It crosses lines of fairness and and what is acceptable within a gender. It creates new questions for myself being a health professional such as how do we approach PEDs within this realm if it isn't used for gain but for medical purposes. ]]> 2018-08-27 01:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ctipton3/oayxy4m3clo3/wish/275416390 Researching High schools and UIL are discussing ways to approach the matter of gender identity and sports participation. ctipton3 https://padlet.com/ctipton3/oayxy4m3clo3/wish/275420753 During my library search I came across a journal article found in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The one that jumped out to me is the 2011 National 
School Climate Survey
The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth 
in Our Nation’s Schools. This study presented the data showing the mental effects of this population participating in sports.

Many people have strong opinions on this issue. Does a person born male have to participate with male teams even though that person identifies as female? After looking into these issues I myself am left asking even more questions.

In the biological science realm it has been shown that certain hormones will give an athlete more of an edge during competition (Reeser, 2005). These hormones such as testosterone are found naturally in the body but can also be supplemented. If a person is supplementing due to an orientation transition is it being used for athletic gains? 

When it comes to the mental state of those who identify differently than their birth gender there are many obstacles they must overcome. These issues are even more compounded when you add the competition of the athletic world. ]]> 2018-08-27 02:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ctipton3/oayxy4m3clo3/wish/275424671 References ctipton3 https://padlet.com/ctipton3/oayxy4m3clo3/wish/275426290 Bell, R., Ratzlaff, S.
