And she's woman enough that the Reading Chronicle blurred out her nipples/boobs in their picture!

I sort of like the recent (running, I think) competition where the trans girl was allowed to compete, and she and the cis girl who came in after her got the same medals and place on the podium as if it was a tie. Second place, I believe. That seems much more fair than this.

Edit: it was California track athlete AB Hernandez. Several nice stories about how mutually supportive the girls were. But now I'm seeing a story about Oregon cis girls stepping down from a podium because they refused to be there with a different trans girl. Because I guess hating on her was more important to them than celebrating their own win. Sigh.
