Editing Trans man (section)

==== Early Examples ====
Early known examples of trans men who competed at international levels were [[intersex]] men who were raised as girls, competed in women's championships, and came out as men later in life. They include [[Zdeněk Koubek]], an intersex man who was [[Czechs|Czech]] women's national champion and medal winner at the 1934 World Women's Athletic games in track whose awards and records were later revoked;<ref name="r3">[http://encyklopedie.brna.cz/home-mmb/?acc=profil_osobnosti&load=11754 Zdena/Zdeněk Koubková/Koubek]. encyklopedie.brna.cz</ref> [[Willy De Bruyn]], a [[Belgium|Belgian]] cyclist who became unofficial women's [[World championship of cycling|world champion]] in 1934, born [[intersex]] and raised as a girl but later identified as a man;<ref name="Meyerowitz">{{cite book |last1=Meyerowitz |first1=Joanne J. |title=How Sex Changed |date=2009 |publisher=Harvard University Press |isbn=9780674040960 |page=33 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XFP2PmYPBBAC&q=willy+elvira+%22de+bruijn%22&pg=PT381}}</ref> and French [[sprinting|sprinter]] [[Pierre Brésolles]], who ran the women's [[100 metres|100 metre]] and [[200 metres|200 metre races]] and won third place in the women's 100 meter dash in the [[1946 European Athletics Championships|Oslo European Championship in 1946]].<ref>{{Cite book|title = Histoire des transsexuels en France|last = Foerster|first = Maxime|publisher = H&O|year = 2006|location = Béziers}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://deces.matchid.io/search?advanced=true&bd=1929&ln=Br%C3%A9solles&fn=Pierre|title=BRESOLES Pierre|access-date=8 July 2020}}</ref>

Another notable early trans man athlete is [[Andreas Krieger]] (b. 1965), an [[East Germany|East German]] [[shot put]]ter who competed on the women's [[East Germany|East German]] [[Athletics (sport)|athletics]] team at [[SC Dynamo Berlin]] in the 1980's.  Krieger was unknowingly doped with large doses of anabolic steroids, which masculinized his body, influencing his decision to transition in the 1990's.  He is now involved in anti-doping activism.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Longman |first=Jere |date=2004-01-26 |title=DRUG TESTING; East German Steroids' Toll: 'They Killed Heidi' |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/26/sports/drug-testing-east-german-steroids-toll-they-killed-heidi.html |access-date=2025-03-30 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=Andreas Krieger: Heidi's Farthest Throw| date=19 November 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQhUjaiveAg|language=en|access-date=2021-08-16}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead YouTube link|date=February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |agency=Associated Press |date=2015-11-28 |title=A Body Changed Forever by Steroids |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/29/sports/a-body-changed-forever-by-steroids.html |access-date=2025-03-30 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
