Well, I guess they secret won then, huh? Have they won? Do you have some evidence of this? No? Well, how do you know Superman hasn't participated in the Olympics? How do you know you're not really an alien? Why do you think that's a logical response? That second part has fuck all to do with what anyone is talking about. Cis people cheating is an entirely different topic, and there is plenty to stop them.
My point is that it is not always obvious who is transsexual. The whole point of transitioning is to blend in as the gender that matches your gender identity. Your response further demonstrates your ignorance on the matter and how you have in mind people who clearly still have the body characteristics of their birth gender. Despite what you say, transsexuals are not the new kids on the block, they have been transitioning for at least since the 50's. I don't know if transsexuals have won or competed in the past without people knowing, but I wouldn't like to suggest that they haven't.
