The Florida Man's Florida Man, Ron DeSantis, was very upset this weekend when transgender female swimmer Lia Thomas from Penn State won in the NCAA Division 1 swimming competition. Thomas, who is the first transgender athlete to win any NCAA D1 championship since trans athletes were accepted into the competitions in 2010, beat out Sarasota resident and University of Virginia swimmer Emma Weyant. Last year, DeSantis signed legislation banning trans women from competing in sports at the high school and college levels, and on Tuesday he doubled down on his transphobia by signing a proclamation that Weyant is the "rightful winner" of the competition.
