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 Trans women winning an Olympic gold probably never happens, not because of biology, but because it’s mathematically unlikely.

    1% of people are trans. If cis and trans women were equally good as athletes, then for every 99 Olympic medals to cis women, trans women would get one. But trans women have been allowed in the Olympics since 2004 and the first one to win a medal got it in 2021. That’s 15 years. The data says: cis women have an advantage over trans women in sports.
