A Sport Divided
Over the last 3 years the sport of disc golf has seen the emergence of Trans Athletes. This has led to a growing divide within the sport seated between the political and biological. Where do you stand on this issue?

I find this interesting, I do think that respect for the transgender experience is important to acknowledge, just in the same way that I think it’s important to consider the biological changes between men and women. Perhaps the solution is a third category in honor of transgender people who wish to compete with others who have gone through similar biological changes? I can understand if there may be a lot of changes, red-tape, and work to be done to make this third division within this sport as well as other sports. Thoughts anyone?

Recently the PDGA sent out a survey exploring the impact of transgender players within the sport. Attached you will see many of the questions presented in this survey. Do you think the survey asked the right questions?
