Minna Svärd
Former NCAA Division II track and field athlete Minna Svärd has gained attention for her outspoken criticism of the NCAA's policies regarding transgender athletes in women's sports. After placing second in the 2019 NCAA Division II Women’s 400-meter hurdles to CeCé Telfer, a transgender athlete, Svärd has called for the return of her 'stolen' championship title, arguing that the inclusion of transgender women in women's sports undermines fairness and the integrity of female athletics. In her public statements and a Wall Street Journal op-ed, she emphasizes the need for accountability from the NCAA and advocates for the rights of biological female athletes.
