Surfer Bethany Hamilton suggested the World Surf League create a new division for trans athletes.
Former competitive surfing champion Shane Dorian also added his name to those who supported Hamilton.
“Speak your truth! Thank you for being brave enough to stand up for what you believe,” he wrote. “Don’t listen to people who hurl the word transphobic at anyone who’s beliefs don’t align perfectly with theirs. These are complicated problems with no clear solution. Regardless, there many people who love and support the trans community who agree with you on these issues.”Bethany Hamilton said she thinks another surfing division should be created for trans athletes.
“I mentioned Testosterone because that is how the Olympics and World Surf League decide if you can compete as a women.” WSL Chief of Sport Jessi Miley-Dyer told The Inertia on Friday the decision the league made was unanimous. “The WSL is working hard to balance equity and fairness and it’s important for a policy to be in place,” Miley-Dyer said. “We recognize that the policy may need to evolve over time as we get feedback and see new research in the field.”
