Australian Olympian Calls For An End To Transgenders In Women’s Swimming

Another prominent woman in women’s swimming calls for the end of transgendered swimmers in women’s swim. 

Emma McKeon is the most decorated Australian Olympian. She spoke about how the topic has swept the sport at Griffith University. For all, a better future This week’s seminar

She stated that she wishes to see transgender athletes out of women’s swimming.

“I personally wouldn’t want to be racing against someone who is biologically a male, so that’s a concern,” McKeon said. “…Now that this is a problem, it’s important for the sport to consider how it can be managed and dealt with. You don’t want female swimmers competing against male biologically-bred swimmers, it’s unfair.

McKeon’s remarks come amid a transgender ideology battle in Australia. Katherine Deves, a candidate for the Sydney seat of the electoral division of Warringah, received backlash after she posted several messages supporting the separation of female and transgender athletes in sports, comparing her protests to speaking out against the Holocaust.

McKeon is second Olympian of the year who has spoken out against transgender movements in women’s athletics. In 2021, Erika Brown said that, “We cannot allow transgender females to compete against biological women.”
