Abstract

This letter, written by the Board of Pride Ortho, responds to a previous letter discussing gender, race, and fairness in sports. The response challenges the evidence cited in the previous letter, particularly the use of biased sources and the misinterpretation of scientific studies. It emphasizes that transgender women have different physiological characteristics than cisgender males, even after undergoing gender-affirming treatment. The response also addresses social concerns, such as the proposal to segregate transgender women into a separate category in sports, and highlights the importance of using valid and unbiased sources in this ongoing discourse. The letter concludes by expressing support for transgender inclusion and success in all aspects of society. [Extracted from the article]
