Harriette Mackenzie , a Vancouver Island University basketball player and trans woman, spoke out about mistreatment at the hands of her opponents at a game last weekend .
Columbia Bible College women’s basketball coach Taylor Claggett said she was worried about the safety of her players when she raised concerns after a game.
Thousands of people took to social media to support Mackenzie 's bravery, recognizing that in order to defend herself and justify her position on her team, she had to share personal, intimate details about her life with the public.
A scientific review commissioned by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport in 2021 found that biological data on the subject was limited and often methodologically flawed.
But the debate persists and has been taken up by politicians, particularly when trans women are successful in sports.
The review found “trans women who have undergone testosterone suppression have no clear biological advantages over cis women in elite sport”.
