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

Shapiro has specifically advocated for policies that require athletes to compete based on their biological sex as listed on their birth certificate. He has supported legislation and school policies that enforce this standard, making this answer closely aligned with his public statements and writings.

Agree

No, create a separate category for transgender athletes to compete against each other

Shapiro has occasionally mentioned the idea of a separate category for transgender athletes as a possible solution, but he generally frames it as less ideal than simply enforcing biological sex categories. He might see this as a less objectionable alternative to allowing transgender athletes to compete in categories that differ from their birth sex, but it is not his primary position.

Strongly disagree

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

While some moderates support hormone-based criteria, Shapiro has rejected this compromise, arguing that hormone levels do not fully account for the physical advantages conferred by male puberty. He has cited scientific literature and athletic performance data to argue that even with hormone therapy, transgender women retain advantages over cisgender women.
