    A female college swimmer who competed against Lia Thomas said
    she and others felt “extreme discomfort” sharing a locker room
    with the transgender athlete.

    Riley Gaines, who competed on behalf of the University of
    Kentucky against Lia Thomas and was also nominated for the
    National Collegiate Athletic Association Woman of the Year
    award, told Tucker Carlson she was never notified she’d be
    sharing a locker room with someone who had “different parts.”

    “That’s not something we were forewarned about, which I don’t
    think is right in any means, changing in a locker room with
    someone who has different parts,” Gaines said. “So not only were
    we forced to race against a male, we were forced to change in
    the locker room with one.”

    Gaines has been critical of Thomas’s participation in women’s
    collegiate swimming, saying the NCAA failed to protect the
    integrity of women’s sports.

    "Is this really happening?" Gaines recalled saying. “We’re
    sitting there not even knowing who to talk to, who to complain
    to, because this kind of all happened behind the scenes and very
    discreetly."

    Earlier this month, Gaines slammed Thomas’s nomination for the
    NCAA Woman of the Year award, calling the award “worthless.”

    Being the real girl in that photo and also University of
    Kentucky's nominee for NCAA WOTY, this is yet another slap in
    the face to women. First a female national title and now
    nominated for the pinnacle award in collegiate athletics. The
    @NCAA has made this award worthless.

    Penn nominated transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as their NCAA
    woman of the year. Hell of an accomplishment to be woman of the
    year after only being a woman for a couple of years. https://outkick.com/lia-thomas-nominated-for-ncaas-woman-of-the-

    This award combines athletic performance with academics,
    service, and character. What character has Thomas shown other
    than sheer selfishness and entitlement? The disrespect and
    disregard for the other female athletes in Thomas' interviews is
    eye opening.

    “This is yet another slap in the face to women. First a female

    Earlier this week, the NCAA announced Thomas would not be
    eligible for Woman of the Year honors.
