Did somebody say curling? I recruited the ringer from Stettler… first game we lost 5-2, second game was a win but by a close margin and the last game was decided by one stone for each team to tie break. We won the third game 5-4. @hkgpilot was a beast sneaking 2 stones into the house through a wall the opponents had built up. Amazing! As all top three teams are tied with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, the tournament organizers will use their tie breaking system to determine the top two teams to go to the semi finals. What ever the result, the organization of the event was flawless and the association has done a great job organizing the first ever curling tournament in Hong Kong. #curling #hongkong #hongkongcurlingassociation #hongkongcurling #curlinghongkong @festivalwalkglacier @hkcurling #sportforall #sports #fitness #sweating #sweeping #stones @festivalwalkhk @kungpowkings #kungpowkings #kungpowkingshockey (at Festival Walk Glacier) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDBKzQJPbM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Are transgender athletes in sport acceptable? An insight into the controversies and experiences of transgender athletes in sport

Coming into the 21st century, the population has become more accepting to the people in the LGBT community, and rightly so. It is not acceptable to discriminate anyone, let alone someone who may not feel comfortable with the body they was born in. With around 1.2% to 6.8% of the 7.8 billion people on this earth identifying as LGBT, this shows the diversity this world has. However, within sport, it is still widely argued that trans athletes should not be allowed to compete, but is this fair?

In regards to athletes who were born female, and made the transition to male are said to be more acceptable, according to existing research. This was undertaken by measuring muscle mass (via magnetic resonance imaging) and hormone levels (via urine and blood analyses) before and 1 year after cross-sex hormone treatment. Results showed that after a year, transgender males administered cross-sex hormones had reduced their testosterone levels to that of a cisgender male. The science behind these findings show that transgender male athletes (those born as a female) are shown to have no competitive advantage after a year of cross-sex hormone distribution. So following this information on transgender male athletes, would you say that your perception of trans-male athletes has changed? If so let’s see if your mind can be changed with the discussion of transgender female athletes.

So why is there so much more controversy towards transgender female athletes? Of course there are more factors that people bring to the table such as pre-transition muscle mass, bone structure, testosterone etc. However, these claims have also been tested by science. The results show that with testosterone blockers and the consumption of oestrogen, after the year of cross-sex hormone distribution, the advantages can barely be seen, if there is any. Although studies were carried out with a small range of participants, there is much more research to be done. What would your opinion be after the information given?

However, there still seems to be a huge stigma towards this side of trans athletes. Former Olympic swimming champion Sharron Davies has compared the controversy over transgender athletes competing in women's sports to the East German doping scandal of the 1980s. This is a big statement for a former Olympic champion to make as her voice can be heard and spread due to her position in the sporting world, and may cause negative views and assumptions towards the transgender athlete community. This is where the issue of transphobia comes into play, but that will touched upon later.

The case of Rachel McKinnon

youtube

Rachel McKinnon is a transgender athlete who won the World Cycling 200 metre sprint record for women in 2018, making her the first transgender World Track Cycling Champion. She was born a man and argues that she has no unfair competitive advantage in her genetic make up. From 2.30 in the video, she released a picture of her testosterone levels, showing that her testosterone levels were “nearly in-detectable” . Moreover, the trans community, as well as some in the medical profession, claim that trans women who make the shift via hormonal therapy after puberty lose any male muscle-mass advantage within a year. This suggests there is empirical evidence that she had no advantage over her fellow female athletes. Do you believe that transgender female athletes have a competitive advantage?

Controversy

Like with any touchy subject, the transgender athletic community (as well as the LGBT community) has faced serious abuse and backlash over their choices as a human. Some people chose to be ignorant who have tunnel-visioned views about the world, whereas some are academics trying to prove a point. Whatever the case it’s fair to say that the community is under scrutiny and a judgemental eye of the rest of the world. While trans-athletes are trying to come into the world of sport and make their mark, transphobia is evident whether it be in the news or the tabloids, which runs down the image the transgender community have been trying to fight for. Transphobia is a very serious word and has a lot of harsh meaning, which is what the majority of trans athletes go through day to day.

A case in Connecticut, USA showed how the parents of a high school created a petition to ban transgender females from running in the high school track and field state championships, due to trans athletes winning the past two championships. Supporters of two petitions to eliminate the transgender regulations claim that their efforts aren’t aimed at the individual athletes who will be most directly impacted by the regulations. This then brought the question, how this act of discrimination would affect the trans athletes, as it is hard to debate the impact such rules and regulations could have on the transgender athletes themselves. In history, the negative effects of discrimination can be seen plain and simple, so its no question the negative impact it would have on trans-athletes.

How can this be changed?

Of course one article of the transgender athletic community will not bring light to every person with a negative view, but for the valid points put across for the life of transgender athletes, it may make you as the readers ask yourself, have I ever been transphobic?

Whether intentionally or not, you may want to ask yourself have you ever made comments or spoken in a negative way without any research or evidence? Of course everyone is entitled to their own views, but the research that can be done may make some think a bit differently. Overall, your views are your views, and I respect whatever you believe, but even if after all of this you still think negatively about the trans-athletic community (and the LGBT community) just take a step back and think how your comments may impact the psychological state and well-being of another human. Can your views and actions have a serious impact on others?
