No, hormones don't change biological sex. See is not assigned at birth. See is determined at egg fertilisation. Basic biology.

Nobody is "assigned" sex at birth, it is determined at conception when the fertilized ova accepts an X or Y chromosome.

No, but create a separate "open" category for any athletes that wish to compete in - transgender or not.

 @B3J3SD3 answered…3wks3W

Transgender athletes (and all athletes) should be against people of similar builds - like in weightlifting

 @B3FCRR6answered…4wks4W

We need a new system that relates to hormone balances. Or remove sex separations in sports. Its a complex matter but for now just let boys be boys.

 @B3BDQRZanswered…4wks4W

Yes, or remove gendered sports categories altogether. Either have no categories for things like archery, shooting etc and weight classes for others
