Transgender Runner's London Marathon Win Sparks Controversy Over Fairness
- A transgender woman named Glenique Frank won the female category of the London Marathon, though she previously competed as a man named Glen Frank.
- Critics argue it is unfair for transgender athletes to compete against biological women.
- UK Athletics applied rules preventing most transgender women from competing in elite female events to ensure fairness.
- An Olympian said nearly 14,000 women were disadvantaged by Frank's participation and that males competing in female categories is unfair.
- Frank plans to enter future races as "other" or "male" after the backlash to her London Marathon win.
