My topic is exploring the boundaries of transgender athletes in cisgender sports. My hypothesis is that hormone levels is best method for determining which gender category an athlete belongs in. Therefore, hormone therapy for a year is a good method (the current olympic standard) to allow transgenders to compete in the correct category.
I drafted an infographic shown above which summarizes my preliminary research. I created a timeline highlighting the major changes made to the subject throughout history in sports. In addition, I researched the hormones and types of therapy these athletes undergo to change their gender in the eyes of the olympic committee. The only problem with hormone therapy however, is that not all countries have access to it.
