Trans athletes have been allowed to compete in international track and field for decades. The current regulations include proving that their testosterone levels were below a certain level for at least 12 months before competing, and stay below that level while competing.
The NCAA is similar except there is no specific level that has to be hit, they are just required to go through a year of hormone therapy.
Nothing that Biden signed will change anything at the college level or beyond.
Trans athletes have been allowed in sports for decades. It has not destroyed women's sports. There is not an army of "men" waiting to take over women's sports. That's not how any of this works.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andraya_Yearwood"Andraya Yearwood (born in 2002) is an American transgender student athlete from Connecticut. Yearwood began competing on a high school girls' team in early April 2017 and won first place in the girls 100- and 200-meter dashes.[1] Yearwood's second-place finish at the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) 100-yard dash finals on June 4, 2017, behind another transgender student, gained international media attention.[2]
Yearwood has received recruitment interest from Harvard University, the University of Connecticut, Springfield College, and West Point to run track and field in the NCAA.[6]"
Then hows does this work?
And, more importantly, what would you say to the {real} female who misses her chance for a scholarship to one of the above mentioned schools? Harvard, West Point?
