The wins occurred in over 400 competitions across 29 sports, study authors said.
The U.N. says transgender athletes competing in women's athletic events have won nearly 900 medals over their competitors, according to the results of a study obtained by The National News Desk .
Authors of the U.N. study said the creation of “mixed sex” competitions has disadvantaged biologically female athletes who take on transgender opponents. Biologically female athletes, the study reads, are often tested by their sport’s governing bodies to ensure they are not using performance-enhancing drugs, such as testosterone. Biologically male athletes, however, are only subject to “arbitrary and asymmetrical” testosterone requirements, which the study says creates an imbalanced playing field compared to biologically female competitors.
The findings were among a number of examples of threats the study authors say biologically female athletes are facing, including violence and exclusion from their sports. In the study’s conclusions, authors noted a need for competitions that are “exclusively accessible to persons whose biological sex is female.”
