Athletes’ unfair advantage

-

I’ve read reports stating that trans women could compete against biological women in sport. This is grossly unfair because of the advantages that the male hormone testostero­ne gives. The sporting authoritie­s should create a third category of ‘trans’ competitor­s. This would be fair to all.

It would seem that there is a dearth of women transition­ing to men and then trying to compete in male events, as opposed to vice versa. Could it be that the main reason men want to compete as women is that it’s probably the only way they could win? Anyone who thinks it’s a question of ethics and not pandering is wrong. Let transgende­r people have their own sporting events.
