Infamous transgender swimmer Lia Thomas donned a pro-Antifa “soldier” shirt on social media.
“She’s back,” a photo posted by Gwen, a transgender woman who reportedly identifies as Thomas’ girlfriend, read.
Andy Ngo, who has been attacked by Antifa, tweeted that Thomas has “embraced the #Trantifa branding in new photos posted on social media. Trans violent militancy is the current focus of #Antifa. They believe that critics of trans ideology should be silenced, maimed or murdered. Some call for sexual violence against females in particular, as revenge.”
nsgender swimmer Lia Thomas has reportedly been photographed wearing an “Antifa Super Soldier” shirt.
Thomas first began making national headlines in 2021, due to being transgender and defeating rival college swimmers by large margins. It ignited a debate about whether transgender swimmers, as in Thomas’ case, should be allowed to compete against cis rivals of the female gender.
The conversation has only become more forceful since as swimmers competing against Thomas have voiced displeasure over squaring off against, as one Virginia Tech swimmer said last year, “someone who went through puberty as a male and has the body of a male.”
Women’s rights sports advocate Riley Gaines, who had her NCAA trophy stolen because of Thomas, tweeted, “Doesn’t this make so much make sense.”
She explained, “I haven’t specifically bashed Lia Thomas on anything (other than calling him an entitled narcissist which I stand by) because ultimately he was following the rules in place. But this is disturbing.”
Most Americans agree transgender athletes should compete against members of their biological sex, according to recent polls.
