23-year-old Thomas broke the record for women’s swimming as a member of the Women’s Swimming Team at the University of Pennsylvania. She was also a lightning rod for questions about the future of women’s sports.

At Piers Morgan Uncensored, Jenner, who won the Olympic gold medal, did not hesitate.

“Lia Thomas is one of the worst things that happened to the transgender community because it’s so badly advertised,” Jenner told Morgan.

“I have met so many great transgender people, done so many great things, and lived their lives in real life.”

Born as a biological man, Thomas is now aiming to host the Olympics.

“I hope it’s over because Lia Thomas has graduated from college. I hope she has a wonderful life,” Jenner said. “She’s not easy to be transgender. She hopes she enjoys the rest of her life and has a good life for her.”

When Jenner came out as a woman, he was initially welcomed as a role model and pioneer. However, she accused Thomas and other male-to-female athletes of having an unfair advantage in sports competitions.

“We have to protect women’s sports. Anyway. What Lear has done is to defeat biological women and win the Division I National Championship, which is competitive with what sports represent. It’s a dislike of the spirit, “Jenner wrote earlier this month.

She said Morgan had almost canceled her appearance after an explosive interview with former US President Donald Trump.

“Why? I saw what you did to the respected President Donald Trump, so as he walked, you sensationally evaluated the promotion and accumulated ratings, and I Was part of it that I didn’t want to be myself, so I canceled it, “she told the exaggerated Brit.

“But since then I support what I did, but since then we have had the opportunity to talk to your producer. I’m sure you won’t do it to me.”
