Thomas had an unfair biological advantage over the women he was competing against. It pure cheating. And none of the female athletes were free to openly object for fear of retaliation. Nor did their universities or the ncaa stand up for them.
This was an injustice and a farce. Does not matter if it gives a semblance of meaning to your empty life.
After all, it's been reported in some press outlets that Thomas boasts of being "the trans Jackie Robinson."
It hardly seems comparable. Jackie Robinson moved up to compete against better quality athletes. Lia Thomas moved down to compete against lesser quality athletes.
Hopefully it will not be allowed. What is even the point of having women's sports if a biological male who "identifies" as female gets to take an NCAA or an Olympic spot from a female athlete? And it is all coercive. There was no attempt at compromise or fair play here, no attempt at balancing or justice or equality, just crude identity power politics. The female athletes Thomas cheated were told to just shut up and accept being treated as second class citizens.
Lia is a she. She shouldn’t be allowed to compete, however. Pretty much everyone agrees. The hateful rhetoric used when discussing the subject is sad but expected.
