Transgender Olympian Caitlyn Jenner has come out in support of a new policy that prohibits transgender women from competing in swimming events. In a landmark decision, international professional swimming body Fina has banned transgender athletes from competing in women’s races. Under the new rules, transgender swimmers must have completed their transition by age 12 to be able to compete in women’s competitions. The swimming body will establish a new working group that will spend the next six months looking at the most effective ways to set up this new category. A day after Fina's rule was implemented, the International Rugby League banned all transgender women from participating in international matches as it works on rules pertaining to transgender players.
