In the wake of a related lawsuit in Texas, Florida Attorney General is demanding U.S. Masters Swimming rescind the policy of allowing transgender women to compete against women.
“We are calling on U.S. Masters Swimming, a Florida-based nonprofit, to immediately cease allowing any men to compete against women,” Uthmeier said. “We will always fight to protect women and girls from being subjected to men trying to compete in female sports. It’s our moral obligation to do so.”
In a letter to USMS, Uthmeier says the organization’s updated policy is still in violation of Florida state law because it fails to prevent men from competing against women and fails to clearly define sex in biological terms.
Florida law has defined “sex” in unambiguous biological terms, and if USMS aims to hold women’s swimming competitions in the state, they are required to adhere to the state’s definition.
