The wellbeing of LGBTQ+ children has once again become a political football in Australia. The latest chapter involves claims by Liberal candidates in NSW and Tasmania that transgender girls and women are a safety risk to others in sport.

This debate has left an impression that this topic is a serious concern to women and girls in sport. This is not supported by research conducted in Australia, England and Canada.

This research has found most women who play sport are not concerned about the inclusion of transgender women and girls. Indeed, only a minority of women believed trans women have an “unfair advantage”.

However, the views of most women who play sport stand in sharp contrast to the views of most men.

Despite not being directly affected, men, such as the prime minister, seem to have strong opinions about the participation of trans athletes in women’s sport. The reason for this remains unclear, given men do not express strong opinions about other issues which impact women’s sport.
