Should transgender athletes be allowed to compete in gendered divisions?

[lens]

There has been a lot of debate surrounding transgender athletes competing in gendered divisions and it's really a complex one. Some argue for inclusivity and equity as competing values in sports. Others point to specific advantages they have and that it will not create a balanced competition. What do you think?

It is a complex issue but I think it's possible if it is well regulated. They can start by allowing transgender athletes with similar identities to compete.

This is what I think about that.

Nothing you would tell me about people that were male and transformed to female losing the masculine advantage and competing in female sports. It is automatically an unfair advantage. Transgenders should just form their gender category and compete amongst themselves.

It’s gonna be a very complicated problem, and I believe that it is important to take into account the gender of the individual in order to ensure fairplay.

No! It is unfair advantage! Last Olympics, the issue become very complex that prompt Olympic bodies call for a review. I watch a boxing match between transgender and a female boxer. The female boxer broke down and start crying. She said that she have not received this kind of punches in all her boxing career. And she felt like she is fighting a man.
