  • No; there needs to be a separation between transgender athletes and the sex they have changed to in sport.

    Even if testosterone levels are at a desired level to compete, the bone structure, previous training with full testosterone over the years or through puberty and muscle mass is going to give an advantage.

    We only got rid of gender testing in 1999 (although it still exists in disguise).
    Tests will have to be back in the spotlight as male hormone levels are tested to make sure the meet requirements - seems like going backwards.

    Able bodied athletes are not allowed to compete at the paralympics, so Trans athletes should compete against each other at the Olympics and world Champs.

    No real issue with them using the same toilet as we are all fine with gay men using male toilets and same with gray women.

    There do not seem to be too many transgender women playing alongside guys, but maybe it's just not highlighted the same as it does not seem to be an advantage?

  • Sports no, but rooms and bathrooms is kind of tricky. Since they identity as a a girl and feel like a girl in their mind yes, but others don’t know what they think or feel others just see a cock and balls as a stranger. So either they should have single room bathroom abd then in a bedroom they can adjust them selves to what works

  • Post op trans girls should be allowed to share rooms and bathrooms with other girls. They should not be allowed to participate in girls sports if they transitioned after puberty. Pre op girls should not be allowed to do any of these girls. They’re not physically girls yet and sharing a dorm room or a bathroom with a person with a penis would make a lot of cis girls very uncomfortable. This is just my personal opinion and I’m willing to change it if presented with sufficiently persuasive evidence.

    • * any of these things

  • I think it's okay for them to participate in women's games but they should have separate bathrooms just for them

  • Today sports are split in categories to allow for fair play. There’s always a split between male and female, and often a weight category per gender.

    Trans people have been a long part of their life ‘the other gender’. They still have often more muscle mass than their counterparts that were born as a woman.

    They can play together as long as there are no competitions where you can win or loose prices.

    Bathrooms should be coed with stalls per person for some privacy when wanted. There’s such a variety with trans people, better off having private stalls to avoid creating a 3rd gender bathroom.

  • Yes. Trans girls are girls (and trans boys are boys). There is no reason to separate them from cis girls. It’s unnecessary and it’s cruel to them.

  • Sorry but I strongly say no.

  • Absolutely not. Transgender "girls" are just boys who have had surgery.

  • Absolutely not. Someone's insecurities and feelings do not override society and how it functions.

  • A late coming girl (a transgender who became a girl later in life) grew up as a male with all the hormones and strengths of a male. They have a tremendous advantage ofer biological females in competitions and should not be allowed to compete as a woman, unless the event has both sexes competing with each other.
    There are probably already many transgender women using bathrooms and changing rooms with biological women. Although many women would not be happy with this arrangement, many other women don't care. And we have probably gone too far in that direction to change things now.

  • No for the same reason taking doping (ie. the use of prohibited medications, drugs, or treatments by athletes with the intention of improving athletic performance) is forbidden. The Athlets are supposed to compete using their natural bodies and apparently, bodies with XY and XX chromosomes have different thresholds, since there was the need to speparate competition based on chromosomes.

    So no, the division based on chromosomes is to ensure fairness of the competition. Alternatively we could make a mixed group where anybody can compete using any kind of chemicals or doping.

  • No, absolutely not.

  • My answer is no. No for reasons of fairness in the sport and privacy in the restroom

  • NNNNOOOOOOOOO!

    They need their own league.
    Biological women only in bathroom.

  • First, let me clarify the terminology. A "transgender girl" is a boy by birth who has changed to a girl, not a girl by birth changed to a boy.

    Having clarified that, I don't think they should participate in girls sports... their bodies still have many make aspects that would give them an unfair advantage.

    As for sharing rooms and which bathroom to use, they should share with other girls and use the women's restroom.

    The real problem is what do they do during transition, when they are neither completely girl or boy, and there's no good answer for that. My gut feeling is that they should stay with their birth sex until fully transitioned.

  • Hell no!

  • Allowed in rooms (? They're not allowed to be in the same room, together?), sure. Allowed in bathrooms, of course! Allowed to compete in women's sports, probably not, unless she began to transition before her muscles got to their full male potential.
    Test them with weight lifting. If they can lift a lot more than any other girl of their age, size, stature, ability, they should probably not be allowed to compete.

  • No, no and no.

  • No
    There should be different categories for Trans

  • No... they still have the biological advantage of being male.

  • Sorry, but no.
    *unless the trans girl is in active transition, meaning hormones, etc.
    I do not want boys competing against my daughter.

  • Na them monsters need to go live on an island somewhere instead.

  • Should transgender "girls" be allowed to abuse the system to cheese for easy medals?

    No.

  • Why not?
