From 2020: #ChrisMosier is the First Openly Trans Man to Compete in Men's Olympic Trials

“For me, it’s all about making a pathway for all the trans athletes that come after me,” he told the New York Times.

By Wren Sanders, January 28, 2020

"On January 25, Chris Mosier became the first known openly transgender athlete to compete in an Olympic trial as the gender with which they identify. Mosier, a 39-year-old All-American duathlete and Hall of Fame triathlete, made history by starting the race, a 50 Kilometer race walk, held outside San Diego, California.

"Perhaps just as impressive as Mosier’s barrier-breaking identity is the fact that he’s relatively new to the sport in which he’s already broken barriers. The Chicago-born athlete competed in his first race walk this past September, winning a national championship. In his second race a month later, Mosier finished 12th in the nation, thereby qualifying for the Olympic Trials."

So, I wanted to highlight this quote from #TransAthlete #ChrisMosier [which I totally identify with]:

"An increased scrutiny on athletes' bodies creates serious harm to all women and girls who are perceived as 'more masculine' due to being #queer, #intersex, or otherwise out of alignment with narrow, white-centric norms of femininity."

Or those of us with higher androgen levels naturally! 🤚🏼

#Sports division by sex is a wildly outmoded form of sports division.

There is no reason why we couldn't create classes of "#biological advantage" per sport using multiple characteristics.

In some sports #sex wouldn't even be a factor at all, such as various forms of shooting where women perform at basically the same level as men.

The latest (pointless, #transphobic) #TransAthlete ban has been enacted in #NassauCounty, which is in the #NYC metropolitan area. This kind of thing is why I say there are no "safe states" for marginalized people in the U.S.
