Yes, but only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete

They have advantages from having the increased hormones earlier in their life, so it still isn't fair. That takes away the fairness of womens sports.

I agree with this, while Trans people are in highschool, I believe it doesn't matter, we should let them, play without making their hormones equal because they might not be able to afford that, but on a professional level I see the argument and that is when hormones should be tested.

Based on personal experience, I have taken part in similar tests administered by the researcher Jonna Harper, in which I came to the same conclusion that physical speed and strength has decreased drastically since two years ago. At the time that I started hormone therapy, I was 16, I am now 18, and my aerobic capacity is equivalent to cisgender women I compete against.

i myself am trans, i believe that if anyone is gonna compete they should be transitioned for 4 years at least and undergo a medical evaluation, including measuring hormone levels.

Transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with "natural" collegues of the same sex (such as transgender women with biological women), because the lattea will never be strong enough to compete with someone who was originally a man.

Because there are biological differences between males and females and the way our bodies properties and muscles are built up are different making it an unfair playing field if the transgender people do not have the same hormonal levels as the others competing

That does not matter. They still have the chromosomes as a man, they could also get off their hormone medicine after they have been tested and they could strike back up to a man or woman hormone level.

There is hrt which changes hormone levels and you can look that up. If you don't want them to compete after having equal hormone levels, you're just transphobic, there's no logical argument to be had.

Testosterone increases muscles and estrogen increase fat. Muscle is generally seen as preferable in most sports. Many cis women can be born with higher testosterone than average.

I believe that if you meet certain requirements like physical fitness and chemical balance, hormone levels, then you should be allowed to play in your preferred gendered sport. People shouldn’t be punished for being themselves

if you have the same hormone levels as those born of that sex, the only thing separating you from them is your genitalia.

Trans athletes should be restricted to compete against the gender that was assigned to them at birth, in order for a more even playing field in Olympic competitions

My stance is this. A man and women are genetically different and should not be competing against each in sports. Also too we don’t have the same built and you can’t change change show your DNA is no matter how hard you try.

No I still wouldn't allow it because of the genetics they were born with either men hormones and women's hormones because they are both different and men are typically stronger than women.

If a trans man wants to compete in the mens event and their hormone levels are equal, they should be allowed to compete. Beginning testosterone will make that athlete's body grow/function more like a cisgender man's body would function. Therefore, there is no reason they should not be allowed to compete in the men's event.

A transgender man may take testosterone, and over time he's going to grow facial hair, get broader shoulders, gain a deeper voice, and so on. He'll get the same qualities that other men have but all of a sudden it matters, because he wasn't born that way. A transgender woman may take estrogen, and over time she'll to be able to grow their hair longer, grow breasts, and gain a higher voice. She'll get the same qualities that other women have but all of a sudden it matters, because she wasn't born that way. If transgender people were forced to compete on the same…  Read more team as their assigned gender at birth, people would still call it out, because if a transgender man who has been on testoserone were to compete on the womans team, everyone would have a cow. At this point, it's blantent transphobias. So if the transgender athletes are within a similar range of the athletes they're competing with then it shouldn't be a problem at all. It shouldn't be a problem to begin with, but that is a great compromise for now.

I mean, being on hrt significantly changes your body and bone density and all that goes into the whole natural "men vs women" thing

Athletes should be required to take hormone therapy in order to balance them to already competing athletes, but if treated there should be no problem.

Athletes are only separated because of the different hormone levels in their bodies, making it unfair to some athletes. If their hormones are the same, then their bodies would be chemically the same, regardless of their gender, which would make the game fair.

if a trans woman's hormone levels are equal to that of a cisgender woman's hormone levels (and visa-versa for men) then there is no reason as to why they shouldn't be able to compete, for there is no unfair advantage or imbalance.

For example, there are many transgender athletes that are very successful and skilled like Lia Thomas. She is a champion in swimming and go against other women.

Again I think if hormon leaves are the same the person is likely to be more biologically similar to one gender then the other but I would have to study it more before I really argue this.

After 2 years of taking feminising hormones, the push-up and sit-up differences disappeared but transwomen were still 12% faster. A year is whats recomend before transwomen start competing with women there is still a stamina/speed advantage which is huge in sports also the data is from british medical journal

no because then it caps women who may have higher horomone counts, and just makes an exception for someone who shouldnt be in that competition.

The only reason athletes are separated by sex is because someone assigned male at birth will have higher testosterone levels, which make it easier for muscles to develop faster.

A transexual woman that has gone through male puberty still reaps benefits physically, chemically, mentally and emotionally whereas a biological woman who has gone through female puberty will likewise suffer in those categories in comparison to their competitors who have gone through male puberty and likewise almost all competitive sports with the exception of Motorsport and Equestrian based sports.

I would say no, because God made a man and a women, that is why we don't see any co-ed professional sports

the opinions of all athletes in the field need to be taken into account. if majority of athletes feel unsafe and cheated if a transgender athlete is competing with them then that should be the most important deciding factor no matter if their hormone levels are the same.

Boys will always have the advantage due to the structure of their autonomy; including muscles, bone, and strength.

No, they should not be able to play. it would end up with all of injuries and more arguments about pay
