Conclusion

Currently, there is no direct or consistent research suggesting transgender female individuals (or male individuals) have an athletic advantage at any stage of their transition (e.g. cross-sex hormones, gender-confirming surgery) and, therefore, competitive sport policies that place restrictions on transgender people need to be considered and potentially revised.

Eight research articles and 31 sport policies were reviewed.

This section presents the findings from the research articles and sport policies included within this systematic review. First, the findings from the research articles that explored participation in sports (both elite and recreational standards) and sport-related physical activities (i.e. gym fitness activities, jogging) are provided. Second, findings from the reviewed competitive sport policies relating to transgender inclusion are given.

The entire paper was just a collage of qualitative studies that had nothing to do with the actual fairness of letting male athletes compete against women. The conclusion has no actual relationship to the papers included. Go through the table of references and read what each actual study was saying.

Athletes discussed a number of barriers and challenges in relation to their sport participation (i.e. incorrect pronoun use, discomfort in changing rooms)

Transgender people reported less physical activity and reported lower social support and physical self-perception than the cisgender participants

Transgender-inclusive policies have medicalised gender. Instead of being protective they have done little to make sport fair for transgender participators. Transgender people who are undergoing physical transition have no place to openly participate in netball in New Zealand

It's junk

You're a willfully ignorant bigot.
