The Facts
Transgender olympian Caitlyn Jenner has called on the National Collegiate Athletic Association to stop transgender athletes like Lia Thomas from competing against cisgender women.
She deemed the current system 'woke' and said the fairness of women's sports needs protecting.
The Spin
Left narrative
Trans athletes like Thomas have undergone the hormone therapy required for them to compete fairly in women's sport. Conservative outlets' obsession with her success is targeted transphobia.
Right narrative
Athletes like Thomas hold a competitive edge over cisgender women even after testosterone suppression. Even trans icons like Jenner recognize that the woke agenda behind the NCAA's actions is damaging women's sports.
