A woman who is transgender took a stand against a national swimming organisation after they banned her from competing in the women's division.

Anne Isabella Coombes, 67, who lived in Reading for the majority of her life, decided to protest against Swim England's decision by wearing men's jammers whilst competing.

As a fully transitioned woman, this meant that Ms Coombes competed topless with her breasts exposed at the Cornwall County Masters.

Ms Coombes transitioned during lockdown at 62 years old after living the majority of her life as her assigned sex at birth.
