This is Katie Ledecky, a cisgender woman with the exact same body type and built as Lia Thomas.

One of the most dominant athletes in their sport that you may have never heard of: Katie Ledecky

So everyone complaining that Lia is “bigger” and “stronger” no she isnt. If Katie Ledecky had the exact same build, muscle mass, and body but was trans instead of cis people would hate her just as much as Lia Thomas.
