THERE NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY ...
Against the Democrat party
AND A MAJOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE NCAA.
U Penn's action are despicable.
sorry not sure how this posted to you, but meant for a post above you ?
It will only be paid by Public Funds, meaning WE will be paying for it !, while the wetawds will sit back and act like they did nothing wrong !
.
This is sickening. Absolutely sickening.
I can't believe she was told that SHE needed to adapt.
I believe it. And it is disgusting. People aren't buying in.
We need to stop this madness
@@delpicsla65There needs to be more women like her with brains and backbone and WON'T ride the fence in efforr to prevent hurting anyone's feelings. If women continue to ride the fence, NOTHING will change and it will only get worse.
This transgender BS has got to stops. Kudos to this real woman for taking a stand!
yep....but incredibly, where are the feminists? Its mind boggling how they havent gone scortched earth on this topic when their whole premis is to go against their perception of the male patriarchy. Its literally like a Dave Chappelle skit in real life right now. honestly
say something about it and potentially loose your job, that's one of the problems
You can just hear the anger and frustration in her voice!! What an absolut queen she is for standing up againts this nonsense!!
It's absolutely disgusting what's been done to these women.
If young women today don't like competing against men or having men in their locker rooms or if they have trouble finding a young man who wants to marry them they can all thank their mothers and grandmothers for their 50 year war on boys and men. They said boys and men didn't deserve their own spaces and equality was needed and girls and women were equal (but special). They young men know what happened to dad and grandpa in divorce court and have decided that 1) there is no upside in marriage for a man 2) they were tired of hearing about how equal (but special) females were and decided to play by the RULES laid down by someone else and be equal(but special) too. 3) There are women all over the world who love men and respect men as part of their culture and going to the process of finding one is an investment in your future and not a drain like every woman they have ever met. One thing women never learned is that you can only pee in the well so many times before it's undrinkable and they have been peeing in the man well for 50 years. If they want a shoulder to cry on try a BOY Scout ( if you can find one) Good job there too ladies
it's because of the liberals, deflecting from their failed policies.
And they were essentially told to accept it and STFU about it. If she was on full scholarship at Penn, I’ll guarantee you she was threatened to have it pulled if she spoke out. These poor women were blackmailed into supporting something they clearly didn’t believe in. I’ll bet you the people making these decisions never invested 10-15 years of their life honing their bodies and skills into an athletic endeavor. They wiped their asses with the commitment these women put into becoming elite, top level athletes to suit their perverted agenda and then tried to make these ladies feel bad about it if they objected. What an absolute bunch of shit bags these legislators are!
Interesting lesbians aren’t fighting to compete against men. 😂
Correct. It's an act of monsters who deny science and turn it upside down.
Parents of these girls should get together with a class action suit against Will and the University.
Those at her school who told her she needed to re educate herself on this issue should be re educated by being fired!
"Re-educate" hmm seems like I've heard somewhere that before in the past. This should be the biggest red flag to everyone
North Korea, China, Nazi Germany, etc. Yep, that term is remembered.
Yeah, stopped the video right after that
Re-education camps and "procedures"
It's never the good guys that do that
That's right,Mao and his communist doctrine.
yeah a red flag with a white circle & some black cross thing in its center....
Men forcing Women to undress in front of them. THIS IS PROGRESS ?
I don't think anybody was forcing them to undress. They could have chosen to not undress.
Little did she know but some of the biological females in the locker room were checking her out more than Lia.
Also all transgenders don't feel the same way.

@@MichaelPaysour Really, you should be so ashamed of yourself. You obviously hate women. Try educate yoursel and show some decency.
Lia is a pervert. Look at his accounts.
lunatics have taken over the asylum
This is regressive
So if Lea truly was a women, “she” would understand the discomfort of having a biological male undress in a female locker room and would be sensitive to that fact and change elsewhere. That he does not do that says either narcissist or mentally ill. How anymore in our legislature doesn’t get that is incomprehensible.
Well said!!!
U right 👍👍
Exactly. Roosters need to stay out of the henhouse.
