Question? Why aren't there any women that trans into men wanting to play men's sports???

Chris Mosier, a triathlete and duathlete, who is also the first trans athlete to qualify to participate in Olympics trials in the gender in which he identifies, and has been a part of Team USA in international competitions. According to his website, he is the "first known transgender man to represent the United States in international competition." He also runs transathlete.com, a "resource for students, athletes, coaches, and administrators to find information about trans inclusion in athletics at various levels of play." He is also credited with being the catalyst for the International Olympic Committee to change its policy on transgender athletes' inclusion in the games.

In 2015, swimmer Schuyler Bailar was described by his alma mater Harvard University as the first openly transgender swimmer to compete on an NCAA Division 1 men's team, the highest level of intercollegiate athletics. He finished his college years in the top 13% of the breaststroke and top 15% of the butterfly stroke.

In 2018, Patricio Manuel became the first openly transgender man to box professionally in the U.S. and win. He faced off against Mexican athlete Hugo Aguilar.

I would say that those were women who wanted to compete against the best. What we have now are men that are wanting to bully and punch down to the competition.

In my opinion, totally different.
