My name is Melissa Condon, and I will be writing about transgender individuals and sports. In recent years, the topic of transgender people in athletic competitions has gained significantly more attention as the LGBT rights movement has moved forward in the fight for providing people of all genders and sexual orientations with equal rights.
The issue of individuals who are transgender participating in athletic events has gained attention because many people feel that the birth sex of an individual would provide the person with physiological advantages in certain areas of athletic competitions, causing the event to be unfair.
I will be investigating and writing about the different sports policies that are being considered and implemented regarding the inclusion of transgender athletes.