Yeah, I also don't get that Lea's thinking... there are so many sensible trans people out there that get a bad name from self-obsessed people like Lea...
@MPine why is it an issue that "she" uses their showers when there's no sexual attraction towards them. This is bigoted and hateful. The statement that he is a threat to women using showers is hypothetical. You can't posit that a man/guy with male genitalia in a girls shower is a threat.
Amen! Young lady, many of us are hugely proud of you!!!!
Women have fought for rights for CENTURIES and we are not stopping now just to let men appropriate our title. Transwomen are NOT women.
😂' Centuries'!? Really?
@@agamemnonhatred Yes, absolutely.
In the United States, the first feminist movements appeared around 1840 in relation to the demand for equal suffrage. The first movement is influenced by slavery - Elisabeth Stanton and Lucretia Mott wanted to attend the World Anti-Slavery Congress, but were denied on the basis of their gender.
@@luciebottaro5485'1840' isn't centuries, it's not even two. Even if you include Charles Fourier, a utopian socialist and French philosopher, who is credited with having coined the word "féminisme" in 1837, or Mary Wollstonecraft, seen by many as a founder of feminism due to her 1792 book titled 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman', that's two and a quarter, hardly 'CENTURIES' as you put it. Also you completely disregard the fact the universal suffrage and women's rights were campaigned for by men as well as women and that in countries that voted to granted these rights, it was men only who did this as there were no women in power at the time.
@@agamemnonhatred Yes, CENTURIES. How long have women been oppressed? Since the dawn of human history? Yeah. So shut your pie hole.
@@agamemnonhatred Btw, I'm sure women have been fighting for rights since before the 1800's. Just because it's not all in recorded official history doesn't mean it didn't happen, nimrod. And as an example, in 1648, Margaret Brent, an unmarried woman with land, fought for a vote in Maryland's colonial assembly. And in 1756, Lydia Taft won the right to vote as her widow's proxy at a Massachusetts town meeting. So again, yeah, women have been fighting for CENTURIES.
This doesnt only piss me off, it makes me sick. Everyone of the so called educators should be fired for promoting and allowing this bs.
Sadly, the people that are fired are the ones that don’t go along with the nonsense and you don’t have to be a woman or in athletics for it to apply.
All the women should have walked out. The program would have folded.
Little did she know but some of the biological females in lockerroom were checking her out more than Lia.
@@MichaelPaysour OMG. I can't believe you even thought that! You are trash
@@MichaelPaysour bro stop defending this guy
@@xxxconnorxxxt7868 I'm not defending what he does. A male that has already gone through puberty and not gone through the change should not be allowed to compete in women's sports.
I just don't like the idea of searching the world for these rare examples so that right wing extremist can put them on display in order to gain some political traction. It's always a means to an end for the bottom feeders in this country. It is in their DNA to exclude, limit, and discriminate. It has been black people for hundreds of years, now it's transgender people, refugees, and women seeking control of their bodies. Who is next?
@@MichaelPaysour how does it feel to have so many stupid takes. 😂
This is insanity!
This insanity has to stop.The university is culpable on many levels. This man has to be stopped. Stripping in front of these women is a crime,pure & simple. Why is he still free ? The uni needs to be sued & any of its' staff involved in pushing this obscene rhetoric should also be pursued. I wish all the women so badly treated all the very best.Keep fighting & push back as hard as you can. This needs to stop.
That was a mic drop speech. A slam dunk. A first round knockout. Walk-off home run. I"m sorry I don't know any swimming related euphemisms but this young lady is made of the right stuff.
Little did she know but some of the biological females in the locker room were checking her out more than Lia.
@@MichaelPaysour and your point is off the mark. Thomas is a joke.
@@allenrichards318 You should quit your unsuccessful attempt to match wits with me.

@@MichaelPaysour😂😂😂😂 your a joke, clown
It is sad and twisted how the real victims are made out to be the troublemakers, all because the University will be defunded, and the coach will be fired if they don't comply.
