Italian sprinter Valentina Petrillo will be the first trans athlete to run in the Paralympics...Valentina Petrillo is visually impaired, and it's true. However, Petrillo won a whopping 11 national titles in visually-impaired categories as a man. Last summer, the runner took bronze in both the women’s 200 and 400 meters at the Para Athletics World Championships.
Technically, Petrillo competing in the women’s category is not against the rules, but it screams injustice.
