67 YO trans woman stages silent protest by wearing a men's swimming costume during a meet in England because she's forced to compete against cis males. World
I mean it definitely isn’t, but plenty of us managed to injure ourselves anyway. Thankfully the worst I did was mis-time a flip-turn and whacked my ankles in the gutter. Shit hurts. Several of my teammates tore stuff in their shoulders.
Still complete BS. At her age, competition is not what it once was. I seriously doubt you’ll see sub 50 second 50 meter freestyle/ butterfly in that age bracket. Hell, I doubt there are many 45 year olds (my age) who can do sub 50 seconds.
Threat of injury. Because swimming is a famously and aggressively contact sport.