The coaches should have stood up for these female students, but that would courage, commitment, and common sense!
@@EHB4323 Expecting everyone to risk their life, because we are being threatened to risk our life by these people.
If only people were strong enough and had the full perspective, they would stand up
I confused! Real victim (women) made out to be the troublemakers. Check! Coaches fired id they don’t comply. Check! Universities be defunded? Why is listed as a negative? Hell yea, defund them by taking away the University’s certification. Thats the only way to get rid of these wacko’s. You can’t fire them.
They should be freaking defunded. What happened after Sandusky? This is no freaking different. Sexual harassment, is the same, if it's kids or older students.
It always comes down to money
Why not create 3 sports event instead?
- biological men
- biological women
- transgender or anyone who doesn't want to identify themselves as a biological man/woman
That would be four categories but yes… agreed
Nobody will attending the trans events cos they're in the very minority of society
They actually do already. But the trans women don't want that. Because they wouldn't have the unfair advantage they have competing against biological females.🙄🤦
This is a disgrace what they are doing to these young women and their sports and very possibly criminal with this insane nonsense.
Very eloquent speaker with biologic facts to support her presentation. Thank you for your courage to stand up to blatant discrimination of girls and women in sports.
Oh so now you all are against discrimination?
@@MichaelPaysour who isn't against discrimination? Wait a minute, LBGTQ+ activists, ANITFA, BLM and most progressives all support discrimnation.
@@MichaelPaysouryes.
@@MichaelPaysour transwomen = men
@@MichaelPaysour Yes, I am lesbian and I am totally against this. Biological males should not be in women's safe spaces to harass them sexually by exposing their genitals, by dominating and destroying women's sports. It's is morally wrong and we all know it.
Lia-Will is horrible.
The school's administration is exponentially worse.
It's ridiculous that trans rights so frequently seem to happen at the extreme expense of women.
Im telling you, this will is still a male, he's pretending to be woman because he didn't want to compete in a men's sport, he change his gender because he know he can win in a woman's sport, will also admit even tho he's trans, he still attractive to his women swim team mates, what a coward and creep
That par for the course as far as the Left is concerned.
Agreed! Lia Thomson is a narcissist who thinks that the world revolves around him! He clearly does not know what the word biology means!
I remember one time, I heard a transwoman say, "trans rights are human rights!" and he kept saying that anyone who disagreed with him is transphobic. I'm very tired of these terrible narcissistic self-righteous redditing transgender people who think feelings are gender. Lia Thomson is the best example of someone who thinks his mind is more important than actual scientific facts! Sports are gendered for a reason; gender is biology for a reason! These facts cannot be denied!
School authorities suggested "re-education" for offended women. That sounds like something common in North Korea. This woman wasn't allowed to speak via her school newspaper. The justification for censorship is probably another use of the doctrine of "hate speech."
Nowadays, trans rights don't just trump women's rights. They even trump gay rights. They had a pride parade somewhere a couple years ago. There was one lesbian on the organizing committee, and two trans people. Not even one gay man, and this was a pride parade.
That's because it's men that are bigger, AND more powerful.
If they let kids play in adult leagues, it wouldn't be much of a problem for adults.
Very Good, Paula! I am completely bewildered that this issue even exists. Has the world lost its minds? This situation can not be allowed to exist anymore! It's just plain stupid in the first place! Please, keep fighting to correct it! Not the way it currently is!! Kudos to you and all the woman who are fighting to change this back to way it's supposed to be! 👍🏼
very well said. As many have said here, the courage to take this stand... well, I applaud you!
This is so wrong! Forcing these ladies to accept a male changing in the same locker room is never appropriate!
And I'm unfortunately not surprised with the amount of transphobia in the comments. Lia might be BIOLOGICALLY male, but she, in fact, IS A WOMAN. Sorry your little ass has to deal with non-threats, but fucking deal with it
It's sick.
