Arrr, mateys! Former UPenn mermaid Lia Thomas be raisin’ her voice for the trans crew in the sportin’ seas, even as landlubbers try to ban ‘em from the fairer games. A fine tale of courage on the high seas of competition, I say! Avast ye, let ‘em swim!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout a certain lass named Lia Thomas, a former fish in the great blue who swam with the girls o' UPenn! Now, the tides have turned, and many a landlubber be opposed to the likes of trans athletes joinin' the fairer sex in their sports! Just last week, our dear Lia spoke up at the HiTOPS trans youth forum, swearin' to keep fightin' for her crew, sayin’, “We must stick together, arrr!”Once known as Will, Thomas made waves in the women's category, breakin’ records like a fine ship cuttin' through the sea! But lo and behold, after the captain of the White House, ol' Trump, declared a ban on trans athletes, the sea got choppy. With lawsuits flyin' like cannonballs and federal funds halted, the winds of change be blowin' hard!
The scallywags who once swam alongside her be claimin’ foul play, sayin’ they were pushed to the brink of madness by the university’s pro-trans crew! Alas, the battle rages on, and even though Thomas tried to set sail for Olympic glory, she found the gates locked tight. Yet, she be determined, proclaims, “This be my sport too!” So, me hearties, raise a tankard to the tumultuous seas of sportin' and the antics of Lia Thomas, a true swashbuckler in her own right!
