This is completely wrong. It is cheating. Lia should hand the medal back accept they got it all wrong and present it to the real winner.
Then recognise biology means that they cannot both transition and compete. You choose one, you lose the other. Simple.
That will sort the truly dysphoric from the ones taking advantage of a creed. Of which there are far too many.
Lia could have put any talent to really positive use by NOT crushing the dreams of young women just because they could - a blatantly male thing to do - and instead coaching them to win versus other women - if they have any real talent that is.
This is what anyone who truly believed they were a woman would surely do, knowing this is fair and helps other women not hurts them.
Lia clearly acted like a man and put personal glory first.
I notice that on social media many transgender people - those with an inner gender identity whatever that is - are silent as they can see defending this is not a good look, But cannot easily lose the mantra as it is a belief system they are trapped within.
If this debacle changes any minds and frees them from this dangerous ideology then it might be one positive those women who should have been 1st,2nd and third can take from the unfairness.
However, many transsexuals are openly condemning this and calling it what it is - cheating. Without hesitation.
I am one.
Transsexuals generally transition young without having to harm the lives of those around them or leave a trail of heartbreak from wives and children. Transsexuals almost always have surgery as we are driven by body dysphoria not some mystery inner identity apparently fixed just by demanding use of a pronoun or the need to eradicate all gatekeeping which is so traumatic (as in a hassle for them to fool the doctors). Transsexuals find it almost impossible to live with this for decades without seeking help,
Yet transsexuals seem almost in unison out there saying the same thing. This is wrong. It should not be allowed. Despite being the ones who will have overwhelmingly made the most physical changes versus those who often have made none because an inner identity is what they have and that needs no change - just affirmation.
That transsexuals would not compete and know why biology matters in sport shatters the suggestion that those with a new found gender identity have any credible argument at all. We accept competitive sport is a price to pay for fixing our lives. It is deeply frustrating to us that most see trans as now a monologue. But our voices are drowned out as we are tiny in number compared to the new tranny army.
