“I am not honored. I am not proud of myself at all. I believe other transgender athletes would feel the same way. They may not want to admit it, but they’re being selfish. There is no honor as an athlete in that,” she said, referring to international transgender athletes who have sparked heated debate about the fairness of their competing against biological women after transitioning.

Na advocates for the creation of a “third gender” category in sports competitions, alongside male and female categories, to make sports more inclusive and fair.

    Yeah it’s a difficult thing and I don’t think there is a easy solution for that. In the end we probably need to ban transwomen from female sports competition (the still can train together but not compete). But we also need to admit that by doing so we tramping on their rights because we couldn’t figure out any better solution to it yet.

      There are 2 biological sexes. Either male or female.

      If a male decides to take a bunch of drugs to alter his body, he knows it impacts his physical performance. He is making an informed decision.

      We are not tramping on his rights. He decided to take the drugs, he lives with the consequences. It is called being an adult.
