I live in this flannel.
An interview with Keelin Godsey, a transgender man who has not undergone a medical transition in order to continue to compete in the women’s hammerthrow. Last week he placed fifth in the Olympic trials, narrowly missing the opportunity to compete in London. I wish nothing but the best for you .Keelin.
There is also an article about him here

I know some people will be critical of this article and Keelin who was born assigned female, but identifies as male (just has not undergone any medical treatments for his transition yet), due to the fact that he identifies as male but will be trying out for the Olympics as female.
I am NOT critical of him, but hopeful. The truth of the matter is, this is something he has worked long and hard toward, AND due to current policies the Olympics currently would not allow him to try out as a male. He has put his transition on hold to work toward his dream and I commend him for that. I wish him luck as he competes and hope that he goes down in our history books as the first transgender male to compete in the Olympics.
In fact, if someone has something negative to say, you can keep it to yourself on this one.
