Lia Thomas, a transgender woman who generated controversy by competing on the women's swim team at University of Pennsylvania, said she plans to keep swimming, with an eye on the Olympics.
"I'm a woman, so I belong on the women's team. Trans people deserve that same respect every other athlete gets," Thomas said.But by her sophomore year in college, Thomas said her gender dysphoria plunged her into a deep depression, and she struggled with suicidal thoughts.
She continued,"And I lost muscle mass and I became a lot weaker and a lot, a lot slower in the water." The NCAA then announced it would wait until next season to enforce the new guidelines, which cleared the way for Thomas to compete as a female at the 2022 NCAA championships. "There is going to be some loss to skeletal muscle mass, there is going to be some increase in body fat -- those would be the two most obvious things," Joyner said."But things like hand size, lung size, feet size -- that's not going to change much. And of course, because as you know, swimming, it's such an intense sport and people train so hard, that she is going to continue to have a significant exercise stimulus to those skeletal muscles.
