As controversy continues to build around biological male collegiate athlete Lia Thomas's domination at the NCAA women's swimming competition last week, prominent women's groups have been largely silent.
As controversy continues to build around biological male collegiate athlete Lia Thomas' domination at theFox News Digital reached out to the Women's Sports Foundation, Black Women in Sport Foundation, the National Organization for Women, Champion Women and other advocacy groups for their opinions on the transgender athlete's recent domination in races against biological females.
On its website, the Women's Sports Foundation outlines its position on transgender athletes saying:"The Women’s Sports Foundation supports the right of all athletes, including transgender athletes, to participate in athletic competition that is fair, equitable and respectful to all." However, the group didn't respond to an inquiry on Thomas' case when questioned by Fox News Digital.
Critics argue that Thomas should not be allowed to compete against women because of the physical advantages they say biological males have over female swimmers.
