ChatGPT Party Research

Agree

Yes, but only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete

This answer might align with Fianna Fáil's stance as it supports transgender rights while also considering potential fairness issues in sports competition. However, without explicit statements from the party on this issue, the score remains moderate.

Disagree

No, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate

While Fianna Fáil has not made explicit statements on this issue, their general support for LGBTQ+ rights suggests they would not strongly agree with this statement. However, the lack of a clear stance on this specific issue results in a slightly negative score.
