As of now, the NCAA supports a “sport-by-sport approach to transgender participation that preserves opportunity for transgender student-athletes while balancing fairness, inclusion and safety for all who compete.”
Those in favor of the move say the policy is a necessary one.
The NCAA, US Swimming and the Olympic committee have not yet followed suit by enforcing this policy, however they are each exploring their position individually. Further policy changes could have a major impact on Thomas’ career, along with future athletes who began or will begin their transition after the age of 12, or the onset of puberty.
NCAA athletic officials from the University of DePaul and Northwestern University declined to comment to WTTW News on the topic. Paul Kennedy, associate athletic director at Northwestern University, said, “there are others with significantly more direct experience in the matter than we have at Northwestern, we’ll politely decline at this time.”
“If they [establish the open category] with the idea that, ‘we want nonbinary athletes to have a spot to compete,’” Breen said, then she would support the open category. “But, doing it with the idea that, ‘OK, we’re going to segregate trans women, trans men and intersex folks,’ it whole heartedly is not the same thing.”and a former competitive swimmer, called the policy invasive and discriminatory.
