Caitlin Jenner, one of the most well-known trans women in the world, surprised many people in general and athletes in particular after she supported the International Swimming Federation (FINA) decision to ban transgender athletes from participating in swimming competitions, provided they did not start gender matching until age 12 or experienced Something in the male puberty process.
Jenner, who was an Olympic champion, tweeted on social media in which she wrote: "What is fair, fair! If you went through the process of growing up, remember you should not take medals from women. Point. Thank you to everyone who stood by me when I talked about what should be taken for granted. "The international athletes express their opinion. I will continue to express my opinion, act and fight for women in sports."
It worked!
I took a lot of heat - but what's fair is fair!
If you go through male puberty you should not be able to take medals away from females.
Period.
