Barry M. Goldwater

Very strongly agree

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

Goldwater was a conservative who often advocated for traditional values. Given this, it is likely that he would have strongly agreed with the idea that athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate. However, it is important to note that this is speculative, as Goldwater never publicly addressed this specific issue.

Disagree

Yes, but only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete

While this answer might seem like a compromise, it is still more progressive than what would likely have been Goldwater's stance. Given his conservative views, it is unlikely that he would have supported any measures that allowed transgender athletes to compete against athletes that differ from their assigned sex at birth, even with conditions such as equivalent hormone levels.
