About this site

Gendersport.nl is about fair competition in women’s sports. What does including trans-identifying males in women’s categories mean for equal opportunity, safety, and the very existence of a women’s category? This site brings together the facts, the rules, and the debate — soberly and with full sourcing.

What you’ll find on gendersport.nl
