[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our league, the child can swim in their chosen (for lack of a better word) gender's events, but will be scored in their biological gender's events.  So your trans daughter could swim with the girls but will appear on the meet results as a boy.

Which league?

Does that work both ways?  Could my[b] trans son[/b] win events they didn't swim in?  That seems really awkward.

I don't think trans men have an advantage over biological men.[/quote]

The dont. They do, however, have a huge advantage over biological girls. [/quote]

Trans women have a biological advantage.  It is not huge but it is significant.  Trans men who are not on hormones do not have an advantage, over biological women.  [/quote]

Compare male and female times. It's huge. A mediocre male swimmer is a phenomenal female swimmer [/quote]
Yes, we have actually seen this play out. A middling male swimmer transitioned to being female and became a national champion competing against women. [/quote]
