trans athletes
Transitioning sports participants
Trans athletes are athletes who are transgender—competing in sports while identifying as a gender different from their sex assigned at birth.
The term appears most often in debates about whether trans women (male-to-female) should compete in women's categories: The league updated its policy on trans athletes.
Discussion typically centers on perceived physical advantages, fairness, and inclusion.
