Erica Sullivan Shares Thoughts on Lia Thomas: ‘I Just Feel Bad For Her’

Whew!, you really don’t get it, do you. Everyone is so worried and concerned about how Thomas feels. How Thomas needs everyone’s support for being “brave” to openly be themselves. That’s cool, do you, you want to be called “Lia”, you will get called “Lia” just stop expecting everyone to like it and do cartwheels for a person who for the last 3yrs swam as a Man on UPenn’s Men Swim Team and was ranked 450th. Will “Lia” Thomas then proclaims in his last year at Upenn that he feels he’s a Woman and starts taking hormones. Thomas does a “Soul Man”(Soul Man is about a Young White Man who takes Pills that will darken his complexion to get a scholarship designated for African-American’s) “Lia” takes some pills and says he is a “Woman”. And just like that “Lia” gets to swim on UPenn’s Women s Swim Team without regard of how the Biological Women would feel. That their feelings, comfortability and safety didn’t matter, all that mattered was UPenn not being labeled “Transphobic” by the Transgender Bullies. You know The Transgender Bullies, they’re the ones that label anyone who doesn’t do cartwheels for Transgender Women get labeled “Transphobic”. Its wrong on all levels, look, do you Boo, do all you wish and live as you choose its when what you do impedes my life and my goals. You doing you shouldn’t take away from what I do, Thomas being on UPenn’s Women’s Swim Team negated the Biological Women who worked equally hard to be on UPenn’s Women Swim Team, to swim against other Women. They didn’t work hard for nearly 2/3 of their of their lives to have the chance to swim on UPenn’s Women’s Swim to be told, an exception has been made to allow a Biological Man swim against you, even though that is not what you signed up for. If you dare speak out against it, you’ll be labeled “Transphobic” and your life ruined. Which comes to my last comment, neither Thomas, NCAA nor UPenn took into consideration how this would affect the Biological Women on the Swim Team who now have to compete against a man, (2+2=4 DNA is DNA Thomas is biologically a man, no amount of pills, makeup or surgery will change this). One coach actually fixed his mouth to say “the Women complaining need to train harder, sounds like what you stated, you can’t wait to race against Thomas, well you couldn’t be more wrong. UPenn’s lack of respect for the Women on their swim team is funny, its called talking out the side of your neck. You say one think but do another, everyone HAS to accept and respect Thomas, at the same time UPenn disrespected the Biological Women on their Swim Team who just have to suck it up and swim harder(as if before they weren’t trying their hardest), is that fair?

What I find is very sad is seeing females throwing their fellow females under the transgender bus. Many women fought very hard for years for parity in sport and their work is being ignored by today’s woke society.

So basically she don’t care to lose on cheating. First time I heard someone defending the cheating. And she will be very upset when she loses against Lia, because she’s going to lose, not because she’s a bad swimmer, but because it’s not a fear competition. So sad to see women’s competitors to go along with their own destruction. Very sad.

Lots of emotions, both side, everyone is right. It is a legal issue. Lia is eligible to swim in the women’s team. We need legislation to exclude him, please, everyone, call your state representatives

Stop the bigotry you all if you had a clue about what you were talking about it would be different

This is not difficult. This guy, Thomas, is a male. All the wishing and hoping cannot alter that.

Women are taught from birth to put themselves last.

Lia Thomas, ummmm… no, he wants it all, including women’s medals. How woMANly.

You weren’t born a man.

I feel bad for Eric Sullivan that he actually calls him a her. Is Eric really that stupid?

I don’t think it’s fair for men to compete with women. They have an unfair advantage. However, it really isn’t Lia’s fault. It’s the fault of those in leadership of the sport. They are the ones who are not being reasonable or Fair. They are the ones who don’t seem to show any concern about women.

He (Lia) wants us to accept him for who he is, yet he can’t even accept himself for who he is. How does that work?

“Leo” Stop picking on the girls! Leo obviously wasn’t competitive competing as a man.

For her own psychological safety and wellbeing she should call it a day and realise this bombardment of negativity will never go away. Its not fair for the female swimmers or any other sport. Fine that she loves swimming and keeping healthy but competition should be left for biologically born females.

Sounds like Sullivan wants the challenge of competing against a guy.

Erica Sullivan has a good heart. She must be hard working and talented. She is also a BENEFICIARY of title IX that ensures women can complete in education system protected. without that, who would ask or care for your opinion right now.

I’ve always hated the expression “openly”.
What’s wrong with keeping one’s private feelings….well private
