William “Lia” Thomas, the transgender former collegiate swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania, is back in the news again. He just can’t shake the itch of wanting to compete against female swimmers. His latest quest is filing a lawsuit to try to compete in the 2024 Olympics in the female swimming category. As nearly everyone in the world should know by now, Thomas is a man, not a woman.
According to the Telegraph, Thomas hired the Canadian law firm Tyr to represent him in his efforts to overturn the 2022 decision by World Aquatics, the governing body of international swimming competitions, regarding transgender swimmers. World Aquatics ruled that men would no longer be permitted to swim against females in competitions. The organization didn’t cave to political pressure and stood up for women’s sports.
