    You’re asking them to change who they are to fit your preferences. There is no trans division and few if any co-ed divisions. The article even points that out: the bicycling competition changed the Male division to Male/Other when forcing her out of the Women’s category which is to say labeling her as “Other”.

    There is also very little evidence to support that trans women have any advantages, due to limited data as trans athletes are so very incredibly rare.

      He can compete without changing who he is: a man. He’s not Other, he can complete in the Men’s division because he’s a man.

      Men have an undeniable biological advantage over women in sports. Taking wrong-sex hormones will not eliminate that advantage.

        Well now you’re in disagreement with not only her but also, ironically, the organization which banned her from a competition lmao.
