by NINA NGUYEN – AUSTRALIA’s greatest Olympian Emma McKeon has revealed she won’t race biologically male athletes as the transgender debate continues to dominate the May 21 federal election campaign.
Speaking at a Griffith University forum in Queensland on Tuesday night, the 27-year-old said trans athletes’ participation in female categories is a growing issue in the sporting arena, although it “hasn’t come to a point” where she would have to compete against a born-male athlete.
- Australians are pretty fed up with walking on eggshells because they may say something that’s going to upset someone.
- We don’t want females racing against swimmers who are biologically male – because it’s not fair.
“I personally wouldn’t want to be racing against someone who is biologically male, so that’s a concern,” she said, according to The Australian newspaper.
“The sport has to think about how to handle it and how to deal with it because you do want to be inclusive, but you don’t want to have females racing against swimmers who are biologically male because it’s just not fair.”
INDIVIDUAL
“It’s not a new thing, but it’s new in the fact that sports will, [and] swimming, have to deal with it. Individual sports are going to have to work out how to handle it.”
Ms McKeon, a four-time world record holder, was also the winner of 11 Olympic medals – including five gold – making her the most decorated Olympian in Australia’s history.
The Gold Coast-based swimmer’s sentiment was echoed by swimming great Tracey Wickham on Wednesday, who suggested transgender athletes should race against each other in a separate category.
“I mean if they want to play world champion chess, go for it, but anything physical, no,” declared Wickham, who was the 1978 World Champion for the 400m and 800m freestyle.
While the debacle of US swimmer Lia Thomas hasn’t yet emerged in Australia, it is “only a matter of time” before it happens, according to Swimming Australia president Tracy Stockwell.
“I think we’ve got to be prepared for that,” she told News Corp on Wednesday.
Describing the transgender sports debate as “complicated,” “emotional,” and “divisive,” Stockwell said it is on Swimming Australia’s agenda for their May board meeting.
“We will be looking at lots of different examples of inclusive but fair policies.”
DEVES
The issue has also spilled into Australia’s federal election, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison defending his handpicked Liberal candidate for the Sydney seat of Warringah, Katherine Deves, who is a vocal biological-sex campaigner.
“Others might want to cancel her,” he said, referring to calls to disendorse Deves over her controversial comments on the transgender issue.
“Others might want to cancel other Australians for standing up for things that they believe in, but I’m not going to have a partnership with them.”
“I think Australians are getting pretty fed up with having to walk on eggshells because they may or may not say something one day that’s going to upset someone.”
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said he shared the same views with Deves on the topic, but noted that “ultimately, as well, we in public, as politicians in the media, have an obligation in these areas of debate, to participate in a way that is sensitive, particularly in areas that are incredibly delicate and there are strong views on either side of the debate.”
PREVENTED
In 2021, male-born athlete Hannah Mouncey took the AFL to court after being prevented from competing in its 2017 women’s league.
Swimming Australia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.PC
This is yet another example of the wickedness of the Daniel Andrews Victorian Labor Government, using the Transgender People as a Political Football/Vote Catcher.
Transgender People please don’t fall for this Dictator’s Con – He cares about no-one but his power crazed lawless self and his like-minded Premiers in all States of Australia along with the Prime Minister. Don’t fall for their vote catching bullshit.

What is this World coming to when we are even having a discussion about this issue! All these left clowns are screaming for fairness, equality and they want transgender’s to compete with females. Why would any young girl with asperations want to spend years training only to have to compete with someone that is biological stronger? If transgender’s wish to compete in a physical sport why don’t they do it with their own gender? Because they know they have an unfair advantage!
