Hello everyone,

I’m interested in gathering thoughts and perspectives, particularly from the trans community, regarding trans women’s participation in women’s sports. This is a topic that often sparks debate, and I want to understand the various viewpoints better.

My question is: What are your opinions on biologically male trans individuals competing in women’s sports? Do you think there should be separate categories for trans athletes, or should they compete in accordance with their gender identity? I am looking for thoughtful, respectful discussions, as my intention is not to discriminate but to understand the complexities of this issue better.

Thank you for sharing your insights!

    A lot of comments here on adult competitive sports.

    Any restrictions for school children would be highly invasive and detrimental to a child’s wellbeing. Many school contact sports will have weight grades, which suffice to manage risks.

    Also bare in mind that in the current culture wars, you may have a fixed idea of what “trans” means that does not meet the myriad of actual circumstances.
