Imagine how a young woman on a women’s competition swim team must feel. She has worked hard since childhood. She has trained, practiced, and swum, and now she joins her team in a big match – only to see, on the opposing team, someone who looks like the Incredible Hulk.
Transgender swimmer Ana Caldas has received a five-year ban and was stripped of all competition results between June 2022 and October 2024 by World Aquatics for allegedly refusing to take a gender verification test.
The 47-year-old Caldas, who goes by Hannah, explained that they feel it is “not medically necessary” to undergo costly chromosomal testing that is not covered by their insurance — and ultimately accepted the punishment.
“Chromosomal tests are invasive and expensive procedures,” said Caldas, who transitioned from male to female, according to the Daily Mail.

And, honestly, who the heck needs a DNA test to determine that this dude is a dude?
And, guess what, the Independent Council on Women’s Sports finds letting this huge, muscular dude compete against women is unfair.
The Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) sent a letter to the US Masters Swimming board explaining that allowing Caldas to compete violates their fair play policies and compromises the integrity of the competition.
The letter states that trans women must have had hormonal therapy and have testosterone levels below 5 nmol/L in order to compete against biological females, according to the Daily Mail.
Ana – born Hugo – Caldas has been at this scam for some time. And, he’s not alone.
Now, ICONS noted that “trans women” must have had hormonal therapy and testosterone levels below 5 nmol/L to compete as women. Sorry, but as the saying goes, that dog just ain’t gonna hunt – not if you understand biology, more specifically, mammalian sexual bipolarity.

These are facts.
We can and should cheer this five-year suspension, of course. “Ana” Caldas has no business competing against women. “Transgender” women – men – have no business playing on women’s sports teams anywhere, ever, under any circumstances.

Let’s take this win and keep moving forward. But this practice, this kowtowing to cheaters, has to be ended.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
