Nathaniel Morin, Canadian Advisor to the Canadian Women's Minister, released a statement this week defending the advisor's participation in the women's marathon as a transgender biological man.
Morin introduced President Donald Trump's recent executive order to prevent trans athletes from competing in women's and women's sports in a statement.
“I know that because of my medical history, so many competitions are talked about. I don't help the situation in the US and the comments of certain politicians,” Morin wrote.

“In honor of the level of competing (amateur recreation), the state of scientific research in the field (because of the amateur recreation level), and the fact that I have undergone a medical transition, I am justified. I'm thinking. Join the right categories. Remember that the laws I do. It applies.”
Morin added that additional medical research will be considered to consider whether advisors will continue to compete in women's marathons.
On Tuesday, Morin posted to X to further address his advisor status as a trans marathon runner.

“Trans people in our society want to be fully integrated and happy as genuine selves,” Morin writes.
Morin competed most notably on February 4, 2024 at the 5-kilometer Buugeboujlan. So Morin came in first place in the 25:32 hour, winning the “Fastest Woman” title in all age categories.
The runner-up to Morin was a girl in the 10-12-year-old category who ran at 26:08.
If Morin had competed in the male category, the transgender runner would have ranked 10th among all male participants.
