A transgender athlete who competes for the University of Pennsylvania women's swim team is again the focus of a teammate's ire following two more victories. Lia Thomas, 22, won the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle races on Saturday in a meet against Harvard University. Thomas' success and inclusion have already sparked a nationwide conversation about fairness in women's sports. Christopher Tremoglie, a teammate of Thomas' spoke out, saying "women are now third-class citizens." An anonymous teammate told Christopher, "Lia was not even close to being competitive as a man in the 50 and the 100 (freestyle events), but just because Lia is biologically a man, [Lia] is just naturally better than many females in the 50 and the 100 or anything that [Lia] wasn’t good at as a man."
