Born a biological male, one South Korean has continued
hisher passion in completive cycling after transitioning to a woman against biological female riders — not for glory, but to prove a point to “selfish” trans athletes.
Na Hwa-rin, 37, was raised in a Christian family but knew since the age of seven that
heshe should have been born a female.
Following
hisher transition last year
heshe was legally recognized as a woman in the eyes of the South Korean government and has continued with
hisher lifelong love of racing as a cyclist now as a female.
Na secured a victory at the Gangwon Sports Festival in June but had an out-of-character reason for racing and winning —
heshe set out to prove biological men are physically superior to biological women.
“I have no unresolved feelings over winning because that’s no longer what I want. My goal was to stir controversy and get my story heard by competing,” Na told the Korean Times.
