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

No, trans women have a physical advantage over Women

yes, but only against other transgender athletes.

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

The federal government shouldn't be apart of this

Yes, but allow dividing competitive sports into up to five classes based on physiology.

Yes, even if biological sex was the deciding factor there aren't only two sexes. For example, intersex people who have both male and female parts naturally, some produce different hormone levels than the "norm" anyways.

No they’re freaks

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.

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

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

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

This is not a political question.

Decided by the athletic organization.

Yes, and the separation of gender/sex in sports is sexist and unnecessary. There are plenty of women athletes that perform better than men but are held to different standards that change how their accomplishments are viewed.

Eliminate gendered events and competitions

They might need to create their own transgender leagues. It's a difficult situation because someone should not have an added advantage, but they should still be able to compete. That might mean that they have to start their own leagues, though.

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.

No, unless their competitors are aware and agree

Yes, and athletic events should group contestants based purely on physical traits like weight and height, rather than gender or sex.

Only if they compete in the event of the gender as the gender they were at birth.

Yes, but always in the male divisions.

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

Yes, but not with cisgender members of their transitioned gender

Yes, they should be allowed to compete in olympic events but compete in the event based on the sex they were born initially.

They should be allowed to compete in a transgender league

Depends on the sport. Not in contact sports or strength sports. All of them should be required to have their hormone levels equal to the gender they are competing against.

I really don’t care at all

Yes, and replace gender divisions with physical classes (ie. weight, hormone level, muscle mass etc).

Yes if separate categories are created.

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

This is for the sporting organizations to decide, that said, there are major biological differences in men and women that hormone treatments cannot change. It is unfair for a transgender athlete to compete in their chosen genders category and in some sports (boxing, MMA) can be dangerous for competitors.

Transgenders should compete against transgender only

No, they should be separated from both genders and in their own division.

No, they should be separated from both genders and put into their own division.

yes, but they should be at the same level as the other people

No, unless the events are coed. Or if there is a transgender category (other than female and male).

Yes, the government should not mandate who can play in what league. It should be left up to individuals and the leagues themselves.

Yes, but there should be new categories added for transgender athletes to fairly compete with their gender.

Have a separate leagues

Yes, but there should be a trans women and trans women league.

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 let each competition decide

Yes, I can only speak to MtF HRT, but going on HRT decreases muscle mass and bone density, thus effectively removing any actual differences. Honestly, I think gender classification should probably just be removed and replaced with just having sports be based on weight classification.

No, it gives an unfair advantage or disadvantage

Yes, but they should have a separate category so it is fair.

By the government, yes

This should be the choice of the commissioner of the sport

Yes, but in a separate category where transgender athletes compete with other transgender athletes

No, only if they never experienced a natural puberty

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

Yes, they should compete... along side peers of their same biological sex.

The determination for which division, men or women, a transgender individual can and should compete in should be determined by the levels of testosterone

Yes, but it’s really up to the sports organizations and whether audiences watch it.

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

Yes, Sports shouldn’t be categorized by sex

Yes, but they should compete in a league of their own to justify fairness

Yes, as long as the particular league allows it.

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

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.)

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

This should be decided by the people organizing the athletic event. Also, create more non-gender specific athletic events.

Yes, but only if they are placed in a separate gender category.

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

Sports should be based on ability not gender or sex

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

Athletic events should be separated by weight class that is independent of gender.

No, and it should be made illegal to be openly "transgender". We should make it easier for people with gender dysphoria to get help so they may realise the person they were created by God to be.

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

Regardless, this should be determined by the event organizers

No, but the government should not be involved in this decision

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

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

No, only if their hormone levels are the same as the gender they identify with. It is proven that biological men, for example, have advantages over biological women in women's sports

Yes, I am transgender

Yes, but only after some form of medical transition

No, unless they get sex reassignment surgery, biological men, for example, have advantages over biological women in women's sports

Yes, but also make separate divisions for transgender athletes who haven't undergone hormone therapy

Yes, but only with people who fall in the same category as themselves

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

They Should be in their own league.

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.

Doesn't concern the government

Keep the federal government out of sports. Sports have their own governing bureaus anyway.

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

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

Yes, athletics should not be segregated by gender

Only if they transitioned without going through puberty as male

Regardless, we should sexually desegregate athletics

No, sports should be divided by the individuals skill level in the sport, rather than the person's sex.

Yes, sports should be divided by the individuals skill level in the sport, rather than the person's sex.

Personally no, but it should be up to the school/league, local governments can ban it in public schools if they wish.

Yes, but in the men's divisions.

Yes, but only in trans-specific divisions.

It should be the choice of each individual organization.

Yes, but the decision should be left up to sport authority and not the government

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

Yes, if they are over the age of 18 and their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete. Individuals under the age of 18 should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate

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