Transgender Athletes 2021 by Lisa Helle https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17 Should male to female (trans woman) and male to female (trans man) be allowed to participate in high school, college, and professional sports?

I don’t think it’s that extreme of a difference and it doesn’t drastically affect the team or overall statistics of the sport.]]> 2021-10-04 17:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790421954 12403921 https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790422674 I’m actually not sure what I think. I feel like if I did a little more research on it I could come to a thought but for now I can’t say anything. There is just so much involved such as what type of sport they are competing and the advantages and disadvantages so it’s a little confusing.]]> 2021-10-04 17:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790422674 Grace Zeman 4240275 https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790422702 I feel like they should be able to with some sports but not all sports because of some of the advantages and disadvantages.]]> 2021-10-04 17:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790422702 Annie Gillen 4230121 https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790423376 I definitely think they should be allowed to participate in sports. They are humans and they have a right to play sports. I just think maybe at higher levels maybe medical testing should be done and it should be try to be fair, but everyone has a right to play a sport at some level. ]]> 2021-10-04 17:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790423376 Zosia Szot https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790423610 I do not think so because i believe that they would be putting the other athletes at a disadvantage. Such as male to female the trans woman would be putting the other athletes at a disadvantage since they are going to be stronger. But I do believe that there are some acceptions such as when the person starts hormone treatment.]]> 2021-10-04 17:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790423610 I think that it definitely depends on the person, the sport, and the level of the sport. Based on all these different things we can make a better decision. 4240279 https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790423770 Lili Olson]]> 2021-10-04 17:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790423770 Ethan Roete 4230223 https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790424145 I believe that they have the right to compete within all levels, and the only issue is finding a way to make it fair for all levels involved. ]]> 2021-10-04 17:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790424145 Transgender athletes 4240169 https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1790424262 I think they should be able to compete because some people enjoy sports and if they are transgender and want to play sports they should be allowed to doesn’t matter if they’re trans or not.

As long as there is no significant advantage.

It would go against their human rights to not let them play sports for their true gender. I believe they just have the right to participate in sports of the gender they identify as, especially if they’ve undergone hormone treatment for a significant amount of time. For example, with hormone treatment—biological men would not have a physical advantage if they participated in a women’s team. I do believe it does get messy when it’s a close contact sport, due to safety concerns. It’s a complex topic but overall I believe transgender men and women deserve rights just the same.]]> 2021-10-06 03:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1795155275 Parker 4222235 https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1797882274 I feel like it should be aloud in some sports but not Others because if a man went female aNd then went into the UFC that wouldnt be fair]]> 2021-10-06 22:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_helle/qbu78p23k1yckr17/wish/1797882274
