Results: Transgender in sports.
Published on 09/15/2023
There has been a few surveys done on this site about different stories of transgender athletes, mainly men that transitioned into women, who then went on to destroy the rest of the competition. This seems to be a huge concern for some people for various reasons, mostly ill informed reasons.

Proponents of anti-trans sports bans are relying on stereotypes that have sexist implications. Which of these facts did you know? just like other youth, transgenders will have varying degrees of physical ability and attributes that may/may not lend themselves to success in the sport of their choice.

Michael Phelps had a unique body type that helped make him a champion. Do you agree with the fact that all sport has athletes with an unfair advantage in some way over other athletes? Should people like Phelps be put in a separate category? I agree that Michael Phelps and athletes like him with clear advantages should be put in a separate category and be banned from competing against normal athletes.
