Lia Thomas, who made history as the first transgender swimmer to win a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship, has finished her college swimming career. Both her supporters and detractors have a lot to say about it.
Ms Thomas, a fifth-year senior at the University of Pennsylvania, won first place in the women’s 500-yard freestyle two weeks ago. She finished the race in four minutes and 33.24 seconds, almost two whole seconds faster than the next swimmer.
