lia thomas a girl?

Every parent of every student I have tutored in the last/the past three years is alarmed by this: Lia Thomas. All but one of my students is currently involved in sports, and one girl was nationally ranked in high school. I don’t know the party affiliations of the parents, except for one, and he told me without my asking, and it’s none of my business anyway, but they are frightened for girls in sports.

Letter to NCAA March 20, 2022 [edited for brevity, nothing changed]

“My name is Reka Gyorgy from Hungary. I am a 2016 Rio Olympian, represented Virginia Tech for the past 5 years, a 2-time ACC champion, 2 time All-American and 3-time honorable mention All-America.

“With all due respect, I would like to address something that is a problem in our sport right now and hurting athletes, especially swimmers.

“Everyone has heard and known about transgender, Lia Thomas, and her case including all the issues and concerns that her situation brought into our sport.”
…

“I’m writing this letter right now in hopes that the NCAA will open their eyes and change these rules in the future. It doesn’t promote our sport in a good way, and I think it is disrespectful against the biologically female swimmers who are competing in the NCAA.
​

“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.”
…

“One spot was taken away from the girl who got 9th in the 500 free and didn’t make it back to the A final preventing her from being an All-American. Every event that transgender athletes competed in was one spot taken away from biological females throughout the meet.”
…
​

“I ask that the NCAA takes time to think about all the other biological women in swimming, try to think how they would feel if they would be in our shoes. Make the right changes for our sport and for a better future in swimming.”
