Gender Segregation In Sports

Two seconds are prodigious differences in track and field, especially short sprint such as the 200-meter dash. Gender segregation in sports was a way to open up opportunism to women because men have more physical advantages, which is why they would dominate in sports if sport weren’t divided into a women’s league and men’s league. Transgender women who contend against cis females in high school without taking any medication gives them an immense advantage over cis women, making the competition unfair. Cis women athletes who want to compete in a professional level are not going to be given a fair chance to succeed and to work up to the top when transgender women who biologically have the body of a male are competing against them. A

This includes competing in a high school, college, and professional level. This side of such a controversial topic argues that not permitting transgender women to compete with cis women is discriminant, but such a bold claim cannot be held on to as true. In fact such a claim is apocryphal because all cis women athletes are not given a fair chance to thrive all the way to the top when they have to go against transgender women who have a huge and a quiet unfair advantage over them due to the fact that they were born a male.

This especially applies to transgender women athletes who do not have to take any sort of medication to compete in women league sports. This still applies to sports on the college level and professional level because even with the requirements of hormonal therapy. Transgender women who reach the testosterone level requirement still have almost four times more testosterone than a cis woman. Not only does their significantly higher testosterone level give them an advantage, but men also have larger internal organs, different hip structures, and no hormones can reformat a whole body to take away the athletic advantage that transgender women

In her article “Do Transgender Athletes Have an Unfair Advantage?”(2016) Brynn Tannehill states that “The IOC still considers baking soda a potential doping agent, though. Many common cough syrups, lozenges, eye drops, cold medications, diet products, nasal sprays, and allergy medications will also result in a medical disqualification for being at an unfair advantage. Clearly, the IOC does not approach matters of unfair advantage with an under-abundance of caution.”. The IOC clearly is does not know how to approach a situation with confusion between fairness and unfairness. This proves that whether the IOC approves it or not, does not means it becomes the fair and candid decision in all aspects as to whether transgender women should be allowed to compete in a female
