In a bold move that’s got everyone talking, USA Fencing has revamped its transgender policy after a fiery protest from fencer Stephanie Turner, who took a knee mid-match against a transgender opponent, sparking a viral storm. Starting August 1, 2025, only athletes born female can compete in women’s events, a sharp pivot from the previous rule allowing transgender women to join after a year of testosterone suppression. This shake-up aligns with fresh U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee safety guidelines and President Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” Fueled by lawsuits, heated congressional debates, and public outcry, USA Fencing is doubling down on fairness, stepping into the ring of a cultural showdown!