@@tadhgcronin175 What's sick is the disdain you have for people you can't understand and assuming shit about us and trans kids when you have no fucking idea what you're talking about and are talking out of your ass with pure ignorance. Grow the fuck up you low-life scumbag piece of fucking shit
And the still likes biological women. So who cannot guarantee that he is a sexual predator.
The university staff should be sued and fired for this nonsense. Thank you ladies for standing up for yourselves.
When a Country becomes THIS wicked, it's only a matter of time before it's FALL!!
Insanity and pure evil!
Imagine, as a woman, having to undress in a locker room and see a 6ft 4" male with his leg up on a bench, towel drying his meat and two veg! Disgusting!
You fail to mention that this male is cheating you out of winning anything. Outrage on top of disgust!
It's one thing to be against trans people in women's sports and another to call someone's biology disgusting...
@@bodo887 Well it disgusts me that a macho looking man dangles his bits in a women"s change room while he cheats women out of winning in their chosen sport. It certainly disgusts me. Maybe you want to see such things. What does that say about you?
@@bodo887 That she was forced to be in close quarters with this person, with his genitalia on full show is disgusting.
@@bodo887I don't think they were calling male biology disgusting. They were painting a picture of a man towel drying his junk while having one leg up on a bench in a locker room full of young women. Not a very attractive angle even for the best looking man 😂
There is something seriously wrong in this country, when this is allowed to happen and nobody in a position of authority has anything to say about it, or do something about it! Sickening and pathetic!!!
It was also sickening when young athletes were forced to strip in front of people of same sex, yet nobody complained about that.
@@goranmilic442I didn't think anything of that, since we had all been born with the same stuff. But then, this was back in the 90s when we didn't have to worry about this kind of trash.
@@Lavenderrose73 If you were comfortable, it doesn't mean all were comfortable, does it? Some kids were very uncomfortable with being undressed in front of their own sex, yet they had to do it, just like this.
You're really trying to justify a 6'4" man with everything attached getting undressed in front of young college women. This is SO different from changing in front of your own sex after sporting events or gym class (if that still exists), etc. MAYBE if he was post-op it would be a little less creepy. But, idk
.. This is the Twilight Zone.@@goranmilic442
Sadly those in power now promote this rather than stopping it.
Absolutely brilliant and well worded!
I want to see FACES. We know Mr. Thomas now... but WHO exactly was responsible for all those actions and threats etc. against Paula and the other WOMEN on the swimming team? All have to be held accountable!
It's sad that women have to go through this
This is woke
Well then Wokes a Joke! It's all nonsense!
@@andreasgiannopoulos1204this ain't woke, stop using that word wrong. This is the gender Bender movement and you dumbasses that let the lbgt cult do what they please because they "suffer" maybe there is a reason why other countries are banning these weirdos. Take note America😅
Feminism opened this can of worms. Women cried for equality for decades and now it's come back to bite y all in the azz.
it was worse a hundred years ago.. now they can vote..
Incredibly worded and heartfelt! The insanity has to stop. Biological Women’s rights can not and must not be erased, overlooked and ignored. No one has the right to do that! It is a most basic violation of any woman’s basic rights to callously ignore their request for privacy.
Truth!
Sadly, the mental illness, and need to conform to said mental illness, is priority one for these liberal cesspools, known as universities. This insanity has to be stopped. I have the utmost respect for this girl standing her ground, and speaking so eloquently.
We need all women to take this stand. Not a few, ALL. Time to refuse to be a victim of this abuse.
the entire swim community needs to refuse to show up to any competition with a biological male competing. Time to end this once and for all. The hell with what the “inclusive “ idiots think.
no one took away the women’s right to swim …
@@allitinglz What are you talking about?
@allitinglz first of all, it kind of has because they know it’ll be stupidly hard to compete against Lia because obviously he’s gonna be training as well. Second of all, the original commenter said biological women’s rights. And you said women’s rights to swim. What about their rights to be able to change in their own locker rooms without any men in there with them? You wouldn’t realize any of this because you’re the largest surface thinker out there. At least watch the video before commenting.
