Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Margot Kaczorowski recently appeared on Fox Business to discuss her ongoing lawsuit over the school’s decision to let transgender swimmer Lia Thomas compete in women’s swimming.
Thomas — a biological male who competed as a female — made headlines in 2022 after shattering women’s swimming records and winning the women’s 500-yard freestyle in NCAA Division I championship. He was even nominated for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.
In response, a group of female collegiate athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA arguing that letting Thomas compete in the 2022 national championship violated their federal rights under Title IX.
Stories like this are part of the reason many states — including Arkansas — have enacted laws that preserve fairness in women’s sports. In 2021 Arkansas passed Act 461 by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover) preventing male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school. This good law protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.
President Trump has taken executive action to protect fairness in women’s sports, but it’s important for colleges and the NCAA to be held accountable for the harm that their pro-transgender policies have caused to female athletes.
