Interesting read. I posted a portion of the article below with a link to the full article. It sounds like the female athletes at the U of Penn were threatened to stay silent.
Lia Thomas' UPenn teammate breaks silence, says her concerns about locker room were labeled 'transphobic'
One of Lia Thomas' former University of Pennsylvania teammates has broken her silence, saying she is no longer scared to speak out against Thomas competing against females.
Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Paula Scanlan
joined "The Ingraham Angle" to discuss why she is now choosing to speak out, fighting for fairness in women's sports.
"I think one of the biggest things for me is just seeing how much this has changed in the last year," she told Ingraham Tuesday in her first cable TV interview.
"I thought maybe this won't continue to happen to other sports, maybe swimming is the exception. I've seen this blow up. There are cases of the track people in California. There is cycling, skateboarding, every single women's sport imaginable has been infiltrated by biological males competing on the women's team."
"I decided that… it's okay if I get some hate and I shouldn't be scared anymore because I need to use my voice and encourage other women to speak out against unfair competition," she continued.
She spoke with the Daily Wire last year anonymously in the documentary "What is a Woman?" where she detailed how she was silenced from speaking out against Lia Thomas.
"There was a lot of things we couldn't talk about that were very concerning, like a locker room situation. If you even brought up concerns about it, you were transphobic," she said.
"If you even bring up the fact that Lia swimming might not be fair, you were immediately shut down, as being called a hateful person."
She spoke with the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh in a video posted to social media Monday night, saying she is ready to join former college swimmer
Riley Gaines in "fighting for women and girls across the country."
