One of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas' former teammates at the University of Pennsylvania has bashed the school for making female athletes undress beside the 6-foot-4 biological male '18 times a week.'
Paula Scanlan, a former NCAA Division I swimmer, told lawmakers that university officials refused to hear complaints from the women athletes and instead said they should be 'reeducated'.
Whether to let trans women compete in women's sports is a frontline issue in America's culture wars between progressives and conservatives. It played out in the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
'My teammates and I were forced to undress in the presence of Lia, a 6-foot-4 tall, biological male, with fully intact male genitalia, 18 times per week,' Scanlan told the committee.
'Some girls opted to change in bathroom stalls and others used the family bathroom to avoid this.'
When the women swimmers complained to the athletic department, they were told Thomas' presence was 'non-negotiable' and were offered counselling to 'reeducate us to become comfortable with the idea of undressing in front of a male,' she added.
'To sum up the university's response, we, the women, were the problem, not the victims,' Scanlan said.
'We were expected to conform, to move over and shut up. Our feelings didn't matter. The university was gaslighting and fearmongering women to validate the feelings and identity of a male.'
Last year, Lia Thomas became the first trans woman to win an NCAA swimming title at the Ivy League U-Penn. Thomas had previously competed on the male team. She began transitioning in 2019 and joined the female team in 2021.

The fact that the girls did not refuse to participate with that guy on the team makes me question their sincerity. I would bet if none of the girls showed up the school would relent rather than have only one team member.
They should all remain clothed and stand around him as long as he is there laughing and saying things like “it looks just like a penis, only smaller.”
Who and what is behind the legitimacy of this insanity? Why are educators, coaches, government agencies, NGO’s, and even churches, engaged in supporting this horror?
This is stupid. Special pleading for girl’s sports where the main issue is denial of reality enforced by the courts with no justification whatsoever.
The only law Congress needs to pass is the Biology Affirmation Act, that states that for identification purposes and for engaging other public services, your sex is the sex you were born with, and that whatever self-presentation you choose will not affect the way the State recognizes or identifies you.
The Dahmer mop I’m sure is close by in a locker room. Clean up your mess ladies.
We need to reclaim our language by insisting on proper naming of the sexes - male or female. Any other modifier is merely masking the mental illness of the individual and the willingness of society to enable that illness by failing to insist on the biological certainty in every human cell. I shall not be cowed into submission on this provable fact.

The women should walk in with restraints and a sharp knife and make it clear their intent on gelding the tranny.
What is a "biological" male? One who utilizes the Krebs cycle to produce energy? One that consumes oxygen and nitrogen and excretes CO2 and urea?
He's a man. Period. No modifiers necessary.
“Some girls opted to change in bathroom stalls and others used the family bathroom to avoid this”
But some did not??
destroying the dignity and uniqueness of women in every single way imaginable...
making sure women can not have success as women....
They should inform Lia that he will not remain “intact” if he persists in the following present course.
Sorry for the double post...
Simple...mental illness
Resign from team? I know, scholarships and stuff. 🤔
They would have been off the roster.
“I would bet if none of the girls showed up the school would relent rather than have only one team member.”
That would end the fiasco in a hurry.
No, they did not “have to”. Every female on that team should have walked and left a one man women’s swim team.
What they should have done was beat the living snot out of this freak. It’s a damned shame not one single father did.
