Edit request: Independent transgender sports leagues
[edit]I think creating a section or subsection on this article called something similar to Independent transgender sports leagues underneath the History of transgender athletes in competition section would be an amazing addition to this page. There have been a ton of grassroots efforts to include trans people in sports that have been led mostly by trans/queer people.
A proposed entry I have for this new section would be about the Basketdolls in Brooklyn, NY:
Let me know what you think! I think that adding a section like this would enrich the article significantly. Theedecemberblues (talk) 18:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello Raladic! I saw that you were a contributor to this page previously, and understand that you may have retired, but I was wondering if maybe you could assist me with this request? Or, if you have any editors you'd recommend reaching out to? Thanks! Theedecemberblues (talk) 17:49, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Ref 77 still questionable
[edit]This was discussed in an archive post yet it still seems to be used heavily in this article. There are a variety of methodological flaws outlined in this article (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-023-01928-8)
Emma Hilton (one of the lead authors behind this) is also a co-founder for the anti-trans activist group "Sex matters" (https://sex-matters.org/posts/updates/welcome-to-sex-matters/) (you can also just google her, and see how heavily biased she is, I mean I could try to link it all but I think that would constitute spam)
This source was was further criticized in a report by CCES (which was for whatever reason labeled was called an "activist group" by someone despite being a renowned independent research organization) (https://cces.ca/transgender-women-athletes-and-elite-sport-scientific-review)
In short citing her as an authoritative source without at least mentioning the long list of controversy surrounding it (and her) seems to be a major breach of NPOV FloodedYeti (talk) 16:11, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
