Supporters of transgender athletes contend that everyone should be able to participate in sports, regardless of gender identification, and that sports should be about inclusiveness.
Advocates contend that excluding transgender athletes on the basis of their biological sex is discriminatory and erodes the advancements achieved in promoting equality in the sports world.
Critics counter that transgender women may still have physical advantages including muscular strength, bone density,
And cardiovascular capability, especially if they transition after puberty. This might give them an unfair advantage over cisgender women.
In competitive sports where physical strength and endurance are essential, such as weightlifting, swimming, and track and field, this worry is particularly acute.
