In a video released by the DailyMail, she also describes how other female swimmers hid from Lia Thomas. She explained:

Lia Thomas was ranked over 500th among male American collegiate swimmers before competing against women as a trans woman.

The decision to allow Thomas to compete in the women’s category of the NCAA championship in 2022 sparked ‘public outrage’. However, Lia went on to win the tournament, making her the first transgender to do so.
