>The controversial chairman of USA Fencing endured a brutal interrogation by lawmakers on Wednesday over his stance on transgender athletes, including why he once compared concerned parents to the Ku Klux Klan.
Damien Lehfeldt first made headlines last month, when a female fencer named Stephanie Turner refused to fight a transgender rival during a competition.
The incident shone a light on USA Fencing and on Lehfeldt, who previously wrote in a blog post that 'transgender women are women' and '(they) deserve the right to compete with the gender they identify with.'
Since returning to office, however, Donald Trump has signed an executive order entitled 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports'.
