For several months, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fina.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international governing body<\/a> for aquatic sports has been working with national federations, including USA Swimming, to design competition standards for transgender athletes.<\/p>\n<p>The need for these guidelines was driven by the emergence of <strong>Lia Thomas<\/strong> as a major factor in NCAA swimming. A former member of the men\u2019s squad at the University of Pennsylvania, Thomas transitioned to female and became a member of the university\u2019s women\u2019s team as a senior. While Thomas met 10-year-old guidelines to participate in women\u2019s competition, her presence triggered significant controversy, the main argument stating that her male-puberty advantage provided an unfair edge over biological women.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas was one of the most dominant athletes on the NCAA women\u2019s scene, with her senior campaign highlighted by an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-title-for-lia-thomas-is-joke-with-biological-women-as-punchline-hardly-a-laughing-matter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCAA championship in the 500-yard freestyle<\/a>. Her presence ignited intense debate between those fighting for fairness and the protection of women\u2019s rights and those seeking equal treatment for the transgender community. Thomas also advanced to the final of the 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle at the NCAA Champs.<\/p>\n<p>It was a matter of time before FINA acted on the debate, and the governing body will soon make its announcement. It is expected that the threshold for transgender inclusion will be challenging to meet, as FINA has discussed the issue closely with USA Swimming, among other national federations. USA Swimming\u2019s guidelines for transgender participation require athletes to possess a testosterone level of less than 5 nmol\/L for 36 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FINA Set to Announce Transgender-Participation Guidelines On Sunday, following a vote at the World Championships in Budapest, FINA is expected to reveal its transgender-participation guidelines.
