“Yeah.”
That’s how USA Fencing’s chief responded when asked if he was okay female athletes being disadvantaged when competing.
Damien Lehfeldt, the head of USA Fencing, just testified before a congressional subcommittee about his organization’s policy that allows biological men to compete against women.
This comes just weeks after USA Fencing disqualified Stephanie Turner for refusing to compete against a man. She took a knee, was slapped with the sport’s harshest penalty, then escorted out of the building.
Lehfeldt hasn’t just defended these anti-woman policies -- he’s mocked those who disagree. On social media, he’s compared critics of trans athletes in women’s sports to the KKK.

Now, under pressure, USA Fencing is pretending it might change its policies. But only if they’re forced to.
Force them.
