Photo showcases transgender swimmer Lia Thomas rocking ‘Antifa Super Soldier’ t-shirt

Lia Thomas, the “transgender woman” who made headlines for competing against biological women in the women’s NCAA swimming championships, has revealed his true leftist colors.

In an Instagram Story published last week, Thomas showed himself proudly wearing a t-shirt labeled “Antifa Super Soldier.”

Below is a screenshot of the post:

Notice how the Twitter user, “Winston,” seemed unsurprised by this development. How come? Probably because most transgender people are far-leftists — the very type, in fact, who’d view Antifa domestic terrorists as the good guys.

Mind you, the signs were already there. Like the time earlier this year when Thomas slammed so-called “anti-feminists” for their “transphobic beliefs”:

“They’re using the guise of feminism to sort of push transphobic beliefs. I think a lot of people in that camp sort of carry an implicit bias against trans people but don’t want to, I guess, fully manifest or speak that out. And so they try to just play it off as this sort of half support,” he said during a podcast interview, according to Fox News.

Feminists are usually leftists, as are those who use terms like “transphobic.” And all leftists are usually glaring hypocrites. Thomas appears to be no different. After all, despite proclaiming to be a feminist, he’s become famous screwing over actual women.

Last year, a former Olympic swimmer and college athlete penned a letter to the NCAA accusing Thomas of having essentially stolen her spot in the 2022 NCAA finals by beating her in a 500-meter free swim race.

“I’m a 5th year senior. I have been top 16 and top 8 before and I know how much of a privilege it is to make finals at a meet this big. This is my last college meet ever and I feel frustrated. It feels like that final spot was taken away from me because of the NCAA’s decision to let someone who is not a biological female compete,” she wrote.

“I know you could say I had the opportunity to swim faster and make the top 16, but this situation makes it a bit different and I can’t help but be angry or sad. It hurts me, my team, and other women in the pool … Every event that transgender athletes competed in was one spot taken away from biological females throughout the meet,” she added.

Thanks to Thomas, young women have also faced intimidation.

Last month, one of Thomas’ former fellow teammates at the University of Pennsylvania recalled to conservative radio show host Matt Walsh how she and her other teammates were pressured to accept Thomas on their team.

Former teammate Paula Scanlan specifically recalled a meeting during which she and the other biological girls on the team were told that Thomas’ spot on the team was “non-negotiable” and were warned that dissenting could lead to issues.

“After that meeting, they really scared us. It was scary, and I was petrified. I went home that night and I called my brother and said, ‘Can I even talk about this with you? Is there something wrong with me for thinking that this is wrong?’” Scanlan said.

“It worked. The university wanted us to be quiet, and they did it in a very effective way. They continued to tell us that our opinions were wrong and that if we had an issue with it, we were the problem. And it’s frightening, and your future job is on the line. And after that point, no one would talk about it anymore. They effectively silenced us even within talking to each other,” she added.

Listen:

And then there’s this: “Several female swimmers on the University of Pennsylvania’s team reportedly admitted that they lost the drive to compete because they knew it was ‘impossible’ to beat Thomas,” the Independent Women’s Forum reported last year.

Of course, Thomas isn’t the only “transgender woman” screwing over actual women.

“Linnea Saltz, who competed on Southern Utah University’s track team, said her teammates were forced to run against a male-to-female transgender athlete in 2020 who went on to win first place in the indoor mile. In the middle of that race, Saltz said she overheard the transgender athlete’s coach tell the runner to ‘slow down,'” according to the IWF.

Saltz later testified before Utah’s legislature.

“As all of these women are putting everything that they have on the line to go ahead and race their best time of the season as fast as they can, the person that is beating them is being told to slow down,” she said.

“Taking away our opportunities will run us out of the sports world, which we already had to fight so hard to be a part of,” she added.
