Strongly agree

Yes

Barack Obama has shown support for transgender rights throughout his presidency. For instance, his administration issued guidance to public schools in 2016, advising them to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. However, he has not specifically addressed the issue of transgender athletes competing in sports, hence the score is not a full 5.

No, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate
