Thomas has also stripped the women on the UPenn swimming team of their right to privacy in the locker room. Thomas has male genitalia and is attracted to women — and multiple team members have reportedly complained about his presence in the locker room making them uncomfortable. But one teammate, who spoke anonymously about the issue, said neither Thomas nor the school seems to care about their concerns.

“It’s really upsetting because Lia doesn’t seem to care how it makes anyone else feel. The thirty-five of us are just supposed to accept being uncomfortable in our own space and locker room for, like, the feelings of one,” the teammate said. “The school was so focused on making sure Lia was OK… that they didn’t even think about the rest of us.”

We would usually call exposing yourself to others without their consent sexual harassment or, at least, indecent exposure. Yet, Thomas’s teammates are told to get over it or change elsewhere. It is inappropriate and, frankly, a safety issue to tell women that they should ignore these very natural feelings of discomfort.
