Not long ago, a male athlete from Canada competed in the women’s event and won.

Even if you are biologically male, it is said that it is because of the local law that ‘if I believe myself to be a woman, I can become a woman’.

The issue of gender reassignment is controversial in sports as well.

Reporter Kim Tae-wook covered the story.

“He pretended to be a woman for a while and set a record.
So how could men and women compete?”

The Canadian Athletics Act takes precedence over one’s gender identity rather than one’s biological sex.

Silver Bug said she was a woman herself and she went to the contest.

For a long time she coached the Canadian national powerlifting team, but she was not restricted from competing.

“She’s here to address the absurdity of the rules and the participation of transgender athletes in the competition,” she said.

In the meantime, the transgender athlete, who has been winning the championship all along, protested.

“Someone appeared before me today with malicious intent. My entry may not be scientifically fair, but people welcome me.”

Recently, the global sports world is hotly contested over the participation of transgender players.

Last month, the World Athletics Federation announced a ban on transgender athletes from participating in the women’s division and strengthened hormone regulations.

Conversely, last week the U.S. Supreme Court put the brakes on laws passed in some states banning transgender youth from competing in sporting events.
