VIDEO| Protests Ignite Over ‘Transgender’ Valentina Petrillo’s Paralympics Inclusion, Deemed Unfair

Valentina Petrillo, a 50-year-old Italian transgender athlete, will make history as the first trans competitor in the Paralympics, qualifying for T12 200m and 400m events in Paris.

Her participation has sparked debate, with Spanish lawyer Irene Aguiar calling it "unfair" after Petrillo outperformed Spanish athlete Melani Berges in qualifying.

While IPC president Andrew Parsons welcomes Petrillo, the decision has faced protests.
