
"What Thomas is doing in this podcast is simply gaslighting people into feeling like they're wrong for feeling uncomfortable in the locker room, feeling like they should be okay with stepping aside and smiling and allowing these men to take our spots on the podium, take our titles, take our scholarships, take away our opportunities," she said.
During the interview, Thomas said some of her University of Pennsylvania teammates were"half" supportive of the swimmer, who wasdespite being a biological man. She did not compete against women until the 2021-22 season. Thomas' gripes with her teammates stem from when 16 of them wrote a letter to the school saying they felt it was unfair Thomas was competing in the women's division."I've talked to several Lia Thomas' teammates, one even just yesterday after watching this podcast, who informed me the gaslighting that Thomas was portraying in that video was what they dealt with all year last year," Gaines said.
"The word that comes to mind when watching this podcast is sheer entitlement and selfishness and an utter disregard towards women," Gaines added.
