Arr, Caitlyn Jenner be stirrin' the pot! She be none too pleased with that swimmin' lass, Lia Thomas! After the World Aquatics ruling on transgender athletes, she be filin' legal action! Methinks thar be some splashin' controversies on the horizon, mateys!
Caitlyn Jenner, an Olympian and Fox News contributor, criticized Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete, for challenging a ruling from the World Aquatics that restricts transgender athletes from competing in women's sports. Jenner, who is also a transgender woman, called Thomas a "narcissist" and accused her of seeking publicity. Jenner argued that Thomas had been out of the public eye since the Olympic Committee deemed her ineligible to compete, and now she is only fighting the ruling for attention. Jenner also suggested that Thomas was trying to recreate the attention she received after defeating Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American swimmer. Gaines noted that the recently created "open category" by World Aquatics, which allows transgender women to participate in sporting events, has failed to attract any swimmers. Thomas, who became the first known transgender athlete to win a NCAA Division I title, is challenging the policy that restricts her participation in women's sports.
