Paula Scanlan, a spokeswoman and advisor for the Independent Women’s Forum, offered testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, speaking about her experience swimming against male athlete Lia Thomas while she was a student athlete at the University of Pennsylvania.
Scanlan, who holds the New England Independent School League record in the 400-yard freestyle relay, discussed what it was like to be on the UPenn women’s swim team when a male athlete came onto the team, claiming to be a woman after having begun to take estrogen.
