BREAKING. Huge lawsuit! Thread.

Three swimmers from Penn are suing the Ivy League and the NCAA for allowing a male (William “Lia” Thomas) to be in their changing room while they were completely nude and then allowing him to compete against them! 1/

2. They seek damages for “pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, suffering and anxiety, expenses costs and other damages.”

In case you didn’t know, these schools really allowed that man into their changing room and provided the ladies with no other place to change.

3. Female racing swimsuits are extremely tight and it’s very hard to wriggle into them. It takes a long time. They told these women to change in front of this man.

4. Thomas, who swam for Penn and graduated in 2022, won the Ivy League championship his senior year in the 500 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and 200 freestyle individually, as well as the 400 freestyle relay.

No kidding.

5. Harvard Athletics’ T-gender Inclusion Policy states that “Harvard Athletics actively seeks to create a space that is welcoming and inclusive to all identities; including but not limited to gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.”

What hogwash!

6. I hope these women get every single penny in endowment money these universities have.

Not only was he in the changing room when they were nude but he exposed himself to them!

I love how they have demanded a jury trial! May the jury be filled with people with common sense.

7. Riley Gaines and others who were in the room have noted that Mr. Thomas retained his franks and beans as do the overwhelming majority of these men. Many members of the public are unaware of this. Which may contribute to why some were ok with this.
