ABSTRACT Issues surrounding the inclusion of transgender and intersex athletes in the women’s category in sport have spurred vigorous, and sometimes vicious, debate. The loudest voices on one edge of the debate warn that allowing transgender and intersex athletes to participate in women’s sport will push women out of sport entirely as it is equivalent to having men compete against women, while the other edge dismisses as a transphobic/racist/bigot anyone advocating for less than full and unconditional inclusion. Between the edges are more nuanced positions, offering arguments to support conclusions regarding competition, fairness, equality, and inclusion. This paper is an attempt to discover and elucidate the foundational commitments underlying the most common arguments, evaluate the arguments, and consider implications of the commitments.

变性和双性恋运动员与体育中的女性类别

摘要有关将变性和双性恋运动员纳入妇女类别的问题引起了激烈的辩论，有时甚至是恶毒的辩论。辩论的一个最响亮的声音警告说，允许变性者和双性恋运动员参加妇女体育运动将使妇女完全退出体育运动，因为这等同于让男人与妇女竞争，而另一方则以变性/种族主义/主张任何主张不完全和无条件包容的人。边缘之间是更细微的立场，提供了论据来支持有关竞争，公平，平等和包容的结论。本文试图发现和阐明最常见论点的基础承诺，评估这些论点，并考虑这些承诺的含义。
