First of all I have nothing against transgender people. It's none of my business nor is it anyone else's business unless you're the person involved.
But when a transgender athlete competes in a women's event with obvious muscles from a man to draw on, it gives an unfair advantage. In fact it's like comparing apples to oranges. It can't be done.
Nobody likes competing on an uneven field so I definitely take my hat off to the women that competed in the weightlifting event. It's a changing world we all live in now and to think that all competitions are equal is wrong.
Everybody is too scared to upset the apple cart, or is that oranges?
