Sports and Transgender Controversies

Harper, Joanna. "Do Transgender athletes have an edge? I sure don't." July 13, 2015.
Washington Post April 1, 2015.

My second assignment was to pick a controversial issue of 2015, find an article, and post the link for you all to read. I chose Transgender women in sports because I have quite a few friends of the LGBTQQIP2SAA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning, Intersex, Pansexual, Two Spirited, Asexual, and Allies) community. This is a big part of my life.

This article from the Washington Post is about a Transsexual woman expressing her concern for a bias opinion on women transgender athletes. She states that she feels that her competitors don't understand that she doesn't have advantages because she used to be a woman. I think this is a big issue recently due to the gay rights movement winning in the supreme court. I think many people can argue both sides of this powerful and thought-provoking issue which is why I chose it.
