A female fencer, Stephanie Turner, disqualified for refusing to compete against a transgender opponent, has been invited to testify before Congress. USA Fencing's chairman, Damien Lehfeldt, who supports transgender inclusion in women’s sports, will also testify. Lehfeldt advocates for the rights of transgender athletes to compete as their identified gender, influencing the ongoing debate about fairness and inclusion in competitive sports. He emphasizes that while transgender athletes may have advantages, supporting their participation fosters a sense of belonging, highlighting the societal implications over purely athletic concerns.
"Transgender fencers deserve the right to compete with the gender they identify with, and those of adult age should comply with the competition guidelines and regulations outlined by USA Fencing and the IOC."
"Women’s sports are for women only. Radical leftists pushing to let biological men compete against women are destroying fair competition and putting female athletes in physical danger."
