“Days of Our Lives” has promoted publicist Lia Maiuri to Vice President of Communications. The new role will have her tasked with overseeing publicity, talent relations, social and promotional marketing for “Days of Our Lives” and any spin-offs or movies, the show’s creator and executive producer Ken Corday announced Wednesday.“As we have embarked on a new venture of transitioning from NBC after 57 years to Peacock, Lia has handled the move with grace and passion,” Corday told TheWrap.

ABC News and ESPN in an interview that aired on Good Morning America. “People will say, ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage, so she could win.’ I transitioned to be happy, to be true to myself.”Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle at the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in March, just a month after 16 of her teammates wrote a letter to the school and the Ivy League saying that Thomas should not be competing against women. She also placed fifth in the 200-yard freestyle and eight in the 100-yard freestyle at the championships.Thomas said she fell in love with swimming at age 4, but began experiencing feelings of gender dysphoria as she grew up, saying she didn’t feel like a boy.

Hillbilly Elegy, and Josh Mandel, the former Ohio state treasurer and two-time U.S. Senate candidate who is back for his third run,  blames Democrats and President Biden for NCAA rules that allow transgender females to compete on women’s sports teams in her most recent campaign commercial, reports The Hill..Given Vance and Mandel’s previous appeals to social conservatives by attacking the transgender and two-spirit communities, Timken, the third of three frontrunners in the GOP field — who heretofore was viewed as the more “establishment” figure — is hoping the ad gains traction and allows her to consolidate Republican primary voters behind her campaign.Thomas, who previously competed for UPenn’s men’s swimming team during her first three years in college, has particularly become a favorite target of conservatives, who balk at the idea that she was allowed to compete in women’s swimming after having received hormone therapy for two-and-a-half years (under NCAA rules, trans women are able to compete after finishing a year of hormone therapy).

an open letter posted to her private Instagram account, Reka Gyorgy, who previously competed for her home country of Hungary in the 200-meter backstroke at the 2016 Summer Olympics, blamed the NCAA for its “decision to let someone who is not a biological female compete” in women’s swimming events, according to Fox News.“With all due respect, I would like to address something that is a problem in our sport right now and hurting athletes, especially female swimmers,” the post read. “Everyone has heard and known about transgender swimmer, Lia Thomas, and her case including all the issues and concerns that her situation brought into our sport.“I’d like to point out that I respect and fully stand with Lia Thomas; I am convinced that she is no different than me or any other D1 swimmer who has woken up at 5am her entire life for morning practice. She has sacrificed family vacations and holidays for a competition.

Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, has pushed back against the critics who say she doesn’t belong on the women’s team.

Megan Thee Stallion, 27, isn’t holding back against Tory Lanez, 29, after the Playboy rapper seemed to call her a liar in a tweet, after a court date for a 2020 shooting incident was postponed to April. The Good News rapper shared an alleged text from Tory in a since deleted Instagram post on Wednesday February 23.

Lia Thomas is getting a lot of love and support from the swimming community.
