A week later, a Scottish judge ordered that schools must provide single sex toilets after a…

New research suggests trans athletes could experience physical disadvantages

A new study has suggested that trans athletes may actually be at a physical disadvantage compared to cisgender athletes. Over the last few years, trans athletes have been targeted by conservative figures who use their platforms to spread misinformation and hateful rhetoric. In addition to dealing with the constant political attacks from bigoted individuals, various sporting bodies have enacted guidelines that either limit the participation of trans athletes or bar them from competing altogether.
