We hear stories of trans women athletes like Anne Andres breaking female weightlifting records in Canada.
Or, Laurel Hubbard from New Zealand, one of the first openly transgender athletes to compete at the Olympic Games just two years ago in Tokyo.
Or Canadian soccer player Quinn, who made history by not only becoming the first openly trans athlete to compete at the Olympics but also by winning a gold medal. Recently, Quinn also became the first-ever transgender and non-binary player to compete in a FIFA WORLD CUP.
But these stories mostly go hand in hand with support and criticism, because the sports world is confused.While critics argue that transgender women competing against cisgender women is unfair, supporters applaud the non-discrimination towards transgender athletes in these instances.
