“There is Nothing Fair About Transgender Woman Lia Thomas Competing for the University of Pennsylvania in NCAA Swimming” – Says US Olympic Champion Who Swam Against Doped Up East Germans


Nancy Hogshead-Makar says that men should not be able to compete against women in women’s sports. 

Then Nancy Hogshead won Olympic Gold back in 1984 in the Los Angeles Games in the 100 meter freestyle. She shared the gold with Carrie Steinseifer from the USA.

Today Hogshead-Maker says women should not have to compete against other women who are all jacked up on steroids and performance-enhancing drugs.
Why is this even controversial?

Nancy Hogshead-Makar wrote a piece for the Daily Mail where she discussed why it is so unfair for women to have to compete against men in women’s sports.  Here are a couple of her points.

Inclusion and fairness are two vital values in the world of sports.

Transgender women should be allowed to compete in women’s athletics, so long as these individuals can show that they’ve mitigated the athletic advantages that come with male puberty.

As an Olympic champion and as a civil rights lawyer, I can assure you that there is nothing fair about transgender woman Lia Thomas competing for the University of Pennsylvania in NCAA swimming.

Worse, her domination of the ‘women’s sports’ category is doing nothing to engender greater empathy for inclusive practices throughout society for the trans community.

I swam on the U.S. National Team for nine years, from 1976 – 1984, the same years that East German swimmers dominated women’s competitions by cheating with anabolic steroids.

I was able to win three Olympic gold medals and a silver medal because the East Germans boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

We all knew they were cheating. The boycott announcement was a relief; I knew I’d have a fair shot at winning.

My Olympic gold medals changed the trajectory of my life.

Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination, permits sex-segregation in sport – which means that, for the most part, men compete against men, and women compete against women.

We’ve written about Lia Thomas who leaves female swimmers in tears.
