I don't know why anyone is concerned, they're wearing nail polish.

"the first openly transgender athlete to participate in the Paralympic Games "

Are they telling us that other men pretending to be women have previously participated and we didn't know about it?

Pretty much. For the non para Olympics, Stella Walsh is an interesting Google dive....

All the wrangling that goes on w.r.t. eligibility for para Olympic categories it totally blows my mind that they're happy just to allow the greatest advantage possible (male puberty)

Another male cheat 🫠

Exactly, the categories are really strictly monitored, for example there was a point where it looked like Alfie Hewitt, multi grand slam winning wheelchair tennis player, wasn't going to be allowed to play wheelchair tennis any more due to the nature of his disability, luckily they sorted that out, but the categories often change and some athletes lose out. And then they just wave a man through. Disgusting. Melani is still in another event, but should be in both.

And he has misplaced Melani Berges from the Spanish Olympic team as a result 😤😡🤬

Transitioned at 45 so has a massive advantage in muscle strength, endurance etc than Melani and all other biological females.
