How would you feel about being tested and having your competition possibly be based on some aspect of your biology other than your own identity?

Topic: Human Sexuality

Answer the following questions:

You are on the International Olympic Committee and are considering an athlete with a DSD or a trans athlete. How would you determine if the athlete should compete as a female or male?

Now, you’re the athlete. Assume you had always felt the gender identity that you have now; how would you feel about being tested and having your competition possibly be based on some aspect of your biology other than your own identity?

Would you believe that certain aspects of the testing should be kept private?

Would it be fair if all people competed against each other, rather than having separate women’s and men’s competitions?

Is it fair to have different guidelines for transwomen than transmen competing in elite competitions like the Olympics?
