Controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas is taking secret legal action in a bid to overturn a ban on biological males competing alongside women – and hopes to take part in the Paris Olympic trials, according to a report.
Thomas, 24, has hired the Canadian law firm Tyr to ask the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland to overturn the rules imposed by World Aquatics after she became the first openly trans person to win an NCAA Division I title, the Telegraph reported.
She has not competed since 2022, when World Aquatics introduced rules that prohibit anyone who has undergone “any part of male puberty” from the female category.
Prior to that, trans women were allowed to compete if they lowered their testosterone levels.
Tyr describes its staff as “fearless advocates” who have been involved in “high-stakes and precedent-setting cases” – but those brought before the CAS are controversially heard behind closed doors unless those involved agree to publicize them, according to the outlet.

When Thomas took up the case at the tribunal in September, World Aquatics applied to have it thrown out because she had not submitted herself to the jurisdiction of USA Swimming, the Telegraph reported.
A month before Thomas’ March 2022 NCAA win, USA Swimming imposed stricter transgender regulations, which stopped short of an outright ban but required regular monitoring of such athletes’ testosterone levels.
“It’s been a goal of mine to swim at Olympic trials for a very long time, and I would love to see that through,” she told “Good Morning America” less than a month before World Aquatics introduced its own policy in June 2022.
Thomas’ case is unlikely to be heard in time for her to qualify for this summer’s Olympics, according to the outlet.

The deadline for entry to the trials is June 4, but she would have to win the case several weeks earlier to allow her the opportunity to submit times in May that would be good enough for her to enter the trials that begin June 15, the Times of London reported.
World Aquatics declined to comment on Thomas’s legal challenge.
Its executive director, Brent Nowicki, said in a statement to the Telegraph: “The World Aquatics policy on gender inclusion, adopted by World Aquatics in June of 2022, was rigorously developed on the basis of advice from leading medical and legal experts, and in careful consultation with athletes.

“World Aquatics remains confident that its gender inclusion policy represents a fair approach and remains absolutely determined to protect women’s sport,” he added.
It is unknown when Thomas transitioned from male to female, but the swimmer competed as a man as recently as November 2019

What do you think? Post a comment.
She has always denied transitioning to be successful.
“The biggest misconception, I think, is the reason I transitioned,” she said in 2022. “People will say, ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage, so she could win.’ I transitioned to be happy, to be true to myself.”

They need to keep that ban

 

[Genos]

Uh oh, here comes nikkas pretending they care about women's swimming

Uh oh, here comes nikkas pretending they care about women's swimming

It's not about women's swimming.
It's about the precedent it sets for all other sports.

 

[Houston911]

This is insane

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Better go swim in the special Olympics

 

[Youngdev]

Transitioning to a female cause you trash at men’s swimming is some diabolical shyt

 

[Genos]

It's not about women's swimming.

What women's sports do you actively watch?

 

[Lord_nikon]

More like leon thomas

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

It's not about women's swimming.
It's about the precedent it sets for all other sports.

And yet not one transgender has managed to smoke a woman in any Olympic sport.

And no transgender man had come close to putting up a challenge against a natural man.

This shyt is fake outrage. These people are not built(don't ask me how) to compete with organic males or females. Wake me when one actually is dominant in swimming, track, weightlifting, greco roman wrestling or is an Ace in a team sport.

Also, I watch women's college basketball and women's tennis.

Nobody has to care about women's swimming to see take objection with scammers in women's sports.

It is fake outrage. Caused by Lia. Just compete in the men's division. It's an open division anyway. Why is Lia causing this bs?

 

[Luke Cage]

Give trannies their own category. All this outrage would go away if they stood tall as their own group instead of trying to bully their way into another.
Black People fought a civil rights movement to be treated equally to white people, not to be treated as if we are white people and no longer black.
Its easier to respect them as their own group than it is to pretend women and trans are the same thing. i blame zay for empowering them

 

[Genos]

Nobody has to care about women's swimming to see take objection with scammers in women's sports.

It's just, why not just say "I just don't want trans people to participate in public life." Why hide behind something you don't give two shyts about? It makes it so disingenuous
