Trans athletes, both male and female are stuck in a limbo between the two sexes in terms of where they 'fairly' belong physiologically.
If it were more common, we'd create their own league. But because there doesn't seem to be a big enough population yet, we're left trying to choose between a number of solutions, none of which give a result that's optimal.
Yes but Tiffany was a regular male before changing into a female (or attempting to with hormones and operations). I might be wrong, but that's how I understood the article and what was posted about Tiffany.
Right, but if we consider the hormone treatments as necessary, they put her at a disadvantage against other males, who are keeping their testosterone levels. The answer might just have to be that trans people have to chose between sports and their transition, and play in non-professional settings until someone can come up with a better answer.
