I am a competitive rower and I am concerned about possible future changes that would remove the level playing field for women in sport

This matters to me because I am a competitive rower and I am concerned about possible future changes that would remove the level playing field for women in sport. I have seen the physiological advantages of males over females in my sport and want to make sure women retain the right to compete against women.

I have begun speaking to friends about the issues surrounding transgender rights and activism, and the implications for women’s sport and women’s spaces in society.

However due to my field of work (academia) I am too scared of the professional implications to speak out more publicly.
