Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer, is making headlines as she continues to make a push for the Summer Olympics. The athlete has been breaking records and making waves in the swimming community for several years now, and her performances have been nothing short of exceptional.
Thomas, who is a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, has been setting records since her freshman year. Her performances have been a point of pride for the university, and her hard work and dedication have earned her accolades from all corners of the sporting world.
Recently, news broke that Thomas will be representing Team USA in the upcoming FINA World Championships, which are scheduled to take place in December.
This is yet another feather in Thomas’ cap, and it cements her status as one of the top swimmers in the world.
However, Thomas’ journey to the top has not been without its challenges.
As a transgender athlete, she has faced her fair share of discrimination and hate speech from those who believe that she should not be allowed to compete.
