Female students on the UPenn swim team are apparently uncomfortable sharing the locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, who is still biologically male. Who can blame them? Follow the logic here. If a male who identifies as male exposes himself in a college women's locker room, it's indecent exposure, but if the same biological male identifies as female, it's no big deal?

The success of the transgender swimmer Lia Thomas at UPenn has spurred the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to adopt a new policy on transgender athletes. The new plan involves allowing individual sports to determine eligibility on their own. It sounds a bit like they're passing the buck.

Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer at Penn, was recently beaten in women's 100 meter race by a transgender swimmer from Yale. Is this the future of women's sports? What happens when more schools have transgender athletes on women's teams? In the case reported below, Thomas, who "transitioned" from male to female lost a race to a swimmer "transitioning" from female to male.