Fathers of daughters really need to listen to this and to speak up against the 'rights' of trans-identifying men, it is nothing but madness
All involved should get charge, I feel so bad for all those women
I agree!!
Men saying that they're female to compete in women's sports needs to come to an end! If they really want to compete then they need to make a new class, have the male class, the female class and whatever they are class.
Why do my daughter's need to compete against these men?!
That's exactly the problem with transgenderism. It generates a lot of problems on so many levels: sports, legal aspects, social aspects, etc. In the case of Lia Thomas, you can only infer he changed sex to compete, as it isn't something that can be undoubtedly proved. And this applies on every other aspect. Like it or not, as much as many people hate it, there are only two sexes: male and female. You are assigned one at conception (not birth), and that's that. Abnormalities like hermaphrodism are that... abnormalities. They're not the norm. As much as you change certain aspects of your sex, you will never be able to change it 100%.
Actually people on drugs are forbidden from competing. This included all so called trans
No need to make a nee class. They just have to accept they are shit athletes who got their asses whipped and then changed the difficulty. They need to accept they are just bad at what they do and do somethig else.
There’s already such a class: the men’s class is open to all participants, including trans and women.
It is the women’s class that is protected.
700 plus different classes to cater to every type of gender whim?
Courageous woman. Hats off to her. Lia Thomas' "records" should be retracted.
What the heck happened to protecting women ? One man gets to override the needs and concerns of women. NOW what happened to your organization? Women’s rights.
I am a 74 year old gay woman who has marched for equality for the LGBT community, women's rights, and more for decades. I believe in equal rights not greater rights. Lia Thompson wants greater rights. Bravo to this eloquent young woman speaking out! I'm sorry if Lia was born male and mentally and emotionally is female. The fact remains that she has a male body and that gives her an unfair advantage in sports. It also remains unfair to force biological females to change their clothing and shower in front of a biological male. Equal rights not greater rights.
Go to hell
Him.
As a 74 year old woman you damn well know that he is not a she. There aren’t any women attempting to “transition” to be men and demand to be in men’s locker rooms or bathrooms. Will is a sick greedy pervert. Womanhood is fully being mocked and so called feminist are encouraging such behavior.
Will, IS and always will be a MALE!!
If young women today don't like competing against men or having men in their locker rooms or if they have trouble finding a young man who wants to marry them they can all thank their mothers and grandmothers for their 50 year war on boys and men. They said boys and men didn't deserve their own spaces and equality was needed and girls and women were equal (but special).

I just liked how she addresses lia thomas as a "he", which he is
And he always have an erection in that changing room.
His name is William not Lia!
I agree that someone who was born biologically male and thus has an unfair physical advantage over biological women should not be allowed to compete in women's sports competitions.
But Lia Thomas has a right to her gender identity in her private life. If she wants to identify as female, then that should be accepted.
Those are two separate issues, and dead naming and using the wrong pronouns is disrespectful to her feelings. Just as it is disrespectful to the feelings of these women if Lia Thomas is allowed to compete with them. Should Lia Thomas have had the common sense to not compete, knowing she'd have an inherently unfair advantage over the other contestants? I'd say yes. But insulting her won't make the situation any better.
@@yunamoonlight1015 I don't think that "he" can see it. At least, not at this time.
@@ericlehman6841 That is literally what I said. Please do read properly before replying.
And is it really so impossible to respect a person's identity? If she wants to change her name to Lia, why not respect that? If she wants to use feminine pronouns, why not respect that? It's not like you'll have a personal disadvantage if you do. And it would show that you are the bigger person, as opposed to Lia, who believes that she has the right to compete in woman's sports, despite her biological gender giving her an unfair advantage over all the other competitors.
Very well said Ms Scanlan. Thank you for speaking the truth and for your courage, as a sexual assault survivor yourself, to speak up for sexual assault victms.😊
Go girl, this subject should be voiced freely by all female athletes and NOT sensored .. From perth australia 👌
Thank you for standing up for yourself, your friends, and the future of women. God bless you ❤️🙏🤗
"I totally care about girls' sports all of a sudden to the extent that I think EVERYONE assigned male at birth is AUTOMATICALLY better than anyone assigned female."
