'Na told the The Korea Times that the historic victory was all part of a plan that she had been concocting for the last two years to demonstrate that biological males are physically superior to women.

Following her victory, Na admitted she felt 'more relieved than triumphant.'
'I have no unresolved feelings over winning because that's no longer what I want. My goal was to stir controversy and get my story heard by competing,' Na said.
...

She had expected the controversy that came with her win and planned to use it to stir up and initiate discourse to create change in Korea's sports scene.
'I am not honored. I am not proud of myself at all,' she said. 'I believe other transgender athletes would feel the same way. They may not want to admit it, but they're being selfish. There is no honor as an athlete in that.'
The cyclist believes there should three categories in sports - men, women and transgenders. '

Thank you, Na Hwa-rin.

Interesting. I came on here to post this very story. If any TRAs criticise Na Hwa-rin's stance, do we get to accuse them of 'transphobia' and 'literal violence'?

I noticed from a tiny thumbnail picture and without reading glasses that the Guardian had published a puff piece on a tw who has made it to the final eight of a women's darts competition. Perhaps the tw will read this story and have a think. I know the physical differences will be slighter but I suspect they are still real. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's a competition for women!
