Champion swimmer forced to change in closet in order to avoid changing in front of transgender swimmer. Unbelievable.

So that is Riley, Paula and now Kylee. I wonder how many more will come and tell their story)

This needs to stop. The tide is turning & gaining momentum but it needs to gain pace. Those poor girls.

ENRAGING. That lumbering creep took so much from these talented young women.

They will all have a story, even the ones who habitually came last. They will have trained in their sport most of their lives, then had it made mixed sex by stealth. Lots of little indignities as they are support humans for failing male athletes and don't count except as validation and backdrop. Obviously they're just be happy to cheer on their team mate as he shows them how it's done.

Will be interesting to hear more about pressure that has been put on all of them to play along and stay sweet. Imagine it will have been scholarship funding and blacklisting. Hope they name names

Love the picture with the caption explaining which is Lia Thomas and which is the female team-mate, in case readers were confused.

Another brave young woman. I hope that her courage inspires more young women to talk about what they were put through by the NCAA and by an egotistical creep who inveigled his way into women’s sports and changing rooms.

Well done Kylee. I hope as more women speak up it emboldens the others women subject to this abuse who WE ALL KNOW are NOT fine with men in their spaces and stealing their medals but - as so many of us - generally don't speak up out of fear.

Riley has created the space for more women to speak up. I have so much admiration for her and for Sharon and for Martina but especially for Riley. I hope she goes into politics, the world needs women like her.

A picture really does say more than words on this one also.

The men who put these women / girls in this abusive position need to be held to account, and fired.

Wasn't it the case that they were told that if they didn't like Thomas walking around with his penis out intimidating them then they could go for counselling (to get over the delusion that women have human rights, presumably)?

These women were deliberately put in a position where they were sexually harassed by the coaches.

There is something ironic about who is forced to be 'in the closet' nowadays.

I read that as "he's faster than you, he can do what he likes" have some therapy to get over it.
He sounds like a psycho as he didn't give any shits about his "teammates" just wanted to win something. What a loser

Star comment! It is ironic indeed
