BALIAN BUSCHBAUM

He/Him

“Balian Buschbaum is a German athlete who competed in women’s pole vault — including a showing at the 2000 Summer Olympics — before taking hormones to transition in 2007 and retiring the following year. In announcing his retirement, he said, “‘I feel as if I am a man and have to live my life in the body of a woman. I am aware of the fact that transsexuality is a fringe issue, and I do not want to be responsible for it remaining on the fringe.'” [Source]
