Perhaps the first swimmer from the recent NCAA women’s championship to publicly speak out about this injustice to female athletes.

Every event that transgender athletes competed in was one spot taken away from biological females throughout the meet.

Decent article in the BBC. But it stops short. We must stop denying reality. Two current elite runners say effectively, ”stop the madness!” There are many more female athletes saying the same.
The British athletes, one of whom is an Olympian, believe athletes should only be allowed to compete in the category of their biological sex.
The athletes who spoke to BBC podcast The Sports Desk have asked to remain anonymous for fear of social media backlash and losing sponsorship deals.
"We have seen at the Olympics last year trans women being included in the female category, and that then takes away an opportunity for one woman to be called an Olympian, and that is something we all dream of." - elite female athlete.
Athlete B said: "We've made great strides in encouraging women into sport.
"This is actually excluding more women from sport and it will slowly turn around so then we won't have a female category any more, but it will be just taken over by trans women who are biologically male."
"I haven't actually spoken to another athlete that doesn't feel the way I feel," said athlete A. "Every single female athlete I've spoken to is scared to speak out."
The BBC secured one revealing rebuttal from an actual Trans-athlete. Here’s what Trans-Athlete racing driver Charlie Martin had to say. (Charlie drives a machine!)
"You look at people like Ian Thorpe, the swimmer - he had size 17 feet and hands to match, he basically had four flippers on the end of his limbs," she told BBC Sport. "The guy won gold medals and did anyone turn round to say 'well, that's not fair, he's got a massive advantage'?
But that obviously misses the point for all athletes that don’t drive machines! No woman on the planet could match Ian Thorpe’s length of bone naturally given to him by testosterone.
None.
Get the point.
We may extend a wide range of civil rights to confused people. But let’s not affirm their confusions. And by doing so, deny justice to women.
Like the ACLU wants to do.
