Transgender Weightlifters: A Complete Guide | Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum

The inclusion of transgender athletes in sport is a difficult topic to understand and prescribe rules for, not least in a sport like weightlifting where the difference in ability between men and women is the greatest of all Olympic sports at around 40%, compared with the 10-12% average across all other sports.
CEO of Barbell Medicine, Jordan Feigenbaum, is the person we believe to be the most qualified to talk on this matter. We spoke about the current studies that we have access to, or perhaps more accurately, the dearth of information on this topic. Jordan’s article ‘Shades of Gray: Sex, Gender, and Fairness in Sport’ has been read well over one hundred thousand times, and cites 97 studies as references.
If ever there was a way to understand what can currently be known, and to attempt to create one's own thoughts on this contentious subject, this podcast is the way.
