A lawsuit challenging the trans-inclusive policy was thrown out by a Federal Appeals Court last week, and King took to social media to celebrate the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Hogshead-Makar has long been an advocate of female rights, including leading the fight for safe spaces and fairness in athletic competitions. When <strong>Lia Thomas<\/strong>, a former member of the University of Pennsylvania men\u2019s program transitioned and began racing with the women\u2019s squad, Hogshead-Makar argued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/nancy-hogshead-makar-explains-problems-with-lia-thomas-situation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">against the competitive advantage of Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While King has been lauded throughout her life for encouraging women athletes and speaking out on behalf of the gay community, her decision to side with the Connecticut rule allowing trans girls to race against cisgender girls brought significant blowback. One of the individuals voicing disappointment was Hogshead-Maker, who won four medals at the 1984 Olympic Games, including three golds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPainful,\u201d Hogshead-Makar wrote on Twitter. \u201cYour fame came from beating Bobby Riggs in your prime. Riggs was just a loudmouth \u2013 and almost two times your age. You couldn\u2019t have defeated any male player on the Tour. Yet, you\u2019re an extraordinary athlete and trailblazer.
