Transgender athletes controversy

This comes amid a widespread debate about whether trans athletes should compete in female sports.

This includes most recently the participation of American swimmer Lia Thomas and U.K. cyclist Emily Bridges.

Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle race becoming the first transgender athlete to win a Division I national championship.

This sparked a flurry of debates about transgender athletes in female sports and it’s fairness.

A woman is somebody that swims at a certain time and doesn’t get beaten by 38 seconds by somebody that wasn’t even good as a man.”
