I don't really get why a trans woman would want to compete in a female sporting event, like Lia Thompson, the swimmer.
Where's the achievement? There is none. If you were a trans person, wouldn't you think, ok, I either compete in the male category, as that is my biological reality, or I accept that this sport isn't part of my lifestyle and goals anymore.
I just don't get how you wouldn't be absolutely bleeping mortified standing on a podium in first place, surrounded by biological females whose dreams you have just destroyed?
