it's so hard not to be confused

Iszac Henig (L) defeated Lia Thomas (R) at the recent Ivy League swim meet (Yale Univers, University of Pennsylvania

The University of Pennsylvania’s transgender swimmer, Lia Thomas, was defeated by another transgender swimmer.

 

The record-shattering Thomas previously competed on the Penn men’s team and has transitioned to female.

 

But at an Ivy League swim meet Saturday, a Yalie, Iszac Henig, defeated Thomas in both the women’s 100- and 400-yard freestyle races, the Daily Mail reported.

Henig, who is transitioning from female to male, set a record for the women’s 50-yard freestyle, the outlet said.

 

Henig was able to compete on the women’s team because she had yet to start testosterone treatment, according to a June piece in The New York Times.

 

Henig wrote: “As a student-athlete, coming out as a trans guy put me in a weird position. I could start hormones to align more with myself, or wait, transition socially and keep competing on a women’s swim team. I decided on the latter.”
