Female University of Pennsylvania teammates of trans swimmer Lia Thomas have been thrilled about the school’s move to ban biological men from competing on women’s teams.

The University of Pennsylvania agreed to block transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports after a federal civil rights investigation stemming from swimmer Thomas.

The US Department of Education announced the agreement, saying the Ivy League institution would apologise and restore to female athletes titles and records that were “misappropriated by male athletes”.

Thomas became the first trans athlete to win the highest US national college title in March 2022.

Thomas’ former teammate Margot Kaczorowski exclusively told the Daily Mail about her experience sharing a locker room with the trans athlete that she claims amounted to ‘sexual harassment.’

Now, we are hearing from a second former teammate of Lia Thomas.

Monika Burzynska told Fox News Digital that she began changing in the corner of the room and later in the stands when Thomas became part of the women’s swimming team.

The female Ivy League swimmers would often change in bathroom stalls or wait until the trans athlete was in the shower to undress.

“Around Lia, I wasn’t going to risk anything,” former UPenn swimmer Monika Burzynska recently told Fox News.

Burzynska, whose locker was right next to Thomas’ when they both joined the team in 2021, said she was uncomfortable changing in front of the male-born swimmer.

When it first began, she would often hunker in a locker-room corner to change.

Burzynska said that as the season dragged on, she became less and less comfortable with the situation and started waiting for Lia Thomas to be in the shower and away from their lockers to change.

Eventually, it got so bad that she would retreat into bathroom stalls or a private bathroom across the hall from the women’s locker room whenever she needed to undress, she said.

“He wasn’t very social,” Burzynska added of Thomas, explaining that they never exchanged more than passing words.
