Lia Thomas decides to not swim with women: “Women are petty, they’re jealous of me, I’ll try my luck in men’s team”
In a surprising and emotion-laden announcement, celebrated swimmer Lia Thomas has decided to withdraw from competitive swimming, citing an emotionally exhaustive journey and feeling of isolation in a statement released yesterday. Thomas, a transgender athlete, has been the nucleus of numerous debates surrounding fairness, gender, and competition integrity in women’s sports.

This extends not just to transgender athletes, but to all participants from various backgrounds identities, and experiences. But the conundrum remains: how does one balance inclusivity and fairness in a domain that has historically been bifurcated along biological lines?
