    Today I'm looking for transgendered Olympic Athletes from around the world.  Can you suggest the names of any, tell me which country they are from and give me any other info you know about them?

     

    Thanks, Katie   x

  • Hi Katie. The only one I know of is Michelle Dumaresq. She is Canadian and a m2f downhill biker. I know she made the Canadian team. There is a documentary on her http://www.logotv.com/video/100-woman/1585347/playlist.jhtml which is quite moving.

    Also a non olympian I know of is Lana Lawless a LPGA professional golfer from british columbia. Both these ladies had to deal with a whirlwind of critism and setbacks but both are amazing atheletes.

    Keep up the great work! xxx Jessica
