Men Who Have Dominated Women’s Sports
The rise of “gender-affirming care” among medical professionals and subsequent acceptance among many on the Left has sparked numerous cultural battles, from bathrooms to classrooms. However, one of the most concerning consequences of radical gender theory is the threat it poses to girls and women’s sports.
The issue of men competing against women athletes has become increasingly prevalent, and it’s not just a hypothetical scenario. Men dominating women’s sports is a reality that many female athletes at the high school, college, and professional levels are facing. The following list provides an up-to-date rundown of men who have excelled in women’s sports.
Lia Thomas — Swimming
Former UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas made headlines in March 2022 when he won a national championship title in the 500-yard freestyle, defeating standout Virginia swimmer Emma Weyant. This victory sparked a national conversation about men competing in women’s sports. Thomas later competed in the 200-yard freestyle, tying Kentucky’s SEC-champion swimmer Riley Gaines. It’s worth noting that when Thomas competed in the men’s 200-yard freestyle, he ranked 554th overall. In the 500-yard freestyle, Thomas was ranked 65th overall among men before “transitioning” to female and emerging as the top performer in the women’s category.
Just months after Thomas’s success in the pool, some of his teammates spoke out about the challenges they faced in the locker room. One teammate mentioned that sharing a locker room with Thomas, who still has male body parts and is attracted to women, was definitely awkward.
Hailey Davidson — Golf
Hailey Davidson, a man who identifies as a woman, made waves in the world of golf when he won the NXXT Women’s Classic in January. With this victory, Davidson moved closer to qualifying for the LPGA Tour. Davidson’s success in women’s golf raises questions about the fairness of allowing men to compete against women in sports.

Laurel Hubbard, a transgender athlete from New Zealand, made history by winning gold at the Australian International & Australian Open in weightlifting. Competing in the heaviest category against women, Hubbard’s participation was approved by the International Olympic Committee and the International Weightlifting Federation. However, Hubbard’s Olympic journey was cut short after three failed lifts knocked him out of medal contention.
Fallon Fox — MMA
Fallon Fox, a transgender athlete, gained attention in the MMA world for dominating women fighters even before publicly disclosing that he was born male and underwent gender surgery. Commentators like Joe Rogan pointed out the physical advantage that Fox had over his female opponents. Despite facing criticism, Fox continued to compete against women and achieved a 5-1 record against them.
Sadie Schreiner — Track
Sadie Schreiner, formerly known as Camden Schreiner, transitioned from male to female and began breaking women’s track records at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Schreiner set a new school record in the 300m dash and later broke his own record in the 200m dash. These achievements sparked debate and raised concerns about the fairness of allowing transgender athletes to compete against women.
Kelly Morgan — Rugby
Kelly Morgan, a transgender athlete, plays on a women’s rugby team in Wales. Standing at nearly 6 feet tall, Morgan’s physical advantage has been a topic of discussion among teammates and opponents. While Morgan acknowledges the advantage, she continues to play rugby and expresses a desire to compete in the sport she loves.
Tiffany Abreu — Volleyball
Tiffany Abreu, a Brazilian man who identifies as a woman, started playing professional volleyball after undergoing a complete transition. Initially, Abreu didn’t think he could play in a women’s volleyball league, but after receiving an offer to play for women’s teams, he accepted. Abreu has faced criticism and questions about fairness due to the physical advantages that men typically have in sports.
Anne Andres — Powerlifting
Anne Andres, a 40-year-old man, set a women’s national powerlifting record and an unofficial women’s world record at a championship in Canada. His impressive performance surpassed the highest woman’s score by a significant margin. In a viral clip, Andres questioned why women’s bench press scores are comparatively low, acknowledging his physical advantages as a transgender athlete.
Andraya Yearwood — Track

Liz Kocab — Fencing
Liz Kocab, a transgender fencer, has achieved remarkable success in women’s fencing. Kocab has won multiple world championships in different age categories, showcasing his skill and dominance in the sport. However, his participation has raised questions about fairness and the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
Veronica Ivy — Cycling
Veronica Ivy, formerly known as Rachel McKinnon, won gold at the UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championship in the 35-44 age group. Ivy, who is also a philosophy professor, has been a vocal advocate for transgender athletes’ rights. However, the issue of men competing against women in sports remains a contentious topic.
These examples highlight the ongoing debate surrounding transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. While some argue for inclusivity and equal opportunities, others raise concerns about fairness and the potential disadvantages faced by female athletes. The discussion continues as society grapples with finding a balance between inclusivity and maintaining a level playing field in sports.
How does the participation of trans women in women’s sports affect fairness and integrity?
E physical advantages he possesses as a male. However, he has defended his decision to compete in women’s volleyball and remains dedicated to the sport.
These examples show clear instances of men excelling in women’s sports, often at the expense of female athletes. This raises important questions about the fairness and integrity of women’s sports. Women have fought long and hard to gain recognition and opportunities in sports, and the rise of radical gender theory threatens to undermine their achievements.
Supporters of gender-affirming care argue that allowing transgender individuals to compete according to their identified gender is a matter of inclusivity and equality. However, it is essential to acknowledge the biological differences between males and females that give males certain advantages in sports such as size, muscle mass, and bone density. Ignoring these differences undermines the very purpose of having separate categories for male and female athletes.
Moreover, the dominance of trans women in women’s sports can have both immediate and long-term consequences. In the short term, it robs female athletes of opportunities for success, recognition, and fair competition. Female athletes have worked tirelessly to compete at the highest level, and they should not be overshadowed by individuals who may have superior physical attributes simply because they were born male.
In the long term, the inclusion of trans women in women’s sports may discourage young girls from participating in sports altogether. If they feel that they cannot fairly compete against individuals with inherent physical advantages, they may be discouraged from pursuing their athletic dreams. This not only robs them of the physical and mental benefits of participating in sports but also perpetuates gender stereotypes and inequalities.
The issue of men competing against women in sports is complex and multifaceted, with no easy solutions. However, it is vital to strike a balance that acknowledges the rights and identities of transgender individuals while ensuring fair competition for female athletes. One potential solution could be the establishment of a separate category for trans women in sports, balancing inclusivity with fair competition.
Ultimately, it is crucial to have open and respectful conversations about these matters to protect the integrity of women’s sports while also respecting the rights and identities of all individuals. Finding a solution that acknowledges the unique challenges faced by both female athletes and transgender individuals is essential for a fair and equitable future of sports.
