Should transgender athletes be allowed to compete against athletes that differ from their assigned sex at birth?
In 2016 the International Olympic committee ruled that transgender athletes can compete in the Olympics without undergoing sex reassignment surgery. In 2018 the International Association of Athletics Federations, track’s governing body, ruled that women who have more than 5 nano-mols per liter of testosterone in their blood—like South African sprinter and Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya—must either compete against men, or take medication to reduce their natural testosterone levels.

Abolish gender segregated sports, the implications that someone is the best at "Women's ___" is insulting anyway even if we've all grown adjusted to concept. Injuries happen regardless and sports have become far less rough as time goes on. The question of transgender participation has only highlighted how outdated this concept is.

No, and there is no such thing as "Transgender". Gender is typically used to describe the behaviour of individuals, and is often described using the Marxist word "performitivity" (whether or not they act out male-specific sex stereotypes or female-specific sex stereotypes). Transgender is a failed re-branding of Transsexualism and is offensive to common sense. The motte and bailey of "we just want tolerance and for you to respect our pronouns" vs. "you must agree a trans woman is a real woman" is a non starter for most rational minded adults. No person was ever born in the wrong body. The cult must be stopped
