It recommends that they compete in a separate category.

A long-awaited, comprehensive report, released last week, concluded that male-to-female transgender athletes do, in fact, have a competitive advantage against biologically female athletes and that it is impossible to guarantee both safety and fairness if male-to-female transgender athletes are allowed to compete in women’s events.

The report, released by the United Kingdom’s Sports Councils Equality Group, which includes representatives from sporting organizations across the U.K., took 18 months to compile information through hundreds of interviews with dozens of people and organizations. The group found that “Transgender athletes have an unfair advantage in female sports” and that that advantage remains even when “testosterone levels have been reduced,” according to the Daily Mail.

U.K. Sport suggested that there should be a “universal” category where biological men and women compete voluntarily on a single playing field without gender designations.
