Caitlyn Jenner has responded to the new policy that bans transgender women from competing in female swimming events if they have gone through male puberty.
The 72-year-old Olympic gold medalist's reaction comes after FINA - swimming's world governing body - voted over the weekend to restrict transgender athletes from competing in women's elite races.
The organization made its decision during an extraordinary general congress at the ongoing World Championships in Budapest, where 152 members submitted their votes on the matter.
A total of 71 percent of voters chose to prevent trans athletes from competing in women's elite races if they have gone through any part of the process of male puberty - meaning competitors will have now had to have completed their transition by the age of 12.
The decision has sparked a wave of responses from people, especially men's decathlon winner Jenner who shared her opinion on the matter through her social media account.
The former Olympian wrote to her 3.4 million followers on Twitter: "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 comments come after the multiple times she spoke out against trans athletes.
She has previously called on the organization to decide on the topic, claiming it's unfair for cis-gendered females to contest against trans swimmers.
In an interview with Fox News at the beginning of the year, Jenner responded to transgender swimmer Lia Thomas' record-breaking victories last year, saying: "All of this woke world that we are living in right now is not working."
"I feel sorry for the other athletes that are out there, especially at Penn or anybody she's competing against, because in the woke world, you've got to say, 'Oh, my gosh, this is great,' No, it's not," she added.
Jenner also outrightly said that "biological boys should not compete against biological girls," which is now basically what the swimming organizations are seeking to modify after many deliberations.
As reported by BBC News, following the decision, FINA will now aim to establish an "open category" at competitions for swimmers whose gender identity is different than their assigned-at-birth sex.
FINA president Husain Al-Musallam explained that the swimming body's new "open category" will allow everybody to contest at the top level: "FINA will always welcome every athlete. The creation of an open category will mean that everybody has the opportunity to compete at an elite level."
"This has not been done before, so FINA will need to lead the way. I want all athletes to feel included in being able to develop ideas during this process," Al-Musallam added.
