Thought For the Day: The Inclusion of Transgender People Into Female Sport Cannot Be Balanced With Fairness Due To the Retained Differences in Strength, Stamina, and Physique That Are Present

“The inclusion of transgender people into female sport cannot be balanced with fairness due to the retained differences in strength, stamina and physique that are present when comparing the average female with the average transgender female/non-binary person who was assigned male at birth (whether with or without the involvement of testosterone suppression). … For the sport of swimming, the inclusion of transgender people on the grounds of fairness cannot co-exist in the current competitive model. Swimming should choose to offer competition in which the female category is protected for reasons of competitive fairness.” – World Swimming Coaches Association