Like I guess is trans fems are automatically more athletic than any cos women, despite the effects pf HRT? Hell, even then, many cis women are fucking ripped. Some of them even have the "advantages" that conservatives point to claiming all trans have over cis women. It's just really inconsistent.
@@smokexsmoke99 don't use that word cis. ppl sound so stupid saying that word you cant even spell it right.

@@smokexsmoke99 All of a sudden, in an attempt to champion equal rights, the Left culture is proving men and women aren't equal....in sports. Good job Wokers.

Very strange, perverts paradise is here! and if you object you get excluded, inclusivity seems to work only for transgender failures that can't compete against their own sex so cheat their way to first place.
This is just awful. Can we please stop the madness and get back to normal?!
Never heard a better speech! Thumb up for this young lady. I sympathize with her and suffer for the awful experience she had.
The last woman summed it up very well
" Future generations depend on us"
They depend on us doing the correct and moral thing.
Yet they failed miserably- by allowing this to happen on their watch
There was only one woman.
That's women logic for you. They want equality till it comes knocking down their door. Then they're victims to their own problems lol
I will never understand how 99.9% of a group in collective aggreence/feeling towards a subject matter can be made uncomfortable to accomodate the wants of 1 individual. Its unbelieveable.
Follow the money and who funds, manages the lobby groups and organisations.
To me it's about being correct, not siding with the majority.
and there's nothing correct about xy chromosomes competing with xx chromosomes @@ericlehman6841
it is called equality in life and rights. The majority of US was ok with slavery, it didn't make it right... as a matter of fact, for u, to still not getting it, you are only proving what the rest of the world said about you all, "USA is one of the more racists countries in the world"
She (Ms. Thomas) shouldn't be subjected to bigotry, but her rights shouldn't be elevated over the safety and security of biological females. Lea Thomas has every right to exist in the world as she sees fit, but the basic biological differences cannot be dismissed either. Transgender isn't the same as other gender abnormalities, and they shouldn't all be lumped together.
What's happening to our world now? Is this what you called progress? This is pure bs. I'm a parent and I wouldn't let this happen to my daughter in school. Parents should step up and do something about this.
This is unacceptable
What happened to her is egregious. She is heroic for speaking out.
What is the difference between being offered psychology services in America and re-education in communist countries?
There is no difference, if they can get away with this then they will get away with anything. When I was studying the history of Nazi Germany, an oft asked question was ' Why and how did the Nazis get ordinary people to comply and exercise such cruelty?'.... Well this is how, we are watching it happen.
Slightly higher quality facilities and well paid doctors that make a huge premium on pushing the mind virus.
And the worst time is that if Lia sexually attacks one of them the victims aren't going to be them but Lias and they are going to be transphobic and homophobic.
Go home Lia.
Dont say Lia or she...
Stop the lie!
@@LL-LLLL9correct
I agree, Robin! Will needs help!
I really liked how she kept referring to him by his last name, Thomas, a distinctly male name!
All of his records should be erased and the pride of accomplishment restored to these young women. How blind must you be to ignore the indignity they go through. It's appalling. This has been forces down our throats and we are beginning to gag. Live your life as you see fit. You have that right. You don't have the right to force your life on others.
This will definitely happen in time. He will be expunged from all these events.
Well said young Lady! Healing and strength to you and all women facing this despicable issue today. Thank you for sharing your trauma. You have helped many others with your message. Sad that this is our reality in our society. Let us all be strong and stand up with these women.
Paula, you are a class act. I'm proud to see how our future is in excellent hands. Dont stop, you will prevail.
So many people trying to logically and graciously arguing this matter. Get the Men out of Woman's sports! Sure, Thomas slid through the water faster. He is slime.
He sure is acting like it !!
That is one of the problems. People are treating this as an actual controversial issue that needs to be addressed using logic and arguments. This is a matter of politics, not logic. As long as attention is focused on transgender issues, it is not focused on other much more important issues. Like war and the struggle for power between the rich and the poor.
