Video: UPenn trans swimmer demolishes female competition by almost 40 seconds: ​'Just to show you how absurd this is'

University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas — formerly known as Will Thomas — has garnered national media attention in recent weeks for shattering collegiate swim records that were previously held by biological women, sparking fresh accusations of unfair competition.

Thomas, who competed as a male at the school during her freshman, sophomore, and junior years, decided to undergo a year of testosterone suppression treatment ahead of her senior year in order to compete as a female. To no one's surprise, the biological male is dominating the competition.

But it's one thing to hear about Thomas' newfound domination, and another thing entirely to see it. A new video that surfaced online shows just how wide the gap is between Thomas and the women competing against her

"Just to show you how absurd this is. Here’s the trans swimmer 'Lia' Thomas crushing all of the female competitors by 40 seconds," Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh tweeted in a caption to the video. "This is what that looks like in real time. A total farce."

The video showcases the tail end of Thomas's incredible performance during the 1,650-yard freestyle race at the Zippy Invitational Event in Akron, Ohio, during which Thomas bested the second-place finisher by an eye-popping 38 seconds.

During the video, the narrator quips that "the lefties have just gone a little too far with this one" while pointing out how fast Thomas swam in relation to the competition. He then painstakingly points out the numerous times that female swimmers make their turns and continue racing while Thomas rests having finished well ahead of them.

"Thomas is a 6-foot 3-inch strapping young man coursing with testosterone and here he is in a girls swimsuit competing with the girls," the narrator says.

Since the story started receiving national attention, at least two teammates of Thomas's have spoken out about the unfair situation. One anonymous teammate said last week that having Thomas on the team is something that "secretly everyone just knows it’s the wrong thing to do."

“When the whole team is together, we have to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, go Lia, that’s great, you’re amazing.’ It’s very fake,” the team member told Outkick.

Another teammate expressed that the entire team is "angry" over the situation.

"They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose," she explained. "Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they’re going to win and give it all they’ve got."

"Now they’re having to go behind the blocks knowing no matter what, they do not have the chance to win. I think that it’s really getting to everyone," the female swimmer continued.

The team member added that amazingly Thomas, unfazed by the criticism, has been bragging about being No. 1 in the country amongst female swimmers.

"Well, obviously she’s No. 1 in the country because she’s at a clear physical advantage after having gone through male puberty and getting to train with testosterone for years," the swimmer said. "Of course you’re No. 1 in the country when you’re beating a bunch of females. That’s not something to brag about."

Thomas responded to some of the criticism recently in a podcast interview with SwimSwam.
