Should transgender athletes be allowed to compete against athletes that differ from their assigned sex at birth?

I am avidly disinterested in sports and so I do not care.

Transgender people can all compete in the male category, and biological females who are not transgender have their own

Depends on potential advantage in each sport and hormone levels of the individual

Gender shouldn't matter in sports. Aka play mixed. If this means that most athletes at the top are men then so be it.

Trans people should compete with other trans people.

Maybe change the way sports competition are organized

We should abolish gender-based competition in sports. Just use body height/weight/bmi to sort people into weight classes or whatever.

This is not a matter for the government to decide on either way

All athletes including transgender athletes should be able to compete in weight/size classes irrespective of gender. (Like the weight/size classes used in boxing, for example.)

Yes, in their own respective leagues

Yes, but give them their own category.

Abolish gendered sports

Their own weight class.

Yes, but only in circumstances where there is no risk of biological advantage

Should obviously be up to the sports organisations. So no national ban.

Yes, but it should be decided when they are allowed to compete by the relevant international athlete association

it depends on the time of transition.

No, but this should be up to sports organizations to enforce, not the government

Transgender athletes should compete in their own divisions

No, transgender and non-binary athletes should compete in a separate category.

depends based on physical equity

They should ideally have a league to compete in unto their own.

Yes, but only in trans-specific divisions.

Depending on their physical capabilities I think they should, but they should be equal to the other athletes

Transgender athletes should either compete based on their biological sex, or in a separate category.

Yes. All athletes should have the opportunity to compete according to their biological sex.

No they’re freaks

No they’re cross dressing freaks. Grow up. Get help.

Yes if separate categories are created.

a trans man should be playing a mans sport not a girl sport

Shouldn't be a choice by government

Yes, but only if they began HRT before puberty

The event organizers should be the only ones to have any say in this, and athletics events should receive no public funding or advertising

Yes, and athletic groupings should be based on ability, not gender

Should have own league and compete against what gender they are.

Yes, but if it occurs that the person makes the decision to revert back to their biological gender in the future, any awards, titles, championships, prize monies, etc earned as a result of their competing as their formerly identified gender, will need to be forfeited (including team titles, championships, etc.)

Yes, but they should compete in a separate category

Yes, as long as they meet the same requirements for those who are not transgender

Athletic event companies should be allowed to allow whichever athletes they want to allow to compete in their competitive athletic competition events for athletes...

No, cisnormative gendered leagues should be abolished, there should be a general & cis-woman league then anyone can make their own with whatever regulations.

By the government, yes

Yes, as long as they pass the same tests that sis gendered people must pass

Transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in their own league at more competitive levels. For things like school sports they should be allowed to compete.

Yes, this should be the decision of the hosts of the competitions, not a government mandate

No, but allow transgender athletes to compete in their own sections just for trans-men and trans-women

Yes, based on a state or school division stance on the matter not for the federal government to decide.

Yes, but get rid of gendered sports in general if everything was merged this would be a non-issue

Regardless, the decision should be made by athletic organizations with no government involvement.

Yes, but in a separate transgender (non-binary) event.

How do you think fairness in sports should be defined when it comes to athletes with different gender identities?

Do you believe that regulations around transgender athletes should be based on hormone levels, or is there another approach you find more fair?

How would you feel if someone you care about was directly affected by restrictions on athletes competing in line with their gender identity?

Do you think sports should continue enforcing categories based on gender or shift towards a different model altogether?

Should personal identity or biological factors take precedence when determining which sports category someone competes in?

Have you ever felt excluded from something because of your identity or characteristics, and how does that influence your thoughts on this issue?

How do you think competing in sports affects the identity and self-expression of transgender athletes differently compared to others?

If society moves towards full inclusion of transgender athletes, what potential challenges and benefits do you think this will create in sports culture?

Do you think there is a way for everyone – transgender athletes, other competitors, and fans – to feel respected and supported in competitive sports?

Yes, as long as the particular league allows it.

I would say if they did do that it would have to be agreed with all of the other people that around them and in that area. I would just say make sure with everyone before you do it.

Yes, Sports shouldn’t be categorized by sex

There should not be any separate competitions based on sex, every athlete should compete together.

Regardless, this should be handled by the sports organization in question to allow or deny. The consumer can then decide to support or oppose.

Regardless, we should sexually desegregate athletics

Individual athletic organizations should come up with their own rules on how to allow transgender athletes to participate without giving them an unfair advantage/disadvantage. The governing bodies should also have oversight committees to ensure no individual or class of athlete is unfairly burdened by these rules or policies.

I really don’t care at all

Individual athletic organizations should come up with their own rules on how to allow transgender athletes to participate without giving them an unfair advantage/disadvantage.

Yes, but they should have their own athletic events separate from men or women.

No, only heterosexual and asexual Males, females and intersex people who identify as either cisgender or non-binary be allowed to compete in athletic events

Yes, but Physiological standards should be used to determine who competes against who rather than the binary male/female test used today.

No and transitioning should be illegal

If a trans athlete can prove that them competing will not create an unfair advantage to themselves, then yes. Otherwise competitions reserve the right to refuse them and force them to compete in their biological sex group.

Yes, but they should have their own league separate from gendered leagues.

Yes, but only if it is certain that they do not have an unfair advantage against other athletes.

Yes they should be aloud and go on either as a girl or boy depending on what they are identify themselves as.

No. Any person who does should be banned from all public sporting events for life.

Yes, but in the men's divisions.

In your opinion, does the current debate about transgender athletes reflect deeper societal values around fairness and equality?

Yes, but only after a certain amount of time spent on HRT.

Yes, I am transgender

No, but allow the playing of all sports by any gender against any gender

Yes, in gender neutral athletic competitions

I dont think its fair because even if they have gone through the process of transition their bodies are still different and nothing against transgender people maybe in some special cases.

It should be a athletic association issue, not the government.

No, transgender athletes should compete against other transgender athletes in order to keep competition fair

it does not matter they should be able to go against whoever they want

Yes, but inly if the bone density is equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete.

I feel as if that you’re transgender you’re automatically that gender whether you gone through the full thing over not

If you have a transgender woman who is wrestling, you wouldn't expect a 200 lb. 6'3" athlete to make a fair competition against a 170 lb. 5'6" cis gendered woman

No, it gives an unfair advantage or disadvantage

They should be allowed to compete in a transgender league

It is not the government's place to control athletic events. Leave the decision to the sport's leagues.

Government should not usurp authority for determining participation rules from sports organizations.

It’s sports. Do whatever you want.

Yes, because the federal government doesn't have the jurisdiction to say otherwise.

No, unless they have their own categories |man->female/female->man|, or want to compete with men (which would be tougher)

No, Transgender females will have had years or decades of male horomones during their early lives. This results in a severe inequality of phyiscal ability.

Yes, as long as they have been reasonably assessed to not have an unfair advantage due to being transgender

Yes/No they should only participate with other transgender or with their biological equals.
