The claim
トランスジェンダーの競泳選手が男性に戻ることを願っている
Original review summary
The review says the claim about Lia Thomas was not based on her own statement; it originated in an article from a site that describes itself as publishing parody, satire, and jokes. It also explains that the attached photograph was real but shared without its original context.[S1]
Additional context
The photo was taken on March 17, 2022, when Thomas became the first transgender NCAA swimming champion; the review says the image showed a moment after the official commemorative photo. [S1]
