The issue of transgender people in sports is one that has been around for a while, but there is finally starting to be a change in the debate. There are those who argue that transgender people should not be allowed to compete in sports at all, as it would create an unfair playing field. However, others believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to participate in sport, regardless of their gender identity.
This debate is far from resolved, but hopefully we can move towards a more inclusive future where everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of sport.
At last week’s Sport Resolutions dispute resolution service, several experts gathered to discuss this very topic. For David Grevemberg, of the Centre for Sport and Human Rights, inclusion mattered most.
He believes that everyone should be given the opportunity to participate in sport, regardless of their gender identity. This is a view that is becoming more and more common, as we move towards a more inclusive future.
