For some reason, news that the international governing body of competitive swimming mandated that only biological women can compete with each other made the rounds yesterday on social media. It’s a great thing and worth celebrating; however, that decision was made over a year ago. Known as FINA at the time, swimming’s governing body changed policies to protect female athletes’ right to fair competition in June 2022. What did happen recently was the acceptance of a proposal to have transgender swimmers compete in an “Open” category.
