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."

Other controversies have stemmed from the debate about transgenderism,
leading to major economic fallout—especially for Bud Light and
Anheuser-Busch, which has taken a massive hit following a partnership
with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney months ago that resulted in a
whirlwind of social critiques and lost revenue.

Riley Gaines, a former University of Kentucky swimmer who competed
against Thomas, has become a rising voice against Thomas' ability to
participate in the same arena as cis females—previously labeling Thomas'
more recent accomplishments as "utter disregard and disrespect towards
women who have dedicated their entire lives to their sport."

Gaines opined on Thomas wearing the Antifa attire, writing Monday in a
tweet, "Doesn't this make so much sense."

"I haven't specifically bashed Lia Thomas on anything (other than
calling him an entitled narcissist which I stand by) because ultimately
he was following the rules in place," Gaines wrote. "But this is
disturbing."

Other Twitter accounts, including Libs of TikTok, also shared the image
of Thomas while criticizing Antifa.

Gaines has supported a "Save Women's Sports" movement that most
Americans agree with based on certain polling.

While more U.S. citizens now know someone who is transgender compared to
a couple of years ago, more of them also believe that transgender
athletes should only be allowed to compete on teams that conform with
their birth gender, according to a Gallup survey from 2022.
