This is a question of science, not of opinion. One that should be measured in facts and figures, not opinions. Cycling champion Hannah Arensman has quit professional racing [news.com.au] after losing to a transgender cyclist. Arensman believes that males who have gone through puberty and have developed an androgenized body have an unfair advantage over athletes who were born female. As an example of this, transgender cyclist Tiffany Thomas, 47, has gained 20 wins since starting racing in 2018. Arensman's belief in this opinion is strong enough that a brief [adflegal.org] has been filed with the supreme court on the issue.

Should athletes who have developed as males be allowed to compete against women in female competitions?
