Megan Youngren will become the first openly transgender female athlete to compete at the United States Olympic marathon trials.
The 29-year-old will make history on February 29 in Atlanta, where she will compete against 63 women for a spot on the Olympic team to compete at the Summer Games in Tokyo later this year.

Remember the old days when we joked about the East German Women Olympic Team taking Male Hormones?
You’ve come along way Baby...
Yeah, really.
How is this going to work with less woke countries?

How long before America becomes sick and tired of the TYRANNY from the left?
