Can a Trans

Can a Trans Runner Like Me
Compete Fairly? | NYT Opinion Video
NYT August 12, 2021
In the highly politicized
debate
over whether transgender women
should be allowed to play women’s sports,
opinions tend to divide into
two starkly opposing camps.
There are those people —
including lawmakers in dozens of states —
who argue that the integrity of
girls’ and women’s sports needs to be safeguarded
against people assigned male at
birth and the physical advantages they may possess.
The other side argues that by
the very fact of their gender transition,
trans girls and women have
earned the right to compete as their chosen gender.
But Andie Taylor,
a 48-year-old trans woman and
competitive runner
who has much to gain or lose in
this debate,
finds herself staking out a
more nuanced position,
somewhere in the apolitical
middle ground.
In the Opinion video above,
Ms. Taylor describes
how she is eager to compete
among women and yearns for inclusion —
but only if the scientific
research unequivocally shows
that her years living as a male
did not give her an advantage.
There is little research
regarding the performance of
transgender athletes,
in part because their numbers
are so small.
Some evidence suggests
that trans women retain some
athletic advantages
after a year of undergoing
testosterone suppression.
Researchers have also found
that those advantages,
with time, largely fall away.
As research advances,
Ms. Taylor is imploring all
sides in the debate
to refrain from using the issue
for political gain.
“I want to win,” she says,
“but
I only want to win if I know it’s fair.”
