The decision by World Athletics to exclude transgender women who have gone through male puberty from female events has sparked debate and controversy

The move has been applauded by some who believe it is necessary to protect the integrity of female sports and prevent unfair competition. However, others see it as discriminatory and a rejection of inclusivity and diversity.

The issue of transgender participation in sports has been a contentious topic for many years. While many recognise the right of transgender individuals to compete in the gender category they identify with, questions have arisen about what criteria determine eligibility and fairness in competition.
