On Wednesday night, the NCAA updated its policy regarding transgender participation in sports in the wake of the massive controversy surrounding Lia Thomas, a female swimmer at Penn.
Thomas, who previously competed on the men’s team, is in the midst of breaking numerous records and it has upset just about everybody, including Caitlyn Jenner.
During an appearance on Fox News, the Olympic gold medalist railed against transgenders competing against biological women.
“I don’t know why she’s doing this,” Jenner said. “She knows when she’s swimming she’s beating the competition by two laps. She was born a biological boy. She was raised as a biological boy. Her cardiovascular system is bigger, her respiratory system is bigger, her hands are bigger, she can swim faster. That’s a known.”
The newest policy from the NCAA “aligns transgender student-athlete participation for college sports with recent policy changes from the U.S. and International Olympic Committees.”
Jenner said the NCAA needs to “protect women’s sports.”

“All of this woke world that we are living in right now is not working,” she added. “I feel sorry for the other athletes that are out there, especially at Penn or anybody she’s competing against because in the woke world you have to say, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is great’ and on and on and on. No, it’s not. We need to protect women’s sports and the NCAA needs to make the right decision tomorrow, and I think that is probably to stop this right now. Rethink it.”
