Last week, University of Pennsylvania swim star Lia Thomas qualified for the upcoming NCAA Division 1 championship. During her recent race, she broke a conference record after she earned the time of 1:41.93 and 4:34.06 for the 200 and 500-yard freestyle.
Since achieving such a massive feat, the UPenn senior has received an array of backlash from conservatives and anti-trans individuals.
Last week, the right-winged sports publication OutKick published an anonymous letter from a teammate that stated that their support for Thomas was “very fake.” The letter was also full of transphobic rhetoric and even deadnamed her throughout the piece.
