The transgender swimmer Leah Thomas is to have their titles and records stripped by the University of Pennsylvania
0:07
following pressure from the Donald Trump administration. Let's get straight into the former Olympic swimmer now, Sharon Davis, NBA
0:14
Sharon, we've got a quick couple of minutes with you here. You must be delighted. At last, justice has been served for all those poor women who were denied medals by a biological man
0:25
Yes, absolutely. You know, as you say, justice has been served. However, you know, for nearly 18 months, this university made all their female athletes change next to this biological male who's fully intact, who made it absolutely obvious that they were still attracted to females
0:41
And when those girls complained and said, you know, we're unhappy about this, loss of privacy, they were told to adjust their thinking and they would be sent to see psychologists blackmarked and have their careers wrecked if they carried on
0:53
So, I mean, there's an awful lot of apologising to do. It's taken four years for them to do this
0:58
I have to be honest and say, I don't think it's through the goodwill of their heart that they want to protect women's sport
1:02
I think that Donald Trump saying that he will remove their federal funding has made a huge difference
1:06
about $175 million, I believe. But they have done the right thing, you know, at long last
1:11
And let's hope that we can make all the other sports do the same. There's still 40 sports here in the UK, Martin
1:16
that are not doing it, even after the Supreme Court ruling. And, you know, the LTA, for example
1:21
just about to have Wimbledon. They look after the elite, 1%. All of the other female tennis players are subjected to having to play men
1:28
So there's still a lot of work to do
