As the title says, am I right in thinking no trans men have ever won an award or sporting competition in the male sex category?

I don't really want a debate on the rights or wrongs of trans women competing against natal women but I just wondered if anyone has ever heard of a trans man winning something in a male sex category.

YABU - I can name a few trans men winning awards in male sex categories
YANBU- I have never heard of any trans men winning anything in the male sex category.

Wasn't there once a woman pretending to be a man in the Mr Gay UK competition? I remember it opening the eyes of some gay men. I can't remember if she won.

You’d need to know how many transmen enter male sports to get any sort of meaningful figure. It’s probably not many.

No, and they're usually crap compared to other pro men.
