    Define your goalposts, what exactly is “winning against the best in competition”?

    Chris Mosier seems like someone who consistently does win in those competitions.

    If he doesn’t count then who, specifically, does “the other way around”?

      winning against the best in competition

      It’s axiomatic. The best means the best. Objectively. Fastest, highest, longest, game won. You understand?

      Participating in the Olympics, only to not even finish isn’t exactly winning though.

      I could find one victory in total, which was a smaller size meet for men over 40. Truly the best. Not bashing effort in any way, he likely puts in a lot of work. All athletes do.

        So your goalpost is a world record? No trans, non-binary, etc. individual I can find has set a world record in any sport.

        Participating in the Olympics, only to not even finish isn’t exactly winning though.

        If we lower the goalpost to ‘any trans, non-binary, etc. individual winning gold in the Olympics’ again nobody meets that criteria1. Dropping it to simply medaling? Again nothing.

        ^1 Quinn the soccer player arguably does meet this criteria, but it’s a team sport. Using that as your sole evidence of ‘loads of examples of the opposite’ seems extremely cherry picked doesn’t it?^

          Yeah? No shit they haven’t, born men aren’t allowed to compete against women. I recon there are thousands of athletes that could decide to transition to female and beat the world records for women.

            They are though, just going through the last 2 Olympics the list of openly trans individuals: Laurel Hubbard, Chelsea Wolfe, Quinn, Ness Murby, Nikki Hiltz, Raven Saunders.

            You can look these things up, stop being a willfully ignorant bigot.