That’s the funniest and best comment I’ve read on him so far 😂 👏
Despicable to say the least!
Little did she know but some of the biological females in the locker room were checking her out more than Lia.
@@MichaelPaysour Your redundant idiocy is annoying
@@allenrichards318 It is common knowledge why the truth is annoying to you. You're desperate for political traction in an economy that is growing with consecutive months of reduction in inflation, consecutive increase in GDP, consecutive months of job growth, and reduction in illegal border crossing. You have been robbed of your right-wing talking points and your New York crime Boss who owns the Republican party has had his home raided by the FBI and arrested twice with more to come. You're desperate for political traction and you've chosen to pick an insignificant Boogeyman.
@@MichaelPaysour So ?
You've failed to see the problem.
It's not about what Lia was thinking, or what any of her teammates were thinking. That cannot be controlled or monitored.
The problem is that there was a man undressing in the women's changing room, it made the women uncomfortable and they were not allowed to complain.
@@candyman9635 Maybe you had not notice but they were complaining. No one stopped them so stop exaggerating. Likely someone wanted this to be a problem. They could have easily situated Lia in another locker room but someone wanted a public commotion.
I'm sure Lia actually thinks she is a woman. My point was their are probably biological women in the locker room lusting after their teammates.
I remember when I managed a public gym. I have to admit I was a little bit annoyed with gay men staring me up and down when I'm naked.
Now get this in that same public gym we had some visitors from Scandinavia. Our sauna was coed to my surprise these beautiful blondes were buck naked in a sauna full of men. They weren't the least bit concerned because they had a different sensibility about nudity.
I tend to push back against this transgender phobia because usually these attacks are a means to an end. For example the right-wingers made a big deal out of abortion when many of them have participated themselves. It was not abortion they wanted to overturn but they knew if they got a Supreme Court that could end abortion then they could go after the real target which was AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. To attack affirmative action head on would have drawn a more severe response from the left.
Furthermore, the right-wingers will search the whole world to find one example and then parade it around like it's the normal everyday occurrence. Then the right wingers look the other way and embrace the Republican George Santos who is a transvestite and a habitual fraud. Hippocrates!
She is absolutely correct ✅
Unreal! How does a school get away with this crap.
The Administration that forces this locker room stupidity should be made to disrobe in public and walk the walk of shame for what they have done. Not one of them should object .
Well said. You tell them girl. I am a father and grandfather and i am very proud of you for speaking out.
She said it perfectly.
Thomas is the one who needs the psychological help, not these women. How utterly horrible. How insulting.
There is no way that Women should have to put up with these Freaks that are mentally disturbed or are just perverts.
Yes Will Thomas is a selfish narcissist and obviously disturbed -why isn’t he being banned from competing against biological women??!!
Well done that woman for speaking up against trans women in women’s sports
That is absolutely absurd, sue the school. Everything woke turns to shtttt!! Girls need to bboycott that b.s.
they should have all left the team to send a message
Well done on speaking up for the truth, you are a brave woman.
She is so courageous. But I can’t believe that women still has to defend their rights in sports. It’s sickening. The people who made the decision, the choice to silence these women, should be fired.
Absolutely agree!
I feel so bad for real women that worked hard their whole lives to succeed in athletics only to be beaten by a man pretending to be a woman so he can win a medal he didn't deserve.
Why don't these women just boycott these swim meets until will Thomas walks off the team.
These women have been treated barbarically and sexual assault was forced onto them!
I'm scared of what's next for this country. I'm scared of what comes after this insanity!

Impressive testimony, too bad that the politicians will not listen to her.
Nope, they will keep catering to the minority while damaging the majority
I wish politicians would listen to people actually going through gender affirming care in front of cis people who don’t know anything about the topic

TRAP THEM ALL WITH THIS: "A BATHROOM BREAK." The women on the panel head to the restroom.... GET YOUR CAMERA READY.... a Trans/Dr. Rachel Levine, speeds up in front of them and HOLDS THE DOOR OPEN FOR THEM. "ACTION!" Do they still go in knowing that A MAN is going to follow? What if Levine is already in there and they walk in? What if they are about to sit on a toilet, LEVINE STANDS IN THE NEXT STALL, SPLASHES?
