Surfing Icon Says She’ll Boycott Professional Tour Over Transgender Competitors
Says hormone levels alone don’t determine what a woman is.
American surfing icon Bethany Hamilton has vowed to boycott the professional tour over a rule change that allows biological males who identify as women to compete against female surfers.
Hamilton took the stance after the World Surf League (WSL) announced it would comply with the policies of the International Surfing Association (ISA) when it comes to transgender surfers.
Athletes born men can compete in female divisions if they maintain a testosterone level less than five nmol/L (nanomoles per litre) for 12 months.
WSL chief Jessi Miley-Dyer said the policy was important in order to “balance equity and fairness.”
However, Hamilton took to Instagram to complain that testosterone levels alone don’t determined what a woman is.
“Is a hormone level an honest and accurate depiction that someone indeed is a male or female? Is it as simple as this?” she asked.

Hamilton speaking out on the issue is a big deal because of her high profile and success in the sport. She has been featured in a number of television specials and documentaries after losing her arm to a shark attack when she was a child and overcoming it to compete at the highest level.
“I personally won’t be competing in or supporting the World Surf League if this rule remains,” said Hamilton, adding, “This concerns me as a professional athlete who has been competing for the last 15-plus years.”
The surfer said she decided to go public in order to “stand up and speak up for those in a position that may feel they can’t say something about this.”
“I think many of the girls who are on tour are not in support of this new rule, and they fear being ostracised if they speak up,” said Hamilton.
She also noted how sports where similar policies were introduced, such as swimming, running, and MMA, were being dominated by biological men identifying as transgender.
“Who is pushing for this huge change? Does this better the sport of surfing? Is this better for the women in surfing? If so, how?” she demanded to know.
Hamilton argued that a new division should be created solely for transgender athletes in order to protect the female division.
“I think it’s really hard to imagine what the future of women’s surfing will be like in 15-20 years down the road if we move forward allowing this major change,” she concluded.
As we highlighted last year, swimming’s world governing body slapped a total ban on transgender athletes that have gone through any form of male puberty from taking part in women’s competitions.

World Athletics Bans Trans
Biolgogical males will not be allowed to compete in women’s athletics
The World Athletics international governing body has announced that it will not allow trans identifying biological males to compete against biological women.
Lord Sebastian Coe, president of the body stated that as of March 31 no athlete who has gone through male puberty will be permitted to compete in female world ranking competitions.
Coe noted that further research will be undertaken on the matter, saying “We’re not saying no forever,” adding that the decision for now has been “guided by the overarching principle which is to protect the female category.”
“The majority of those consulted stated that transgender athletes should not be competing in the female category,” Coe noted, adding “Many believe there is insufficient evidence that trans women do not retain advantage over biological women, and want more evidence that any physical advantages have been ameliorated before they are willing to consider an option for inclusion into the female category.”
Coe added that sports bodies must “try to strike a balance between inclusivity and making sure there is no unfair advantage,” labelling the issue as “thorny”.
The decision was taken after World Athletics consulted 40 member federations, athletes and coaches, UN experts, the IOC and Para Athletics. It is also reported that pro-trans groups were consulted.
The governing body also voted to reduce the testosterone threshold for athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD) to below 2.5 nanomoles per litre, down from 5, for all events in the female category.
Reacting to the announcement, Olympic swimming medalist Sharron Davies called it a victory for “fair sport.”
Davies has long campaigned for the protection of women’s rights in sports, which she says has prompted trans groups to make her life hell.
Last year, Swimming’s world governing body slapped a total ban on transgender athletes that have gone through any form of male puberty from taking part in women’s competitions.
The decision was made following controversy over transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, with doctors advising that the competitor still had an unfair advantage over biological females despite having undergone testosterone suppressing therapy.
Following the example of world swimming, Rugby’s international governing body also banned transgender athletes from competing in women’s matches.
Perhaps more sporting bodies will now take a look at what is happening within their competitions and follow these examples of restoring the rights of women to compete fairly.

USA Today Again Picks Biological Man As ‘Woman Of The Year’
The individual is pushing gender change surgeries for children in Minnesota
USA Today has picked a trans-identified male as it’s ‘woman of the year’ for a second time running, and this time it’s someone who advocates for child sex changes.
The media outlet has chosen Leigh Finke as its ‘woman of the year’ for Minnesota. Finke was the first transgender legislator to be appointed to the Minnesota House of Representatives in November.
USA Today says the awards are a way of highlighting “local and national heroines who make a positive impact in their communities every day.”
Finke has made it a priority to ensure children are allowed to have access to gender altering surgery, recently sponsoring a bill to make Minnesota a “trans refuge state.”
As we highlighted last week, the Democrat Governor and lieutenant governor of the state are on an executive mission to force state agencies to push “gender-affirming” health care.
Governor Tim Walz has labeled efforts to halt trans surgery on children as “persecution,” vowing to “make sure that Minnesota’s place as a welcoming, loving, neighborly state where you are welcome and will be free of persecution or anything else that we’re trying to see in some other states.”
Minnesota is also one of the states where shocking trans and gay porn books have been placed into school libraries, seemingly unbeknownst to school officials.
USA Today now has a habit of picking biological men as ‘woman of the year’, having last year decided that Biden assistant secretary of health and human services Rachel Levine was worthy of the award.
There is a pattern developing here:
