He's not a trans, but an XY who was allowed to compete against women and is the Olympic gold medal winner in the women's 800m in 2016. In fact all 3 medalist in the 800m women's in 2016 were guys. They were born with ambiguous sex organs and raised as female, but look obviously male and still had high male hormones. Caster was a 2x Olympic winner in women's 800m. [/quote]
