Lia Thomas (again)

[Signalbox]

Reports that Lia Thomas has been exposing themselves to female team mates and that they have complained and been ignored on multiple occasions...

"While Lia covers herself with a towel sometimes, there’s a decent amount of nudity, the swimmer said. She and others have had a glimpse at her private parts."

"She stated that team members have raised their concern with the coach, trying to get Thomas ousted from the female locker room, but got nowhere."

"Multiple swimmers have raised it, multiple different times,' the UPenn swimmer said. 'But we were basically told that we could not ostracize Lia by not having her in the locker room and that there's nothing we can do about it, that we basically have to roll over and accept it, or we cannot use our own locker room."

"It's really upsetting because Lia doesn't seem to care how it makes anyone else feel,' the swimmer continued. 'The 35 of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one."

I mean this really is a green light to predatory males.

I've just read the piece too, and I'd be interested to know how many of those with decision-making powers over these girls in sports are males.

That is absolutely disgusting.

It's would be a shame if all the women felt unwell at the same time*, and then poor Lia would have to change by Lia's self

*they shouldn't have to, of course. I just can't think what else they can do to be heard

It really is.

If they want to indecently expose themselves, just identify as a woman and do it in their changing rooms or loos. Jobs a good’un.

And it’s well known that indecent exposure is the thin end of the wedge for these fuckers.

They need to start changing one at a time in the toilet. If every training session ends up with no-one there except Lia, the 'team' will have to come up with a working solution.

The comment made by a team mate about Lia still having male body parts & still being attracted to women sounds like a discreet way of telling us that the girls have to put up with Lia's erections.
Disgusting.

Yes, that's exactly what I thought.

“One of Lia Thomas' teammates tells DailyMail.com they feel uncomfortable sharing a locker room with the transgender UPenn swimmer. 'It's definitely awkward because Lia still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,' she said”

I can’t comment further on this. I’m too angry and any comment would doubtless be removed.

Yes Menopause that's exactly what I got from that comment. Lia had a hard on.

Gives me the fucking rage. The only way those women can avoid Lia's penis is by giving up their place on the team. How is that fucking fair? Glinner is right, it's rape culture.

But at least Lia's feeling a aren't hurt.

I wonder if this has been reported to the police or if nobody has bothered because they realise that nothing will be done about it.

It’s outrageous. How can people not see this for what it is?

It's definitely awkward because Lia still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,' she said”

Well it's pretty obvious that 'Lia' has a hard on then isn't it. With a free pass to get their penis out and expose themselves in front of women and the women have to shut up and stay silent about it. And even here we can't name the fucking problem.. On a parenting site mainly frequented by women. Who are silenced from describing what the abusers actually are.

They can. They don't care.

All those women being forced to use their space and bodies to validate a male's feelings.

Sexist, gaslighting bullshit.

Absolutely disgraceful. Eroding the boundaries and consent of these young women because of this male's performance of femininity.

Unbelievable. That's the equivalent of someone exposing themselves in public. Its not fair for the women to feel uncomfortable in their own changing rooms even more so if she/he is attracted to women. So that also gives Lia access to seeing them getting changed, possibly showering? Outrageous. They should refuse to play until Lia is made to change elsewhere. Fuck her rights, what about theirs??!!

If a non-trans identified male exposed their genitals in a women's changing room they'd be charged with flashing.

Yet somehow because of an internal feeling in Lia's head, that changes nothing about the experience for the women impacted, it is no longer a crime.

Now, everything about Lia makes me angry. I was originally willing to accept that Lia was mentally ill and delusional, giving Lia some sympathy and putting more of the blame of this mess on the governing bodies who allowed males onto female athletic teams. Then came Lia's racist comment about being Jackie Robinson (imagine being a white, upper-class male who attends an Ivy League - where Black people and women used to be barred from attending and then claiming you're like a great Black baseball player who experienced untold racial discrimination for his whole life...the mind boggles).

Now, it's blatantly obvious why Lia does what Lia does.

Perhaps they should all decamp to the blokes changing rooms knowing that Lia wouldn't/couldn't possibly follow!

What's it coming to when a shy young lady like Lia can't expose her lady penis whenever she wishes. Those other girls really should just shut up and be kind.

All the women should let Thomas change first and alone, and wait for Thomas to be out of the way.

No woman should be forced to change with a man present, whether he’s flashing or not.

I can’t read about stuff like this without being very fucking angry at the Be Kind brigade who ignore women’s feeling each and every time.

That’s what I thought. Whole team in the men’s. Id rather be in the mens changing room with men who knew their place, than in the womens with a man who gets an erection from deliberately making women feel uncomfortable.

That's just disgusting. We know that men who deliberately expose their genitals frequently go on to commit serious sex crimes against women.

I'm not sure why or how these coaches don't feel they need to protect these young women. They must feel so violated and vulnerable
