Report: Researchers Want Binary Sports Abandoned For ‘More Nuanced Approach’

Hank Berrien

Researchers from New Zealand’s University of Otago think dividing sports competitions into men’s and women’s isn’t sufficient to deal with transgender individuals, and thus want a “more nuanced approach.” As The College Fix reports, the study is titled, “Transwomen in elite sport: scientific and ethical considerations.”

BioEdge noted that the study stated, ” … it is important to both extend and celebrate diversity, while maintaining fairness for cis-women in sport. To be simultaneously inclusive and fair at the elite level the male/ female binary must be discarded in favour of a more nuanced approach. We conclude that the gender binary in sport has perhaps had its day.”
