A college female fencer in Maryland refused to compete against an opponent who is a biological male and has been expelled as a result.

Stephanie Turner refused to compete against transgender fencer Redmond Sullivan at the Cherry Blossom Open, opting to take a knee at the start of the match, consequently being disqualified from the tournament.

“I knew what I had to do because USA Fencing had not been listening to women’s objections regarding [its gender eligibility policy],” Turner said following the incident.

Collin Rugg @CollinRugg Female fencer takes a knee to protest against her biologically male opponent during a fencing match.

The opponent, Redmond Sullivan, switched from the men's fencing team to the women's fencing team at Wagner College last year.

Sullivan shockingly started dominating the female competition after the switch was made.

During the Connecticut Division Junior Olympic Qualifiers last year, for example, Sullivan competed with the female athletes and won.

The video below reportedly took place over the weekend.

"Sullivan's female opponent was expelled from the USA Fencing event at the Univ. of Maryland over the weekend," reported ICONS.

“I took a knee immediately at that point. Redmond was under the impression that I was going to start fencing. So, when I took the knee, I looked at the ref and said, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot do this. I am a woman, and this is a man, and this is a women’s tournament. And I will not fence this individual,” she further urged.

“Redmond didn’t hear me, and he comes up to me, and he thinks that I may be hurt, or he doesn’t understand what’s happening. He asks, ‘Are you OK?’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry. I have much love and respect for you, but I will not fence you,” Turner continued.

Turner then described how she was paraded in front of the bout committee to explain her actions.

She was provided a copy of USA Fencing’s transgender policy and was forced under objection to sign a document acknowledging a black card.

USA Fencing defended its policy, claiming that it “was designed to expand access to the sport of fencing and create inclusive, safe spaces.”

“The policy is based on the principle that everyone should have the ability to participate in sports and was based upon the research available of the day,” USA Fencing further proclaimed in the statement.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova is among those expressing disgust at the organisation’s actions.
