Transgender Athletes

This brings many concerns to the sporting community at every level of athletics: high school, college, professional and even the Olympics. I have been an amateur boxer for two years, and I would not agree to box a male past sparring practice knowing the biological advantages they were born with despite what they have decided to do to their body to make them “female.” There is plenty of supporting evidence that proves transgender female (male to female) still has the biologic components as a male, to include physicality. Now, the real question is what to do about transgender athletes? Do we allow them to participate in their desired gender division, refuse them participation or create another division? As controversial as this topic has been, worldwide action is being taken slowly as the number of the transgender population grows.
Once we gain a better understanding on the biological and physical similarities and differences of males, females and transgender females; it would assist in creating a blanket method of regulating the integration of transgenders into sports for a fair playing field, by using education on transgenders, by verifying gender qualifications for transgender female athletes and ensuring an effective plan of protection for both transgenders and cisgender (non-transgender) female
