Lia Thomas identifies as transgender. She was born as a guy and subsequently opted to have gender reassignment surgery.
So yes, Lia Thomas transitioned surgically to a girl. She just became popular after shattering the majority of women’s university records.
Before the switch, she competed as Will Thomas for three years. To participate as a woman, one must undergo one year of testosterone suppression medication, according to NCCA rules.
Lia’s actions have earned her a lot of flak. On social media, people are divided into two camps: those who support Lia and those who slander her. Her pre-surgery photos have gone viral on the internet.
Lia is honored to represent the LGBTQ community on the sports field, but she is also dedicated to providing a safe environment for her community on the field.
