Caitlyn Jenner claims that Penn Swimmer's accomplishments and achievements should not
be counted by pointing out the transgender athlete Lia Thomas. She has been the champ in
the recent NCAA championship.
Jenner says that Emma Weyant, the native of Sarasota, is only the rightful winner who stood
as the runner up by 1.75 seconds in the women's freestyle race.
Strongly argues
Jenner also strongly argues that Weyant is the one who deserves the 1st position as it was
the women’s 500-yard freestyle race.
Jenner tweeted on Tuesday saying that it is not something like anti-trans or not transphobic,
but it is all about common sense.
Supported Thomas
Also, 72-year-old Jenner completely supported Thomas' decision by saying that Thomas
was being true to her own self.
Jenner's stand is only that women's sports are needed to be protected. It will be completely
unfair and disadvantageous if trans athletes like Thomas compete against biological women.
NCAA said that the organization decided the participation of the transgender athletes would
be determined by an approach that differs from one sport to another.
Thomas started his career in 2017 at Penn in the men's team and had also marked some of
the fastest times in the country. Then In early 2019, Thomas underwent hormone
replacement therapy and came out as trans into the public later that year.
