Why do I have to compete against a male body? complains mountain bike racer Leia Schneeberger in my new video.
She and others are upset because today, some transgender women, people born male but who identify as female, are winning sports competitions.
Schneeberger regularly won bicycle races, until a former men s cyclist transitioned, competed as a woman, and rode away from her. How did this happen? asks Schneeberger. I just want to be able to compete on a fair playing field.
But no playing field is perfectly fair, says trans athlete Joanna Harper.
Harper is also a scientist who advised the Olympic committee. She points out that transgender competitors often take testosterone blockers that help align their body with how they identify. As a result, Trans women lose muscle, lose strength, lose endurance.
3:32 Commentary: I ve spent the last few summers hanging out at the side of the pool, watching an infinitely patient swim instructor teach my kids the basics of working with water. I learned to swim at my daughter s age, but she s much better than I was because I started her at about 4 years old. After I learned the basics, I stopped, and I never really did anything sporty again.
As both she and her brother started school back up a few weeks ago yes, our school does start early I thought about what I could do with my time beyond cramming it with more work. I decided I needed to work on myself.
