Only in the sense everyone knew she turned every race she entered into a competitive joke.

Funnily enough other women swimmers didn't have need for men or non competitive swimmers to speak for them.

It's not that he won, but took a place away from a woman who didn't get a chance to go to the nationals events. He was in the men's swimming team a year or two before but was average in the male squad.
That's the sporting element
The fact he was allowed to enter women's changing rooms is outrageous and should never be allowed
Laws will be changed to be ban women's safety / privacy being compromised.
It's already beginning to happen in the UK too, world athletics and British cycling excluding all those who are not biological women.
Those who wish to identify as cats , trans, moons are in the open male category

True, but women's cycling groups are organising to change this.

It becomes obvious now that you look at the kind of crap conspiracy sites that Aurora does. The Daily Express is cheap for a reason.

Fair enough, although the article says 16 of her teammates anonymously supported a letter calling for the ban to stay in place.
The key word there might be 'anonymously', indicating a reluctance to speak up for fear of people bellowing 'transphobe'.
I can't see any genuinely elite sports man or woman supporting a measure which wrecks their competitive sport, and denies them any chance of winning.
Which is what the job is all about.

I thought it likely to be some kind of team rivalry. It sure happens; not that I pretend to know in this case.

If they're trans the correct pronoun is she. In which case what's the issue with being in the women's changing room?

If it's hormone-shrivelled then what is the problem? Too icky for you?
How do you react to people with deformities or facial disfigurements? Would you like them out of your changing rooms too?

Not that it adds much, but the article says the 16 were teammates or former teammates of Thomas.
Mind, as they were anonymous, who is to know?

Ahh right, another binary absolutist.
If they've had their testicles cut off and their penis turned inside out to make a 'vagina' are they still a bloke?

I think there's less chance of you changing your mind about anything you've decided on, this renders discussion futile.

You could have all the surgery, hormone supplements . If their body was to be dug up after a hundred years and their DNA was examined, it would reveal they were a male.
Every cell in the body has the markers indicating they were male or female.
You cannot change your sex.
