Don't know if someone has mentioned this in regard to the 'competitive swimming' issue. What if we got rid of "men's" and "women's" designations for swimming competitions and instead go with WEIGHT classes like Boxing, wrestling and lifting.
As for the "which" locker room thing, if they keep the parts and don't have unisex bathrooms they use the bathroom that matches their genitals. Or give the education construction industry a boost in building unisex pod type changing rooms. Think of them as sort of like those self cleaning public toilets in some major Cities.
This way, Thomas would be swimming competitively against those in the same weight class. Say, Thomas weights 185 pounds then Thomas swims only against those in the same weight class. It would mitigate the biological advantage. I'm guessing what would happen is "Ms. Thomas" would be primarily swimming against others of same birth type whether with a rudder or not.
The other is a psychological issue.
Why isn't what these athletes doing called sexual appropriation? Or be charged with microaggression on these campuses when they go into a locker room, but retain the genitals of the other sex? This is an example of those who do need a safe (changing) room.

Reason: more for clarity
BEAVERTON, OR—After carefully listening to feedback from a growing chorus of three of their customers, Nike is making some long-awaited improvements to their 2022 women's swimwear line. Nike's new "Performance Series" of one-piece competitive women's swimsuits will feature extra room in the crotch for male genitalia.
"We suddenly realized we weren't serving a very important segment of women competitors—those with male genitals," said Nike VP of Diversity and Inclusion Xandryx Bithrannamynx. "Now, women of all shapes and sizes will be able to compete in their favorite swim sports!"
Several product designers at NIKE questioned the decision, as the new swimsuits now fit much too loosely on 99.97% of female swimmers. Those product designers were immediately condemned as transphobes and fired—after which they were doxxed, removed from social media, frozen out of their bank accounts, condemned publically by President Biden, and beat up by a 327-pound trans woman named "Lila" before being dumped on the street to fend for themselves.

Not sure if weight classes would have any effect on the mitigation of advantages in swimming.
USA Swimming has issued their new policy which the NCAA is expected to follow moving forward. It is a much stricter policy then the generic NCAA policy and under it Lia Thomas would not qualify to compete against women.
There has been a recommendation made that if a Lia Thomas proto-type would not choose to compete with the men, they could participate under the women's umbrella, swimming in an exhibition lane but not officially placing against the women. This could be some what in line with a trans separate category. Their times and marks could be officially recorded by the NCAA in a trans female bracket.

actually the republican are more "pro-choice" than the demoncrats
a woman (or anybody) does have MANY choices
they choose to have sex or not
they choose to have protected sex or not
they choose to have sex with contraceptives or not
they choose to tell the man to put on a raincoat
they choose to use a diaphragm or not
once the TWO people created a lifeform, then it is NOT HER choice ONLY...the man certainly has a say in it..... if you doubt me, then why is it when women chooses to keep the baby, the FIRST thing they do is go after child support, saying "I didn't do this by my self, it takes two to tango"
the thing is it (abortions) should not be the first choice
why do we have 19-21 yr olds who have had 5 abortions...why have they not been given sex education, why are they not on a pill or some other form of birth control
I have no problem with abortions... you want to do that..go ahead...but don't expect me to pay (through taxes) for your choice
why should any insurance (private or government, or government grants) cover abortions....
you choose to have unprotected sex...you choose to have an abortion... then pay for your choice out of pocket....
