This college swimmer used to compete as a man but now identifies as a woman and is absolutely shattering women's swimming records
· Dec 7, 2021 · NottheBee.com

Among the latest transgender athletes to absolutely dominate in the women's leagues in which they are competing is 22-year-old University of Pennsylvania swimmer "Lia" Thomas:

A trans swimmer and senior at the University of Pennsylvania, who previously spent three years competing as a man, smashed two US records while competing at a weekend contest, sparking fresh claims of unfairness.

On Sunday, Lia Thomas, 22, put in an astounding performance at the Zippy Invitational Event in Akron, Ohio, that saw her finish the 1,650 yard freestyle 38 seconds ahead of her teammate Anna Sofia Kalandaze.

A 38-second lead is an unbelievably huge gap. To give you an illustration of just how massive that is, consider the differences in finishing times between the other athletes in the 1,650-yard freestyle: 11 seconds, one second, 10 seconds, two seconds, three seconds...

How far will we let this madness go?
