Five-time gold medalist calls biological males competing against women unfair

Five-time Olympic gold medalist Emma McKeon called it unfair that biologically male swimmers can dominate and compete against biologically female athletes.

McKeon, a champion swimmer and Australia's most decorated Olympian, made the comment Thursday when asked about the place of transgender athletes at an event for women in sports

...

"I personally would not want to be racing against someone who is biologically a male," she said.

"I have not had to, and at the moment, I think it is just in the college system in America."

College swimming in the United States has gained global attention in the last year due to the rise of University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas.

The success of the transgender student-athlete, who swam for Penn's men's swimming team for three years in NCAA Division I competition, culminated in a women’s 500-yard NCAA championship win.

McKeon, 27, said there must be rules to balance fairness and inclusion.

"I do not think that I am going to have to race against a trans swimmer. I do not think it is going to come to that point," she said.

"But I think it's definitely up to the sports. You want to be inclusive, but you can't have the females racing against someone who's biologically male, because it's just not fair."

McKeon has captured 11 Olympic medals — five gold, two silver, and four bronze.

I hope Emma is ready to be cancelled by the left. Or is that right in Australia?

She should complain to her fellow females.
They’re the retards who pushed, and voted for, faggots on society.
This is just the logical conclusion of their voting for deviant behaviors.

Toilets are appropriate in this matter.

I remember the blonde chick in her bathing suit, that’s not a knife, and when he “groin checks” to see if it was a man or woman.

Sounds like more loser talk, men are just better at being women then women, wha??? I bet those trannies can even bitch and moan about the inequity of it all better than real girls. Probably why majority of babies murdered are girls. But remember real ladies it’s the conservatives waging the war on women. Keep voting the same way. Next up the singularity and sex robots. Girls better figure it out quick before they not even needed. As group, man they are stupid

Cancelled?

He needs to be stripped of all his medals, bankrupted, professionally destroyed, disgraced with child molesting charges (trumped up if need be - it's all for the cause...), thrown in jail for life and there have have molten lead poured down his throat!

There can be absolutely no tolerance for this type of intolerance and any trace of it must be hunted down and utterly and mercilessly destroyed!

That will show those who are not inclusive enough that we mean business!

They are largely followers and not independent thinkers.
Men take more risks and aren’t afraid to fight for what they believe in, even if alone in their fight.

“McKeon, 27, said there must be rules to balance fairness and inclusion.”

And there she goes SPLAT with the belly flop. Screw “inclusion” as a metric for a fair society. I don’t want to include freaks and perverts in my world or my children’s world.
