Good for her!
A Fencing Academy Of Philadelphia member, Stephanie Turner decided to take a knee and forfeit against a transgender (biological male) opponent in protest.
Turner was set to square off Sunday against trans fencer Redmond Sullivan during the USA Fencing Event, The Cherry Blossom – D1A/VET ROC, that took place in Maryland.
A left-wing entity by far, USA Fencing has been quite open about how they’ve wanted biological males to participate against biological females. (RELATED: Female College Rower Who Identifies As Male Still Chooses To Participate In Women’s Sports)
Each Turner and Sullivan were involved in the Division IA Women’s Foil, however, Turner made the move to not participate against Sullivan and forfeited the match to protest the unfair nonsense that is happening in female sports.
In footage that’s been going viral, tallying more than one million views in only hours, Turner took a knee. Sullivan walked over to Turner, and following a quick chat, Sullivan went away.
Due to Turner forfeiting, she was given a “DNF” (did not finish) in the tournament results. Sullivan moved on with her victory being labeled a forfeit win.
The winner is the female fencer who took a knee and was disqualified. It appears she didn’t want to fence a male claiming to be a female. Bravo! And shame on @usfencing and the @NCAA for putting her in that position. pic.twitter.com/va376RGFZv

It’s sad that Stephanie Turner had to do this to begin with, ruining her chances of winning a tournament, but you have to applaud her efforts for the cause.
You go, girl!
