“It can be, if one trans athlete joins a sport, that would expand it to more trans athletes participating. I think it could be a potential good change.”

“I would have to know the research and the science behind the athletic ability. I don’t know if men and women are at a different level.”

“My first reaction is no. I don’t think it’s fair because of the way the body’s made. Men may have advantages in certain situations.”
