This tally was started in March 2023 in response to the argument, “But there aren’t very many, so what’s the harm?” Actually, there are many male athletes competing in women’s sports. The Washington Stand found that 28 national girls or women’s sports titles were won by trans-identified men between 2003 and 2022, with “the trend accelerating over the past three years.” Each male victory has a multiplier effect, displacing many girls or women from opportunities designed for them.
Why should any female athlete relinquish her sports dream to make room for a male? Regardless of gender identity, males have performance advantages over females. And female athletes are still being treated less favorably than male athletes at every turn. We must not diminish females’ opportunities, placings, finals, podiums, prizes, or financial rewards, nor their right to fair, safe, sex-separated sports experiences.
After tracking these incursions into girls’ and women’s sports spaces for nine months, we abandoned this project — but not our commitment to girls and women — because there are simply too many male victories.
Fortunately, SheWon started a similar tally — while also inviting user data about the girls and women who should have won. For updated data, or to add your own, please see SheWon.org.
