No winners here at all. It's a tragic tale all round.

it must be fucking shit growing up trans, perhaps finding yourself in sport, then getting pressured out of the activity you love because the very thing that made you an outcast is suddenly deemed an unfair advantage
Pace @Scrabble , sports have tried to equip themselves to deal fairly with trans athletes while also being fair to everybody else.
The problems are likely to come from competitors (who may not understand the steps taken by governing bodies to level the playing field with regard to trans athletes) rather than governing bodies, except in this case where it seems that the athlete in question was cheating by failing to notify the governing body about her desire to compete in her non-birth gender category.

Doesn't justify attempted murder of course, but it must be fucking shit growing up trans, perhaps finding yourself in sport, then getting pressured out of the activity you love because the very thing that made you an outcast is suddenly deemed an unfair advantage.
