If you play in competitive sports publicly, you are openly allowing people to criticize your performance in said sport.
That is quite literally how competitive sports work.
It directly has something to do with it though. She has claimed, again and again and again, that she would have been the best in her sport if not for trans women, when she came fifth behind four other cis women. Her activism actually got the NCAA to strip all titles from all trans women that have competed in the women's division, including Lia Thomas' fifth place finish against her. Let me repeat that, she is such a sore loser that she got the woman who tied with her for fifth place's title stripped.
Also, did you even read the article and watch the linked video? A senator literally says she would have been the best without Lia Thomas competing, and she goes along with that. https://youtu.be/WZDYue_p2lo
