Trans women in sport: A Thread.
Firstly, let’s confront some of the hysteria.
Each sporting body has their own rules/guidelines & it’s important to remember that all elite trans athletes have abided by those rules set for them. No one has “cheated” or “cheated the system”
Second:
Let’s talk numbers: Globally, about 1% of the worlds population experience some form of gender variance. Of those,about 0.3% are ‘out’ trans people. Of those,about 50% are trans women.
How many people of 50% of 0.3% of 1% are going to “Take over” women’s sport?
But there’s more.
