For a long time, the transgender community has battled to be included in sports.

Discriminatory utterances from colleagues and even sporting organizations have not made

their plight simpler. In 2016, Caster Semenya, a South African middle-distance runner and

the years’ Olympic gold medalist, was subjected to all manner of discrimination. The move is

seen to be going against international human rights and the United States of America (US)

Civil rights Act of 1964. Transgender discrimination in sports has affected how the sporting

community interacts. For optimum operation of the sport, there should be laid down rules that

guide the all-inclusive sporting activity. Inclusivity will make sports enjoyable and without

bias and prejudice.

Potential Solutions

sports by transgender. The solutions are mainly geared towards helping women that identify

as trans-genders in sports. Firstly, the organizers of every sporting activity should have an all-

inclusive even. In this context, an all-inclusive event means that apart from having the

women and the men activities, the organizers should have a transgender segment where

people who identify as such are also given a chance to showcase their talent. In so doing, the

sport and organizers will have solved the problem of having trans-genders in their event.

Secondly, there should be a comprehensive biological measure to classify athletes (Harper et

al., 2018). While some trans-genders may identify with a biological gender that they were not

born with, they may possess hormones that are predominantly from the opposite gender.
