Gutfeld Mocks Lia Thomas For Telling Women How To Behave. Fox News\u2019 Greg Gutfeld chastised former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas for having the audacity to dictate behavior to women after Thomas, who falsely represents herself as a woman, implied that female athletes who berate Thomas for participating in women\u2019s sports are \u201ctransphobic\u201d but are afraid to express it.
\nSpeaking to former NCAA swimmer Schuyler Bailar, who self-identifies as a man, on Bailar\u2019s podcast, Thomas made the remarks, which included the accusation that treating men as men and women as women was based on \u201cpatriarchal ideas.\u201d When questioned about a letter that Thomas\u2019s female teammates wrote to the NCAA objecting to its regulations allowing Thomas to play women\u2019s sports, Thomas said,<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re sort of pushing transphobic attitudes under the cover of feminism. Many people in that group, in my opinion, harbor an unconscious prejudice against transgender people that they may not want to completely express or voice. They attempt to dismiss it as this kind of partial support as a result. I must give the swimmer some credit first. Lia has some serious balls, as Gutfeld teasingly said. \u201cYou gotta say that\u2019s pretty gutsy, to tell feminists how to be a feminist.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHumans dislike line cutters almost instinctively, almost biologically,\u201d the speaker claimed. \u201cWhen men in sports who identify as women win a lot, it feels like you\u2019re cutting in line.\u201d<\/p>\n
