Transgender athletes

[nat965]

Is it fair that transgender athletes compete in their non-biological division in physical sport? Why or why not?

[-:Undertaker:-]

no it isn't fair for the obvious reason that a man dressed as a woman competing in a woman's competition is still a man.

I don't think it's right at all. Perhaps you are referencing this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b02d33b7474cfd

yes it's fair as they're simply representing people from their gender!

I don't believe they'd be allowed to in most cases because of the drugs

Agreed and I also saw something somewhere, don't know how true it is, can't remember the source. But basically they say that the therapy brings them down yes but not as far down as a woman. Again dunno if this is true, I'd be interested to do some research on it as to how effective the therapy is.

Feel free to correct.

@Expling;

I identify as disabled though, surely it's discrimination to deny me my place?
