‘Secretly Everyone Just Knows It’s The Wrong Thing To Do’: Teammate Of U Penn Transgender Swimmer Sounds Off

University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has been smashing records in the pool this season. But now one teammate is speaking out. 

Thomas — formerly known as Will Thomas — swam for the men’s swimming team for three years before joining the women’s program this year. 

In November, Thomas smashed the record in the 200 free time and the second-fastest 500 free time, with both times breaking Penn program records. 

Over the weekend, Thomas won the 1650 free by a whopping 38 seconds, the 500 free by 12 seconds, and the 200 free by seven seconds.
