The UK’s Sports Councils Equality Group has released a new report on the inclusion of transgender athletes in sport. The report is the result of an 18-month review process, and it suggests that trans women retain stamina and strength advantages over their cisgender female teammates, leading to what they call a “values-based dichotomy” between inclusion and the integrity of the sport itself. The report has been heavily criticized by LGBTQ advocates. The World’s Bianca Hillier has the details.
