The American Longboard Association has opted to allow to a transgender female in the women's division of a surf competition in California.
After initially ruling that transgender females would not be allowed to participate in the women's division of a surfing competition in California, the American Longboard Association reversed its decision. Facing backlash, Todd Messick, the association's founder, decided that trans surfer Sasha Jane Lowerson is now eligible to compete in the Huntington Beach Longboard Pro against women.
The WSL said transgender female athletes need to maintain a testosterone level of 5 nmol/L for at least a year to participate in the women’s division. Hamilton said in her video she would rather see WSL create a new division. Fox News' Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.
