Does Laurel Hubbard have an unfair advantage? A scientific look at the transgender athlete debate.

Is it fair that Laurel Hubbard is able to compete against cis-gender women at the Olympics? I look at some of the science as the weightlifter prepares to make history as the first openly trans athlete to compete at the Olympics.

Of course, the transgender athletes in sport has caused a stir in some circles, and many subscribers have asked my take on it.

So, with all eyes on Tokyo, I will review some of the science and give my opinion on this very sensitive topic.

Disclaimer – I do not intend to offend anybody with this content, and I have not worked with transgender athletes before directly, therefore the subject is somewhat new for myself also!
