Olympic gold medalist saw the trans decision of swimming

Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

During the World Cup in Budapest, Fina decided to exclude transgender people from competing against women as long as they did not make a gender correction before the age of 12.

It has caused British swimming star Tom Daley, Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo last summer, to react.

– I was furious. Everyone who is told that they can not compete and do something they love for who they are … That is not right, he said according to the BBC.

Daley has previously commented on LGBTQ issues and wants to stand up for transgender people, something he as a homosexual experiences is important.

– I feel very strongly about this, to give transgender people a chance to tell their story.

Fina’s chairman Husain Al-Musallam has previously said that they do not exclude any athlete but will create an open class where trans people can participate.

– This has not been done before so we have to show the way, I want all athletes to feel welcome, he said according to the BBC.
