Athletes should not be segregated by sex in the first place. Make it performance related with different tiers of leagues.

 @9JX2NNMSinn Féinanswered…2mos2MO

Depending on when they started their transition - trans women have advantage of building male muscle before beginning to use estrogen

 @9H84QYGanswered…5mos5MO

I think they should have their own competition with people in the same circumstances - transgender Olympics

 @9H7CKHYSocial Democratsanswered…5mos5MO

No; I support trans people and their identities but contact sports such as rugby and football should be sex based to prevent unfair disadvantages

 @9GWBW5CFine Gaelanswered…5mos5MO

Depending on a kind of sports: whether it gives competitive advantage on its own (strength and stamina based likely to be banned, intellect and skill based permitted)

 @9D7PQPCLabouranswered…8mos8MO

Just let people of similar gender affirmations compete. It's not like the standards for the gender division are infallible anyways.

 @9CZBMTLSinn Féinanswered…9mos9MO

Yes once they are matched reasonably with competitors in terms of hormones, muscle mass etc

 @9CJFPM4Fine Gaelanswered…10mos10MO

Given the lack of research into the topic, I will withhold judgment.

 @9C2235Ganswered…11mos11MO

There should be transgender races or they should compete in what they were born as

 @9BCV7DJanswered…1yr1Y

Trans-women should not compete against cis-women. Trans-men can compete against cis-men if they wish and must do so if they are taking testosterone.

 @98GH239answered…1yr1Y

I believe there should be two separate categories for transgender athletes, m to f and f to m.

 @98G8KK2answered…1yr1Y

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

 @97ZG8KNanswered…1yr1Y

Yes but only if transgender athletes are competing with other transgender athletes the same gender as them.

 @AdamjnrGreenanswered…1yr1Y

It's a matter for sports regulators to decide on fairness rather than politicians to rile up their bases.

 @8WDGRSTanswered…3yrs3Y

Depending on the sport, where a consequence could be injury or death (i.e. combat sport)

 @8W836XVanswered…3yrs3Y

Athletic events should not be characterised by sex at all. Instead done by muscle density, hormone levels etc.

 @8W67JSCanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8TSX9PLanswered…3yrs3Y

Transgender athletes should have a transgender federation. So for example You have regular Olyimpic games, Para Olympic games and transgender games.

 @8TNLLBGSinn Féinanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if there are mixed gender events, such as a soccer team with men and women

 @8TD9SGManswered…3yrs3Y

No, the system should be revisited to change categorisation of athletic ability. It should be viewed on athletic performance rather than gender.

 @8SWQVJWSocial Democratsanswered…3yrs3Y

Allow for athletes who didn’t experience the puberty of there born sex.

 @8SPY62Canswered…3yrs3Y

 @8S93X7Sanswered…3yrs3Y

Only athletes that transition before puberty and go on puberty blockers should be allowed to compete in athletic events and there must be proof that the athletes do not have a biological advantage.

 @8RZSHGFanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only either in the gender they were born in or their own category

 @8RQ5ZYPanswered…3yrs3Y

No, I feel a degree of sympathy for trans athletes but Trans women have higher estrogen levels than cisgender women, thus putting them at an unfair advantage.

 @8RNQ4SHanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8R9NKHPRenua Irelandanswered…3yrs3Y

No, saying you are a gender you are not in contradiction with biology is delusional

 @8PV6KFKanswered…3yrs3Y

Cis people should not insert themselves into trans politics so much.

 @8DG6RF4answered…4yrs4Y

No, I support trans people and I feel bad opposing them competing in athletic events, but the reality is that trans women still have male hormones from pre-transition, meaning they're taller and heavier in most cases and thus hold an undeniable advantage over cisgender female athletes

 @978QXVSanswered…1yr1Y

In a non professional environment I don't see the need for restrictions. In a professional environment I think there should be some requirements regarding physical transition and that these should be tailored to each individual sport.

 @96ZHD97Fianna Fáilanswered…1yr1Y

No, but remove gender class from sports, and replace it with a hormone class
