Kelly echoed sentiments of swimmer Riley Gaines, who tweeted: “Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title.”
Megyn Kelly blasted ESPN for honoring trans swimmer Lia Thomas as part of the network’s series celebrating Women’s History Month.But her dominant performance against other women prompted protests over what many saw as an unfair advantage that she had due to her being born a biological male.Lia Thomas, a swimmer for the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania, spent the first three years of her collegiate career competing as a man.
“We did not give our consent, they did not ask for our consent, but in that locker room we turned around and there’s a 6-foot-4 biological man dropping his pants and watching us undress, and we were exposed to male genitalia.” Last spring, Gaines and Thomas tied for fifth place in a national swimming competition. She blasted her opponent’s “unfair” advantage, saying that Thomas’s height, muscle mass, and heart and lung size gave her a leg up on her competitors.Kelly’s criticism was echoed by Riley Gaines, the University of Kentucky swimming star who has been vocal in her denunciations of the NCAA’s decision to allow Thomas to compete in female swim meets.
