Former NCAA swimmer Lia Thomas has decided to leave the United States, expressing frustration with the pervasive hostility she encounters. In an interview with Media Matters, she shared her discontent, stating, \u201cEveryone is just so hateful. They won\u2019t stop calling me \u2018he\/him.\u2019\u201d
\n\"\"
\nOpting for a change of scenery, Thomas has chosen to relocate to either Montreal, Canada, or Paris, France, both recognized as havens for individuals seeking refuge from the United States due to their alternative lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Expressing a preference for Montreal to avoid the challenge of learning a new language, Thomas remarked, \u201cI\u2019m not really sure how to say \u2018she\u2019 in French.\u201d French spokesperson Joe Barron emphasized that the language itself is not overly concerned with individual pronoun usage but rather anticipates potential backlash in online comment sections.<\/p>\n

Barron explained, \u201cTypically when someone mentions Thomas, they use her preferred pronouns because, really, who cares? However, the replies tend to be predictably bigoted, like clockwork. There\u2019s some skepticism in the French community that this trend won\u2019t persist, and we certainly don\u2019t want \u2018LUI!\u2019 to become the new caps lock rage word.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
