Aloha3435: The idea that masculinity is a threat to both women and women’s sports in general has been pervasive and enduring in the past few decades. December 28th, 2021 12:01am

Suckr4Sushi: Testosterone is not a simple hormone that represents masculinity and competitive edge like many people have been brought up to think it does. Although there is evidence that testosterone has some effect on athletic performance, there is not sufficient evidence to suggest that higher testosterone automatically equates to a higher performance level.

Swimmerxo79: I agree @Suckr4Sushi, it is well known that LGBTQI+ youth, especially transgender youth, often face greater levels of discrimination and harassment compared to their non-LGBTQI+ counterparts in and outside of school. This has become especially true for LGBTQI+ athletes, particularly transgender athletes. February 28th, 2022 10:41am

YerbaMate: Protect Trans, Non-binary, and Intersex athletes!! Why does mere participation have to be so heavily policed? These incredible people represent a relatively small percentage of the population and should be welcomed rather than ostracized in yet another environment. March 22nd, 2021 12:01am
