After speaking out against male-born athletes participating in female divisions, the former Olympic swimmer claims she has been called “every name under the sun.”
They claim that I am a bigot, a homophobe, and a clear transphobe. Because I have mixed-race children, I even find it funny that I’m a bigot.
They intimidate others by using these phrases, not because they mean them. They use it to silence you and prevent you from attempting to discuss and explain the science.
According to Davies, many male sportsmen have not supported her in her battle against trans women participating in sports, and she has received sexist abuse.
“They keep their heads down because they don’t want it to affect their revenue,” she said. “Over the course of a weekend in 2017–2018, I got in touch with 60 of my friends in the sports industry.
