Transgender athletes are individuals who identify as a gender different from the one assigned to them at birth and participate in sports. Their inclusion in competitive events has sparked discussions about fairness, inclusion, and the impact of hormone therapy on performance. Many sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee, have established guidelines to ensure that transgender athletes can compete while balancing the principles of equity and safety. These guidelines often involve criteria related to hormone levels and the duration of transition, aiming to create a level playing field for all competitors.
