Trans girls/biological males competing against females

03FM3

I'm hoping USMS follows the example of other sports organizations and disallows biological males who are trans females to compete against biological females.  The question of fairness/unfairness is so obvious that this topic shouldn't even need discussion, but unfortunately some of us are so blinded by the sacrosanct idea of "inclusion" that we've allowed this ridiculous idea to take hold.  Please take a fair stand on this issue.  Mike Sherrill

  • It's my understanding that a trans female won several events at the recent nationals. I wholeheartedly agree with Mike Sherrill who so eloquently described the ridiculous position held by USMS. I will not renew my membership if USMS continues to allow trans females to compete against biological females and I will encourage others to do the same. "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who take a position of neutrality in a period of moral crisis." (Winston Churchill) I encourage all Masters swimmers need to let their position be known, either in this forum or by not renewing their membership.               Mark Thompson

    I, nor the other members of my family, will not be renewing if the policy isn't changed.  I encourage others to stand up for fairness in sport as well.
