Surfing Superstar Bethany Hamilton Announces She Will No Longer Compete if World Surf League Allows Trans Surfers to Compete Against Women |
Townhall: On Saturday, world-renowned surfer Bethany Hamilton came out against the World Surf League’s new policy that allows biological male athletes who identify as women to compete against females in surf competitions. The guidelines implemented by the World Surf League allow transgender athletes to compete in the women’s events if they maintain a testosterone level of less than 5 nanomoles per liter continuously for the previous 12 months before an event. In an Instagram video, Hamilton came out against the change and pointed out that men who claim to be transgender are dominating other women’s sports (Townhall). Robby Starbuck: Surfing champion Bethany Hamilton has just announced she will NOT compete in the World Surf League anymore if they allow biological men to surf in the women’s events. She’s already an absolute legend but this stand makes her even more of a legend (Twitter). |

It will take many more like her to stop this insanity, but at least more and more are voicing their opinions about the issue.
