<p>A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biological male</a>, who formerly competed in men&#8217;s fencing, won a world title in women&#8217;s fencing over the weekend, beating a female competitor who is a 14-time champion.</p>
<p class="speakable">Liz Kocab, who is six feet tall, took the title at this year&#8217;s FIE Veteran Fencing World Championships in the 70+ age category. USA Fencing was all-in on the win, congratulating Kocab, who is now an eight-time world champ.</p>
<p>&#8220;Liz Kocab is now an eight time world champion!&#8221; USA Fencing posted on its Instagram. &#8220;This is her fourth in a row in Vet Women’s Epee! Congrats Liz!&#8221;</p>
<p>USA Fencing permits athletes to participate in events &#8220;in a manner consistent with their gender identity/expression, regardless of the gender associated with the sex they were assigned at birth,&#8221; the group <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/transgender-female-fencer-scores-world-title-14-time-champion">states</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Athletes being treated with testosterone suppression medication, for the purposes of USA Fencing-sanctioned competitions may continue to compete in men’s events, but may only compete in women’s events after completing one calendar year (12 months) of testosterone suppression treatment,&#8221; the policy stipulates, as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12640083/Riley-Gaines-trans-fencer-Liz-Kocab-world-championship.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> by the Daily Mail.</p>
<p>USA Fencing CEO Phil Andrews <a href="https://www.usafencing.org/news_article/show/1246393" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last year that the organization will &#8220;protect the rights of nonbinary and transgender athletes in fencing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Even as we plan to conduct more scientific research into the physiological effects of gender transition as they pertain specifically to the sport of fencing, we remain unanimously and steadfastly supportive of transgender athletes having their place in fencing,&#8221; he added. &#8220;To be clear, even as this issue evolves, our support of transgender athletes will not waver.&#8221;</p>

<p class="speakable">Kocab was interviewed by USA Fencing after taking the women&#8217;s title. &#8220;I wanted to support USA Fencing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I really did. Otherwise, I was actually thinking of stepping away. But the fact that it was in America, I thought that was important to support the USA. This is my way of saying thanks to USA Fencing.&#8221;</p>
