Trans swimmer Lia Thomas asserts her commitment to fighting for trans inclusion in sports following the Trump administration's executive orders targeting transgender rights. The orders aimed to restrict trans participation in athletics and healthcare, declaring a rigid binary understanding of gender. In response to these policies, Thomas emphasizes solidarity among transgender individuals and the importance of self-affirmation for athletes competing in sports, underscoring the need for continued advocacy against these exclusionary measures.
"I am going to keep fighting as much as I am able to. In order to fight the battles we need to fight, we have to stick together and support [one another]."
"In recent years, many educational institutions and athletic associations have allowed men to compete in women's sports. This is demeaning, unfair and dangerous to women and girls."