GET THAT ON CAMERA, SHOW IT IN A HEARING/SCHOOL BOARD/COLLEGE ADMINISTRATIORS/NCAA AND THE WOMEN WHO REFUSED TO GO IN OR LEFT! BOOM... THIS WILL END!
good for this young woman!
When is this madness going to end? Look, Will can live how he wants, but forcing the general public to live out that fantasy with him is absolutely asinine. And I am surprised more women's groups aren't coming out against this!
Shocking! Who has an interest of putting this mess in this world? Put people in confusion and it is much easier to control them… think about it. Well done miss for having the courage to voice your opinion.
Good speech thanks for standing up with the truth 👍
The school needs to be sued.
I think all of us Dads need to start making some noise and protect our girls.
I wish they would stop calling him Lia, his name on birth certificate says William Thomas. Well done young ladies! You 2 are heroes for standing up against transgender bullyism.
Same. I get so annoyed by that
I'm calling him William the fag (just like Chris Tyson).
Just like how I Will always call Bruce Jenner, Bruce.
If he wants me to call him an arbitrary name like Beatrice, Emma, or Abigail, I’ll call him that.
I’ll never identify him as a “she” though. That’s not arbitrary.
Also, Angel is a male.
'William' legally changed names to 'Lia' which is why it's used. Nothing more than that.
You can change your name but not your gender
hold the line
Thank you for speaking out! There is a reason that there are seperate mens and women’s locker rooms, and if will Thomas doesn’t like that, he can change elsewhere, or I don’t know, JOIN THE DAMN MENS TEAM???? As a male swimmer myself, I can tell you that men biologically have a larger lung capacity than women! Mr Thomas was barely in the top 500 for men, and all of a sudden he decided that he’s a woman and what do you know! He’s on the podium in women’s sports! It’s purely sick!
Appears there are still wise young people around
Great speech and thank you for addressing this important issue. Silencing should be punished by law!
It's called freedom of speech.....duh....amendment.
She is an absolute boss. The courage to say this.... At that age is no short of amazing. So well-spoken, on topic and the fact that this is even debatable if she is right is a downright joke.
Wish the best for her and all others in the same insane situation(s)
Wow! Well done! God bless you for speaking up and all you are doing!
this is so messed up.. he is a dude, plain and simple. he needs to be charged for predatory behaviour.
What an incredibly articulate, heartfelt speech from a real woman.
I would love to hear the responses of those academics that have empowered all of this nonsense.
This has to stop.
Women like Paula Scanlon will make that happen.
You can’t fire them. All you can do is close the university by withdrawing their state certification. What hey are teaching cannot be supported in a court hearing unless the judge is woke, then get them out of office first. This can only be reversed if we fight! Otherwise its going to be common place and eventually protected.
Let's hope so.

Personally, the rhetoric spewed to support this nonsense is rather revolting. I’d rather avoid it.
It’s a bit like when someone has the flu or something like that. It’s just best to stay clear.
It should never have been allowed in the first place. There are only men and women in this world. They were manipulating these young women into believing it was right. Those same people should be removed from their positions. Those people who put these young women into that position should be charged with abuse, sexual abuse against these young women!
amen
The swimming competition management was also deluded! 🤦 Lia or Will took the advantage.😤 I really felt for the real women like her. 😞
100% agree with this young woman. Common sense has gone out the window.
This makes my soul scream. I worked for Penn for close to 10 years. I loved that place. Yet I can see how the academia side has been molded to do this to whatever seemingly powerless group they can. It’s not just Penn. but it’s sickening and I know very few people, even within the organization, who are okay with this
Brave eloquent woman!
Well said young lady, your university is a disgrace
Disgusting behaviour from the university
