Last week, University of Pennsylvania student Lia Thomas became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I championship, earning the title of best woman swimmer at the collegiate level in the 500-yard freestyle. This week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis used his office to issue a formal declaration of crocodile tears.
On Tuesday, DeSantis signed an official proclamation rejecting the race results and instead crowning second place finisher and Florida resident Emma Weyant as the true champion.
