#Competing for two: #Pregnant #Olympians push the #boundaries of #possibility in #Paris.
After her #fencing #event ended last week, #Egypt’s #NadaHafez shared a little bit more. She’d been #fencing for two, the athlete revealed — and in fact had been #pregnant for seven months.

Pregnant athletes are pushing boundaries in Paris by competing ever later into pregnancy. Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez revealed she'd been competing at seven months pregnant — and achieved her best result in three Olympics. Azerbaijani archer Yayalgul Ramazonova was revealed to have competed at a similar point in her own pregnancy. These stories are emerging as both attitudes and knowledge progress about how much women can do while pregnant. Doctors are increasingly saying, according to an expert in sports medicine, that if an athlete is healthy and has no complications, she can exercise, train and compete at a very high level.

#Olympic #boxer perfectly explains why he doesn’t have to take #testosterone to be a #trans #man.
His #trans #identity is #valid despite his #decision not to take #hormones. He has been highly vocal about his decision not to undergo HRT or surgery. “[I] will never take ‘T’ and will never be on ‘T’, but consider myself a trans man because my heart says so,” the middleweight wrote.

@Susan_Larson_TN
I've been trying to explain this for years. They say, "Follow God" but then they make you the enemy for following the wrong god.
They say, "Be feminine" but make you the enemy for being the wrong kind of feminine.
They say, "Get a real job" but make you the enemy if you get above your station.
They are not trying to protect you or help you - they are trying to control you. You will never do it the right way because there is no right way. They don't want to lift you up, they want to keep you down. And most of all, they want you to think of all of the rest of us they are keeping down as your enemy. We are so much easier to control if we are fighting each other for a place at their table instead of building one of our own.
