“Natalie” Washington’s claim that Lia Thomas is only 5’8″ is not holding up very well.
Who ya gonna believe, your lyin’ eyes or “Natalie”?

Oh, but she identifies as 5’8″.
Lia is standing on a box.
She’s standing on a box in all the pictures.
Lia is wearing heels?
Does she swim with box as well?
I’m 5’9″. ‘Lia’ looms over Anna about the same amount my husband does over me. He is 6’4″. And thinks the trans athletes are cheating.
I was just checking on the internet; most of the sites say 5’8″, one says 5’7″. A couple of sites say 6’1″. The most believable had “her” at 6’4″.
5’8″ is not a normal size for someone who used to swim on the men’s team. Immediately very suspicious. Swimmers tend to be quite big dudes, with extra large hands and feet.
And probably very short women don’t usually make the swim team either, for the same reasons, right? They’d have to be very short for 5’8″ Lia to loom over them the way he does.
My guess is that there’s a Penn 2020 mens swim roster somewhere on the web with individual stats and palmares. Dollar to donut, Will will be listed at 6’3 or 6’4 and 190-200 pounds… Or 6’8 in heels…
How tall was he when he swam on the men’s team?
I’m reminded of that famous experiment in social conditioning where subjects were told they were being put in a group being tested on ability to judge proportions. The other “subjects,” however, were stooges. The instructor would then show large cards with two lines, asking “which is longer, A or B?” and the verbal responses would go round the room. The actual subject was at or near the end. And as the experiment progressed the stooges started giving the wrong answer to increasingly disparate lines. And the actual subject would agree with them — and defend their choice.
“Which is longer?”
A. ————
B.—————-
“A…A…A…A…A…” “Uh… A.”
“Who is shorter?”
“Lia … Lia … Lia … Lia … Lia …”

Six three sounds about right to me. So the box Lia lugs around to jump up on whenever it’s picture time is only seven inches tall.
Of course it’s a joke, folks. Mostly about my grandma. See, in every picture of my grandfather he looked so dark because he was in the shade. No way it was because he wasn’t white. Just liked to stand in the shade.
Different denials for different times.
One of my friends is considerably taller than her husband, but on their wedding photos they look the same height. This isn’t because he stood on a box, it’s because, since she was wearing a full wedding dress, she could sort of crouch down a bit without anyone seeing.
It surprised me, she normally glorifies in looming over him.
