Since this Sunday, the date the video was broadcast, the victory of athlete Aayden Gallagher in the 200 meters of an inter-high school competition has shaken the web and been the subject of numerous transphobic comments. Canadian weightlifter April Hutchsinon, who fights against the integration of transgender people, praised the “excellent example of male cheating”. But she is not the only one. The feminist news site, Reduxx, portrays transgender people as cheaters and dangerous people.
Aayden Gallagher is one example among many. The debate over transgender athletes has existed for years in the United States. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) decided last Tuesday to ban transgender women from its women's competitions. Information reported by the American site NBC News.
