Nike has had flak for a sports bra ad using trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies tweeted: “Yet again a male gets paid to advertise a product vastly aimed at women!

“Adidas, if you want to design a swimsuit for trans women, right on.

“They have different needs. But stop gaslighting women?”

Marathon runner Mara Yamauchi added: “If this is aimed at female swimmers, there are thousands of wonderful, athletic females @adidasUK could have paid to model this. Brands erasing women.”

Adidas said it was “a celebration of self-expression, imagination and the unwavering belief that love unites”.
