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

This depends on the sport.

All transgender atheletes should be required to compete in the male category, or a seperate trans category.

Transgender men have no biological advantage so there is no issue so they can compete but if a transgender female has been through male puberty she will always have an advantage even if her hormone levels are the same. It’s a case by case scenario for trans females. If she has not been through male puberty then I don’t see the issue.

Have their own division so it is much fairer on all parties involved

Yes, however only athletic events specifically for transgender athletes and according to rules to create a level playing field.

Weight, height, and muscle mass brackets should define who competes in which category

Yes. Sports should be separated based on physical categories, such as weight classes in wrestling, rather than sex or gender.

No, not yet; the psysiological advantages of male puberty despite hormonal changes during transition, have yet to be shown to be sufficiently mitigated and thus, this represents an unfair advantage for trans women.

This question is too broad. What classes as an athlete, and what level of competition are we discussing?

Yes, obviously it's their choice. It would be much more accessible if sports was less gendered as a whole.

Yes, but only if it is in a sport in which there is not provable scientific advantage to being transgender and if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete

Yes, and no one should be tested for their natural hormone levels as some cis-gendered female athletes have been barred from competing due to their natural testosterone levels.

Different sports governing bodies should be allowed to create their own rules for which athletes can compete in any given category.

Yes, but sports shouldn’t be split by gender and should be split by muscle/body mass classifications

For some sports, if hormone levels are equivilant consistently for atleast 2 years. Very complicated issue.

Yes, but only if the biological sex listed on their birth certificate doesn't give them a major advantage in the competition.

Yes, and athletic competition should be separated by categories that more directly correlate with athletic ability e.g. muscle mass, weight and height brackets

It depends on the sport in question, the age at which the person in question started medically transitioning. The issue is more complex than a yes or no.

Only if the attributes gained through their biological sex ( e.g. Stride length, height, muscle mass) does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to performance

No, either athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate, or there should be a third category

Create “open” category

Please let the transgender athletes decide where they want to compete in (if they want to join with gender assigned to them at birth, the gender they identify with, or separate competition).

Only in casual play or in designated multi-sex competition, allowing athletes to play against those of opposite sex (cisgender and transgender).

Athletes should compete based on a system other than gender or sex since biology is inherently advantaged in some people regardless.

Sports should be segregated in non-gendered categories a la weight class in boxing, to ensure fairness as well as inclusivity.

Yes, but with the aim to remove gender from sports

Has their own category, for competitive sports that could provide an advantage other the birth gender IE 100M sports, otherwise up to the organiser and sport

Yes but more accurate regulation is needed than "hormone levels", such as time spent on hormones, with scientific investigation into the amount of time it takes to become assimilated into each sex on a biological level.

It depends on ability, choice and fairness

No. It should be more nuanced. More categories for competitors e.g. boxing.

Place transgender athletes in competitive events according to relative strength

Yes, but only if their body / strength composition falls within the natural distribution of the gender, they do not have an advanage from transistioning and hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete.

It is a matter for each sport's governing body

Yes, only if it is an aerobic sport, or they transitioned before puberty

No, they should form a section in the races for transgender athletes. Where they can compete amongst their peers.

Sport categories should be competed against my skill. e.g., swimmers should be categoried by strength, speed, etc

No, there should be 2 separate categories for M2F and F2M transgender competition

Yes, but remove gendered sports altogether. Athletes should compete based on skill level

Yes and no... I think sports shouldn't be separated by gender anymore. It should be based on ability.

The government should have no involvement in this social issue. Government regulation of social issues is generally a worse option than allowing society to adapt around the issue.

Should be up to the sport's governing body

This should be left to sports governing bodies and scientists who specialise in this field and are educated on this delicate and important issue.

Yes, but only if they are competing against athletes of a similar weight class or ability level.

It should be up to the sporting bodies in question.

No, they should compete in a tiered system. Those that can perform at Y rate compete against others of Y rating

Yes, however we should abolish sex-based competitions and instead compete based on skill and natural ability across all groups.

No, they should compete in a category of their own

Let the Athletes decide
