The question of whether transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in accordance with their gender identity is an evolving debate. Most competitive sports have male and female categories. One of the primary challenges with this categorization system, however, is that some transgender athletes (and especially transgender women) may be prevented from competing in accordance with their gender identity. Act as if you were a high school athletic director. What issues are most important factors to consider when working with transgender athletes? Should athletes be forced to compete against the gender in which is assigned on their birth certificates? How would you approach the situation of a transgender athlete wanting to complete? What are issues you might face based on your decision? How is the community and school involved?
