Former college swimmer: Biden admin's proposal on trans athletes 'demoralizing and insulting'

Campus Reform reporter and collegiate swimmer Alexa Schwerha called the effort a 'poisonous political agenda.'

Alexa Schwerha, a former collegiate swimmer and Campus Reform reporter, joined "Fox & Friends First" Monday to speak out against the Biden administration defending the practice of allowing male-born athletes identifying as female to compete against biological women in college sports. 

"What we're seeing is the Biden administration is clearly more concerned with pressing their political agenda than standing up and defending women," she said, calling the proposed rules "demoralizing and insulting."

University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas drew national attention for breaking records in NCAA swim competitions. This has prompted states to enact legislation to protect girls sports. 

As a result, Biden stated that he will protect transgender athletes to compete with the gender they identify as.

"Such state laws are "simply wrong" and "hateful," Biden said, adding that his administration is "standing up for transgender equality in the classroom, on the playing field, at work, in our military, in our housing and health care systems – everywhere."

Biden told the parents of transgender children that "affirming your child's identity is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep them safe."
