[HIGHLIGHTS] "It doesn't smell like mind": in the United States, transgender people were allowed to participate in women's synchronized swimming competitions

The U.S. Synchronized Swimming Federation has allowed all athletes to compete under its auspices, regardless of their gender identity.

At the same time, athletes, unlike colleagues from other sports, do not have to take hormone tests or confirm a surgical operation. New categories will be created in which individuals who identify themselves as both men and women will be able to compete. According to Varvara Subbotina, the incident causes only misunderstanding. And Yolanda Chen and Elena Vaitsekhovskaya believe that it will lead to a split and protests from the girls.
