A 67-year-old trans woman in England staged a silent protest during a swimming competition when she was not allowed to compete against cis women. Anne Isabella Coombes, who has fully transitioned, swam in a men's bathing suit with her breasts exposed during the competition.

A transgender woman named Nicholas Cepeda, who identifies as a woman, competed topless in the women's category at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, sparking controversy and debate over fairness and inclusivity in sports. Cepeda, who has not undergone gender reassignment surgery, argued that competing topless was a personal choice and a form of self-expression, while critics, including some female swimmers and sports organizations, expressed concerns about the impact on the integrity of women's sports and the potential for male advantage. The incident has reignited discussions about the need for clear policies and guidelines regarding transgender participation in sports, with World Aquatics stating that they are reviewing their rules to ensure fairness and respect for all athletes.
