"She" wants to enact revenge on those who don't subscribe to "her" ideology.
Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas Faces Backlash for Antifa 'Soldier' Shirt (msn.com)
Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has reportedly been photographed wearing an "Antifa Super Soldier" shirt.Thomas first began making national headlines in 2021, due to being transgender and defeating rival college swimmers by large margins. It ignited a debate about whether transgender swimmers, as in Thomas' case, should be allowed to compete against cis rivals of the female gender.
The conversation has only become more forceful since as swimmers competing against Thomas have voiced displeasure over squaring off against, as one Virginia Tech swimmer said last year, "someone who went through puberty as a male and has the body of a male."Andy Ngo, editor at The Post Millennial, on Monday tweeted a photo screenshot purportedly of Thomas wearing the Antifa-related attire, a reference to the anti-fascism organization composed of far-left-leaning militant groups that have in the past routinely gotten into clashes with neo-Nazis, white supremacists and members of the Proud Boys at various events.The Instagram account that allegedly posted the photo is a private account, and the relationship between the individuals is unknown. Newsweek reached out to the user via direct message and to Thomas via email and social media."Trans violent militancy is the current focus of #Antifa," Ngo wrote in the tweet accompanying the image. "They believe that critics of trans ideology should be silenced, maimed or murdered. Some call for sexual violence against females in particular, as revenge."
