It’s like we’re being trolled at this point.
The Washington ExaminerUniversity of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has been nominated for the NCAA’s Woman of the Year Award.“Established in 1991, the award recognizes female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers,” the release read.
“As 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the NCAA Woman of the Year program is an important opportunity to honor and reflect on the impact of women on intercollegiate sports.” Thomas made quite the impact, adding fuel to a national debate surrounding the fairness of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
Thomas, who swam for the men’s swimming team for three years in NCAA Division I competition, got first place in the women’s 500-yard NCAA championship in March. Myriad athletes, including Thomas’s own teammates, have spoken out against the transgender student-athlete’s domination of women.“Lia identified as a woman, but she is not a female,” she said. “That is a fact. It doesn’t matter how you feel.”
