USA Swimming official Cynthia Millen has resigned in protest over the participation of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in women’s competitions, saying in her resignation letter that she can’t back a sport that allows “biological men to compete against women.”

The letter to USA Swimming indicates that Millen, who has been involved in the sport for roughly 30 years, resigned on Dec. 17.
