A record number of athletes openly identifying as LGBTQ+ are competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, a massive leap during a competition that organizers have pushed to center around inclusion and diversity.
There are 191 athletes publicly saying they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and nonbinary who are participating in the Games, according to Outsports, an organization that compiles a database of openly queer Olympians. The vast majority of the athletes are women.
That number has quashed the previous record of 186 out athletes counted at the COVID-19-delayed Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, and the count is only expected to grow at future Olympics.
“More and more people are coming out,” said Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports. “They realize it’s important to be visible because there’s no other way to get representation.”
Well since trans women are women and not men that shouldn’t be a problem.
What a weird thing to worry about. Stop being weird.

You use words without knowing what they really mean.
Except the whole thing about their natural physiology. People who were born as men just have a more powerful physiology than women. This doesn’t change during or after transitioning. Sorry, but you’re being weird here.
Oh so strength doesn’t decrease when testosterone lowers and estrogen increases, and vice-versa?
