In 2016 the International Olympic committee ruled that transgender athletes can compete in the Olympics without undergoing sex reassignment surgery. In 2018 the International Association of Athletics Federations, track’s governing body, ruled that women who have more than 5 nano-mols per liter of testosterone in their blood—like South African sprinter and Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya—must either compete against men, or take medication to reduce their natural testosterone levels. The IAAF stated that women in the five-plus category have a “difference of sexual…

As a generalisation, here's my response: Given the current state of gender reassignment surgery, my answer is "no," though I fully support transgender people and transgender rights.
@9J7G89R3mos3MO
No, there should be a separate classification for transgender athletes unless testosterone or estrogen levels fall within certain parameters
@9F5BKKY7mos7MO
Only if they completed a full transition

In a move that has sparked widespread discussion, World Netball has officially banned transgender players from participating in women's international competitions. This decision, announced on Monday, comes as part of a new participation and inclusion policy that aims to address the complex issue of gender identity in sports. The policy, effective immediately, has been met with both support and criticism from various quarters of the sports and LGBTQ+ communities.The ban applies strictly to international competitions, leaving national governing bodies with the autonomy to adapt, modify, or completely disregard these guidelines for their domestic competitions. This flexibility allows for a diverse approach to the inclusion of transgender athletes at the national level, reflecting the varying legal and social landscapes across different countries.World Netball's decision follows a trend of sports organizations grappling with the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. The debate centers around finding a balance between inclusivity and fairness, particularly in terms of physiological advantages. Proponents of the ban argue that it is necessary to ensure a level playing field in women's sports, while opponents view it as discriminatory and a setback for transgender rights.The policy has ignited a broader conversation about the role of sports governing bodies in addressing gender identity and inclusivity. As the world becomes more aware of and sensitive to gender diversity, the challenge for sports organizations is to create policies that respect the rights of all athletes while maintaining the integrity of competitive sports.As the discussion unfolds, World Netball's policy may serve as a precedent for other international sports organizations facing similar dilemmas. The evolving nature of this issue suggests that the conversation around transgender athletes in sports is far from over, with potential implications for how gender and inclusivity are navigated in the sporting world moving forward.
