Former college runner Minna Svaldo requested that biological men return her “stolen” championship a few years after they reached second place in the 2019 NCAA Division II women's 400 metre hurdle.
“Now is the time to tell people how we actually feel and what we've been going through,” the athletics star told Fox News on Wednesday.
“Nothing is fair about that. It's not okay that the NCAA is even allowing this to continue. They need to be absolutely responsible for allowing female athletes to pass. That's not fair.”
Speaking about the “American newsroom,” Svärd lamented that concerns among female athletes have been ignored to “make others feel better.”
Cecé Telfer, who ranked number one in the women's championship, ranked 390th in the men's competition.
Telfer is fighting to continue competing in athletics and hopes to create an Olympics despite being banned from competing in women's world ranking competitions from athletics around the world.
Telfer said last month that “anti-trans rhetoric has grown” after President Donald Trump's election.
“We need some explanations as to why you want to completely eradicate us from society when we're not doing anything wrong,” Telfer told CNN Sports.
Svärd responded on Wednesday, claiming “no one” to “eliminate” trans athletes, all she and other women are asking is “fairness.”
Svärd wrote about her experiences with the Wall Street Journal Op-Ed, which was published Monday. There, reflecting the title unfairly taken by biological women by male-born competitors, he praised the May 5th Trump executive order, titled “Protecting men from women's sports,” to establish clear policies that protect the integrity of women's campaigners.
But that executive order was too late for women like Svärd.
In her manipulation, the former East Texas A&M University athlete sought a correction to past fraud that he stole a female athlete who stole the title she won.
The new policy for NCAA athletes says they “allocated men at birth,” but biological men may not compete on female teams, but they say that “we will be able to “practice on teams in unison with gender identity and receive all the benefits that apply to student-athletes who are otherwise qualified to practice.”
A spokesperson for the agency told Fox News Digital last month that the governing body would not allow biological male athletes to compete in the female category based on changes to birth certificates.
“This policy makes it clear that exemptions are not available, and athletes assigned a male at birth may not compete on women's teams with revised birth certificates or other forms of ID,” the spokesman said.
An NCAA spokesman said of the trans athletes who practice on women's teams:
“Male practice players have been a staple of college sports for decades, especially in women's basketball, and the association will continue to explain this in policy.”
