Good Morning America, Thomas claimed that male athletes participating in female sports "are not a threat to women's sports" and announced a goal of competing in the Olympic trials in women's swimming.Thomas' teammate, who wants to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, tells a different story.

The teammate revealed UPenn officials supported Thomas because "Lia's performance helps the University of Pennsylvania swim team.""If you even bring up the fact that Lia's swimming might not be fair, you are immediately shut down as being called a hateful person, or transphobic," said the swimmer in What is a Woman?, a new documentary by Matt Walsh."Lia obviously helps us do better [but] the feeling of winning doesn't feel as good anymore because it feels tainted," the anonymous student admits.This female swimmer's rights as a woman are being violated by the University of Pennsylvania.

For this reason, Concerned Women for America (CWA) has filed a civil rights complaint under Title IX with the U.S. Department of Education against UPenn.

We demand answers for the young women whose dreams have just been crushed by a 6'1" male-bodied athlete with every physiological advantage.June 23, 2022, marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
