The Winter Olympics kicked off Friday Feb./6/2026 in Northern Italy, and it will feature a single out trans athlete. Elis Lundholm, a freestyle mogul skier representing Sweden, will compete in the female category despite being a transgender man. 24-year-old Lundholm says he has "always been treated well" by the women he competes alongside. Nevertheless, he also knows that as his profile elevates to the national stage, an increase in hate is inevitable. But Lundholm isn't letting that specter break his spirit. "Of course it's something I thought about, you can hear the voices out there. But then I do my thing and I don't give a damn." Outsports called his attitude "pitch-perfect and inspiring." Would you support this trans athlete who was born female and he will compete with other female athletes?
