Caitlyn Jenner has backed a controversial new bill which has banned transgender women competing against cisgender women in swimming races.The new policy was announced by swimming governing body FINA.The new rules will mean that transgender women can only compete in women's races if they have completed their transition by the age of 12.Following the announcement on Sunday, Caitlyn Jenner - who famously transitioned in 2015 - tweeted: "it worked!

I took a lot of heat - but what’s fair is fair! If you go through male puberty you should not be able to take medals away from females.

Period."The former Keeping up With the Kardashians star first rose to fame after competing at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.

She famously won the gold medal for the men’s decathlon.Jenner has offered her support for the new policy, which was imposed in response to transgender swimmer Lia Thomas’ record-breaking victories at college swim meets.

LGBTQ+ Sport Transgender I’m a trans man who plays rugby – I’m sick of us being treated like we’re inferior

ban on trans women and girls back in October 2020 due to ‘significant risk of injury’ for cis women, I was both devastated and frustrated. The ban means that any trans women and girls cannot play at an elite level or international level of the game.This landmark ruling rippled through the trans community, as well as through people who had supported World Rugby. We knew the danger this ban could have on players and equality in the sport as a whole. I tried to have chest surgery when I was both 19 and 23, but I was told by coaching staff that if I came out as trans, I would lose my ability to play the sport. This was upheld as there were no policies to support trans inclusion in the early 90s. I lost my parents young – my dad died of lung cancer when I was 17 – and my mum, who was ill most of my life, when I was in my 20s.
