A 50-year-old man will sprint against women in the Paris Paralympics.

Paralympics President, @parsonsandrew , says “I think it is just fair that we treat [transgender athletes] respectfully.

“But I do think science should give us the answer, because we also want to be fair with the other athletes in the field of play. It is a very difficult question. And science hopefully will be able to give us the answer.”

Science has given us the answer, Andrew.

Every human who has ever existed knows the answer. Babies know the answer. Dogs know the answer. Chimpanzees know the answer.

You disregard women and you ignore fairness in order to satisfy the narcissism of a 50-year-old cheat.

Petrillo competes in the women's T12 classification – for athletes with visual impairment – and won gold in the 100m, 200m and 400m events at the 2021 Italian Paralympic Championships….

Petrillo, who won 11 national titles as a male between 2015 and 2018, has said that she 'deserves this selection'.

"I have been waiting for this day for three years and in these past three years I have done everything possible to earn it," she told BBC.

"I deserve this selection and I want to thank the Italian Paralympic Federation and the Italian Paralympic Committee for having always believed in me, above all as a person as well as an athlete.

"The historic value of being the first transgender woman to compete at the Paralympics is an important symbol of inclusion."

Inclusion for him: exclusion for the women competing against him.
