Particularly, Davies has battled for women to have equal opportunities in sports, with her voice heard during the debate about the inclusion of transgender women in the women\u2019s sports category.<\/p>\n<p>Davies has argued, along with the likes of American <strong>Nancy Hogshead-Makar<\/strong>, that allowing trans women into women\u2019s sports creates an unfair playing field. The expression of her beliefs and active involvement with the issue has, according to Davies, caused her financial difficulties and led to sponsors discontinuing partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been so much hate and bullying,\u201d Davies told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.you.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You Magazine<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s been very hard. Charities I\u2019ve worked with for 30 years have dropped me. Agents I\u2019ve worked with for 30 or 40 years don\u2019t use me anymore, because the trans activists can be so vicious and malicious. They go after your work, after your brand. They attack everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davies noted that her stance is not anti-trans but is based on ensuring that biological females receive a fair opportunity in competition. Davies and others have pointed to the fact that trans women have an unfair advantage from the effects of male puberty. The topic has been a major issue in the sports world since late last year, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/lia-thomas-brooke-forde-among-2022-ncaa-woman-of-the-year-nominees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of Pennsylvania swimmer<\/a> <strong>Lia Thomas<\/strong> started to compete on the women\u2019s team after three years as a member of the men\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have friends with trans children. I have made friends with lots of transgender people during this process because the majority totally understand,\u201d Davies said. \u201cA lot just want to live their lives and think this argument is making things more difficult for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defense of Women&#8217;s Sports From Transgender Participation Has Hurt Olympic Medalist Sharron
