USA: the 'Lia' Thomas case, THE trophy-stealing swimmer
Will Thomas has found a way to break all records: calling himself Lia and beating his opponents, moving from 462nd place in the men's freestyle to first place in the women's freestyle. A grotesque injustice at the centre of a furious debate, effectively ridden by the Republicans.
Last summer there were raving articles in the media celebrating 'transgender athletes': men who, by saying they 'identify as women', had obtained permission from the IOC to compete in the women's category at the Olympics.

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics - this is the official name despite the postponement - will be the first in which male athletes who say they "feel like women" will participate in the female categories, authorised by the IOC in deference to the ideology of gender identity. In Japan, which has been governed almost uninterruptedly since the 1950s by the conservative and pronatalist LDP (Liberal Democratic Party or Jimintō), the situation regarding transhumanism is different from that in Western countries.
