That’s a man. He shouldn’t be allowed to compete against women.

This isn’t about a person transitioning from one gender to another. This is about fairness in competition. Stop making it something it isn’t!

She is a transgender person not a woman

Dude looks like a lady👀

Just allow trans versus trans competitions in order to be fair.

I feel sorry for the lady swimmers

That's a dude so....

Congratulations to HER

Transgender women should not be allowed to compete with biological women.
