Elite British Sportswomen Express Concerns Over Transgender Inclusion in Female Categories

A recent BBC study surveyed over 100 elite British sportswomen regarding their views on transgender women competing in female categories. Many expressed discomfort with the idea but feared backlash for speaking out. Concerns included unfair advantages and harm to women’s sports. While some advocate for inclusivity, others prioritize fairness and safety.

Research on the topic is limited with ongoing studies exploring the effects of transitioning on athletic performance. Despite calls for open categories, several governing bodies have banned transgender women from competing in female events. The debate continues on finding a balance between inclusivity and maintaining fair competition.
