San Juan, 23 Mar Puerto Rican Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, Olympic champion in Tokyo 2020 in the 100 meters hurdles, classified this Wednesday as “unfair” that they continue to allow trans women to participate in women's competitions. “Women (gender assigned at birth) will not have a chance in sports if they continue to allow men to participate in competition,” Camacho-Quinn said in a tweet. “It's not fair. Live as you want to live, but on a sporting level, I don't agree with what is happening,” added the also owner of the Olympic record in the 100 meters hurdles. Camacho-Quinn's expressions come several days after American Lia Thomas made history by becoming the first transsexual to win a national swimming championship, in this case the NCAA Division I women's 500 free yards. Lia, 22, competed as Will Thomas until 2019, when she began a process of sex change. After the year of testosterone inhibition treatment required by the university league in these cases, Lia can participate without limitation in women's tests. The US Swimming Federation recently announced a change in its policies to limit the level of testosterone that female athletes should have to a maximum of 5 nanomoles per liter of blood. Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee allows trans women to compete in women's categories if their testosterone levels, the hormone that influences the increase in muscle mass, are below 10 nanomoles per liter of blood. “As I said: this is not against anyone who has started this transition early. Don't misunderstand my words. This is what just happened in swimming,” said Camacho-Quinn. Faced with this, he mentioned South African Caster Semenya, who has been restricted from competing by World Athletics, because it forces female athletes to keep their testosterone levels below 5 nanomoles per liter for a continuous period of at least six months. “If we want to be fair, let's be fair to everyone,” said Camacho-Quinn. Following her remarks, Puerto Rican gay activist Pedro Julio Serrano responded to Camacho-Quinn by stating that “transphobia is not an opinion.” “Trans women are women. Educate yourself,” Serrano said in a tweet. CHIEF jm/og
