Part 2/7:
The transcript begins with a reference to the national championships where Leah Thomas, a transgender athlete, competed in the women's swimming category. Leah, who was assigned male at birth but identifies as a woman, has faced significant scrutiny and conversation regarding her participation in female competitions. The situation was further complicated by the presence of another swimmer, Izzy, who is transitioning from female to male. This dichotomy sparked significant debate about the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports and the implications it holds for biological female competitors.
