Why this petition matters

Started by Charity McCloud

Participants who are born biologically male, are changing and dominating women's sports. There are many of these examples in a variety of sporting events.  Each appear to have followed the rules set in place regarding transgender athletes, however, the rules are unfair to biological women. According to review, men naturally have bigger hearts and lungs, making swimming and other sports easier for them. Additionally, they possess greater bone densities, such as a wider wingspan, which testosterone blockers can't alter. Finally, the review discusses that although hormone therapy can reduce muscle size, it can't reduce it to female levels. Biological males have a clear biological advantage, and is taking away the spotlight and opportunities from female athletes who have been training hard their entire lives.

 

By signing this petition, you are urging the NCAA, USA Sports and Olympic level sports to recognize these biological advantages and create a separate competition league for transgender athletes, or alter the rules and mandate that transgender athletes must complete a 4-8 year hormone therapy transition period before competing as their preferred gender. In addition another solution is to create a division for these athletes to compete that is better suited for these differences. This is the beginning of a fight for women's equality in sports. We've come so far, and we can't let this injustice get in the way of diminishing the work our amazing female athletes have done in the USA.
