The female fencer who was disqualified from a tournament for refusing to compete against a transgender opponent has been invited to testify before Congress, according to reports.

Lehfeldt is a vocal supporter of trans inclusion in the sport, with an August 2023 post on his personal blog claiming ‘transgender women are women and gender is not sex.’
