Trans swimmer

What would happen in the instance of a trans male swimmer and trunks?
Obviously I'm thinking at local club/amateur/hobby level not olympics as for reasons I doubt a trans man would be competing at that level.
But if we consider the female penis then we clearly acknowledge the male breast?
Am watching touch the wall on Netflix and it got me thinking

Such a lack of the concept of fairness too.

Only 3 of the runners in that 800m race at Rio opted for shorts, rather than running knickers...

Funny how girls gymnastics now do concede that shorts are a good idea - for some.

Has anything changed since Rio? Could this happen at the next Olympics?

ThatIsNotMyUsername · 10/01/2021 15:12

More people are wise to it so maybe there will be more boos / audience turning their backs...

This makes me so angry. So bloody blatantly clear the physical differences. Why are more people not shouting about this very clear cheating. Oh yes, its only women losing out.

@Jaxhog

If you look up the 3 winners on Wikipedia, they are ALL intersex with XY chromosomes and testosterone. No coincidence perhaps.
Apparently some countries now send out scouts to look for promising female athletes and get them tested if they suspect/hope they might have genetic advantages. Cheaper ,I suppose, than running a proper national athletics programme to promote and encourage naturally talented girls and women to participate, and it appears, far more likely to ensure international medal success.

RIP elite women’s sport.
