The thing is, the case depicted here is of a male swimmer that ranked around 500th place while competing against other men. Suddenly he said "hey, you know what? I am a woman." And he just let his hair grow, started dressing as a woman, and demanded to be put in women's competition. And I agree, he (she) is not a transexual, he (she) is actually a trasvestite. Once that happened voila, he (she) became the #1 ranked swimmer. Technically he is still a man, competing against women. It is really unfair for the women athletes, there is little chance they will win against this person.

" Returning to compete, she took a moment to close her eyes, smile and take a deep breath. She overbalanced on her opening weight of 120 kilograms, taking the bar behind her shoulders. Her second effort of 125 kilograms — a weight Hubbard has often managed in previous competitions — was ruled invalid on a majority decision by the referees. " So yeah hir either choked or something else is afoot. https://apnews.com/article/2020-tokyo-olympics-sports-weightlifting-laurel-hubbard-e721827cdaf7299f47a9115a09c2a162

People, people, people; Trans- is a prefix, nonspecific at that.
The words you are looking for are:
Transvestite,
or
Transexual.
It has a penis & is dress as the opposite sex, it is a Transvestite.
If it has had mutilative surgery, it is a Transexual.

It's amazing how Clara is fine when somebody *else* is paying the price...

It's happening in Canada as well. But it's almost certainly most prevalent in the U.S.

Looks like SOUTH PARK knew what was coming in the future. Looks like Clara's words might have the reverse effects as she'd imagined...excellent.

A lot of people have been wanting sports to follow mma where it's weight based not gender based

In 2021, the IOC approved Laurel Hubbard, a trans woman, to compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics in weightlifting. Hubbard became the first out trans woman to compete at the Olympics; she did not complete her lifts and won no medals.

I am all for Trans people and equality but come on. When you have a clear biological advantage against your opponents like that you just can't compete in the same brackets.

What's funny is recently I saw a post about someone complaining about a trans person clearly being too big to be going up against the other person. And then it was clarified the new was the small person who was actually trans.
