British Olympic diver Tom Daley has come out in favour of transgender athletes: ”They must be able to share themselves for who they are”.
FINA’s (International Swimming Federation) decision regarding transgender athletes has sparked a series of controversies. According to the new rule, trans women athletes will only be allowed to take part in competitions in the women’s category ‘if they transitioned before the age of 12’.
In addition, FINA announced the establishment of a specific ‘open category’ for transgender athletes, although it is shrouded in mystery to this day.

As we said before, this decision has triggered numerous stances both for and against and during the British LGBT Awards, Tom Daley said:
” It’s not acceptable to be told someone can’t compete or can’t do something they love just because of who they are. I feel very strongly about this: trans people need to be given the chance to share themselves for who they are”.

According to too many, the participation of trans women athletes in the women’s category would mean that they would be at a disadvantage compared to their direct competitors. This, in a nutshell, is the problem with transgender female athletes. Hence, the ban on trans women athletes from competing in the women’s category.
However, according to some endocrinologists, there is no scientific evidence to prove the biological advantage of transgender female athletes over cisgender female athletes.

The United States. A group of friends and an association that cultivates ethnic discrimination, racial superiority, and the fight against any diversity as essential pillars of its doctrine. These are the main elements of this multi-faceted novel, at times raw and hard, far from pity and useless turns of phrase, in which extreme fanaticism leads a father to desire the evil of his homosexual son, to the point of acting personally for the annihilation of this inclination. Yet “REDEMPTION DAYS” is not a novel that takes away space for hope, the same feeling that will take possession of the protagonist’s page after page, directing them to arrive very differently from the departure, a goal in which ideas change, the true virtues emerge, evil and perversions are finally removed, to achieve so, in different ways, their individual redemption.
