Transgender athlete and advocate Chris Mosier criticized the NCAA's new policy on the participation of transgender athletes in an interview with ABC News Thursday. The NCAA updated its policy on the participation of transgender athletes this week, leaving it up to the national governing body for each sport to determine eligibility requirements. “Penn Athletics is aware of the NCAA’s new transgender participation policy,” it said. Before the NCAA announced the policy change, several prominent athletes criticized Thomas’ participation in women’s sports, including former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, who came out as trans in 2015.
