Shocking new study reveals how many medals female athletes have lost out on to trans opponents

The United Nations is facing renewed calls to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports after a study found nearly 900 medals have been lost to biological males.

A UN report on ‘violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences’ shows that as of March 30, 2024, ‘more than 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports’

“The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-gender category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against men,” wrote Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem.

Following the report, which was published in August, campaigners have again urged authorities to do more to protect female athletes.

During a panel last week, Kristen Wagoner of “Alliance Defending Freedom” emphasized that “high school and college girls should not be expected to stand up for their own rights.”

Instead, Wagoner argued, “our institutions, our government officials, and our parents should stand up for them.”

‘The reality is that an average male athlete can often beat a top female athlete on the field. This is why so many sports are segregated by gender,” she said.

“Creating women’s athletic spaces has never been about division, it’s about recognizing objective, biological differences and empowering women and girls – in light of those differences – to reward real merit.

“Science shows that men have an insurmountable advantage over women, and no amount of testosterone suppressors can take away that advantage.”

There has been increasing controversy and debate over the future of women’s sports in recent years, especially since swimmer Lia Thomas became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division 1 title in 2022.

The University of Nevada Reno women’s volleyball team declined to compete against a rival team with a transgender player

Earlier this month, the University of Nevada The Reno women’s volleyball team refused to compete against a rival team with a transgender player.

The UNR women’s volleyball team came into conflict with its own university when it opposed the school’s desire to compete against San Jose State University and transgender player Blaire Fleming.

Nevada became the fifth team to elect to forfeit a game against SJSU, with Fleming citing safety concerns as the reason.

The Biden administration has sought to expand protections for LGBTQ+ students, prompting Republicans to claim the new Title IX rule is a ploy to allow transgender student-athletes to play on girls’ athletic teams . The White House emphasized that the new Title IX rule does not apply to athletics.

Alsalem claimed that “the failure to protect the female category is one of the most egregious forms of violence against women and girls,” while Wagoner argued that “allowing biological males into women’s sports not only erases the level playing field, but women puts you in physical danger’.

“Obvious physical differences require categories to be separated by gender in sport – that is fundamental fairness,” she continued.

‘The risk extends beyond the playing field: women and girls have the right to privacy and safety and these are violated every time a member of the opposite sex enters women’s intimate spaces.

‘The violation of these spaces makes women and girls extremely vulnerable and may rightly make them question whether they want to participate in athletics at all. When laws and policies lose touch with biological reality, women and girls suffer the most.”
