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

  • This makes me very sad. I hope everyone notices the links from Kyle Deery's post. 

    USMS has a policy and it is being followed. I am sure the policy was well thought out at the time and debated. I am sure there will be discussions of changing the policy, but right now USMS is following the rules as written. 

    I think USMS should test WR and NR swimmers for PEDS, but I am not going to leave because they don't. 

    I understand this issue is not the same and people get much more emotional about it, but remember trans people are people and should be accommodated by some fair means.

    But is it fair to put one person's feelings over the fairness and respectable treatment of 50+ people?
