Okay, I am new to this situation, but as I understand he had a sex change, correct me if I am wrong??? So where do you draw the line? What makes her a woman able to be in a female’s class? If I have long hair, am I a female? If I have long hair and wear a bra, am I a female? No! Even if I have what is called a sex change, I am still genetically a male. In my opinion, the line is drawn at birth with genetics. You would never have her/him racing in the Olympics as a female, so why in these competitions?
