"And justice for everyone." How to do with transgender athletes

Transgender athletes are now at the peak of forms: they rise to the catwalks and fall into the headlines. The 41-year-old weightlifter from New Zealand Lorel Hubbard won two gold medals at the Pacific Games. And Sisi Telfer (previously Craig Telfer) won the title of champion in 400 meters with barriers among women at the NCAA II championship in athletics. She “became famous” after Donald Trump Jr. called her “man”, and her victory was “serious injustice” in relation to “young women”. The athlete herself does not believe that the transgenderness gives her any advantages.

This is only a few of the most famous and causing many disputes of examples, even except for the scandal with the Olympic medalist Caster Semeni. Let us clarify, however, that she is not a transgender, the runner was diagnosed with hyperandrogenia-the increased content of testosterone in the female body-which is why she was recently forbidden to take part in the World Athletics Championship in Doha.

Transgender athletes are becoming more “visible” and cause criticism and even indignation among those who consider them unfair to participate in competitions on equal terms with heteronormative athletes. Among the indignant are ordinary people, and politicians (for example, Prime Minister of Samoa), and even public organizations, reports Wired.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
