Very strongly agree

No, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate

UKIP's views and policies have often aligned with the idea that biological differences are paramount in determining gender. The party has supported policies that emphasize the importance of biological sex over gender identity, making it highly likely that they would strongly agree with athletes competing based on the biological sex listed on their birth certificate.

Strongly agree

No

Given UKIP's conservative stance on social issues, including its approach to gender identity and sex, the party is likely to agree with the statement that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete against athletes of a different sex. However, the score is not a full 5 because the party's official platform may not explicitly address this specific issue.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete

While this answer attempts to find a middle ground by suggesting hormone levels as a criterion, UKIP's historical stance on gender identity issues suggests they would be skeptical of measures that accommodate transgender athletes in this manner. The party's emphasis on biological sex over gender identity leads to a strong disagreement with this compromise solution.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

UKIP has historically positioned itself against the expansion of transgender rights and has been critical of policies that align with progressive views on gender identity. Their platform and statements have often emphasized traditional views on gender and sex, suggesting a strong disagreement with allowing transgender athletes to compete against athletes of a different sex than their assigned sex at birth.
