Roughly a month after testifying before a House Judiciary subcommittee about former teammate Lia Thomas, Paula Scanlan is calling out the hypocrisy she sees from Thomas' supporters.

In July, Scanlan said the #MeToo movement "empowered female victims to speak up" about their experiences of sexual harassment and abuse.

In a piece she wrote for The Telegraph Wednesday, she called the movement "absorbed."

"One might wonder what happened to the #MeToo movement — a movement that seemed ideally positioned to advocate for the safeguarding of women’s safety from physical and sexual violence — during these recent gender debates," she wrote. "The obvious answer is that #MeToo was absorbed, as so sadly has been the case with many other women’s organizations in the U.S., into the Democratic Party

"They have prioritized the advancement of ‘trans rights’ over the concerns of women, in the mistaken belief that this is somehow more compassionate and progressive. It’s not too late for #MeToo-aligned organizations to change course and stand with women: we deserve safety, privacy, and equal opportunity in all areas of life, just like everybody else."

Scanlan noted she's had to "relive [her] trauma of [her] sexual assault by undressing in front of … Thomas," but sexual assault by transgender women has seemed to be neglected by the "women's organizations" she mentioned.

"It was not long ago that Americans across the political spectrum, including many left-leaning women involved in the #MeToo movement, recognized that male bodies pose an inherent risk to women’s safety," Scanlan wrote. "While we should all balk at broad-stroke mischaracterizations of trans-identifying people as all being potentially violent, we should keep in mind that the inherent biological characteristics and functions of male bodies pose a risk."

As a member of Penn’s women’s swimming team, Scanlan suggested that university officials disregarded the concerns of the members on the team and told them Thomas’ being a member of the team was "non-negotiable." 

"To sum up the university's response, we the women were the problem, not the victims. We were expected to conform, to move over and shut up. Our feelings didn't matter," she said in court last month.
