Sabalenka: Transgender Athletes Give Women Unfair Advantage in Sport

  • World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka stated it's unfair for women to compete against transgender athletes, citing a "huge advantage" for "biological men."
  • The WTA Tour's policy permits transgender women to participate under specific conditions, including lowered testosterone and a minimum of four years identifying as female.
  • The debate involves differing views from tennis figures like Martina Navratilova (critic) and Billie Jean King (sees exclusion as discrimination).
  • Some sports federations have banned transgender women from female categories, while advocacy groups consider such exclusion discriminatory.

Why It Matters: It raises critical questions about fairness and inclusion in women's professional sports.
