However, the organization has also decided to organize a separate open tournament for athletes who identify as women, but do not fall into the two groups mentioned above, to compete against female athletes other.
Three months after Lia Thomas became the first transgender woman to win the N.C.A.A division I 500-yard freestyle, this decision has been made. She recently shared with Sports Illustrated magazine that she is not a man, but a woman, and will be assigned to the women’s swim team. She hopes to qualify for the 2024 Olympics in the near future.

Opinions on this regulation are divided into two camps: support and opposition. Currently, each sports organization has different regulations.
