Strengthen Qualifications for U.S. Golf Tour "Only 女 Participates in Birth"
As a male-to-female golfer won the mini-tournament of U.S. women's golf competition, the NXXT Women's Professional Golf Tour has tightened eligibility requirements to allow only biological women to participate. This is to ensure fair competition.
The controversy began when Hayley Davidson from Scotland in the U.K. lifted the trophy at the mini-tour NXXT Classic in Florida in January. Born a man, Davidson played for the men's golf teams at Wilmington University and Christopher Newport University. He also participated in regional preliminaries for the 2015 U.S. Open men's tournament. The same year, he recognized his gender identity as a woman and began hormone therapy, and in January 2021, he underwent a sex reassignment surgery.
Since winning the women's golf mini-tour in January, she has shown her willingness to participate in the LPGA, saying, "This victory is a pleasure, but there is still too much work to do before advancing to the LPGA Tour." 토토사이트
Top-ranked players in the NXXT Golf Tour can advance to the Epson Tour, the lower league of the LPGA Tour. The LPGA Tour allows players who have undergone gender change surgery after puberty to participate. The reason for this is that the LPGA Tour removed the requirement to be born a woman in 2010. However, so far, no female golfers have participated in the tour.
Recently, the sports world is debating whether a male-to-female athlete should be allowed to compete in women's sports. There are conflicting arguments that transgender people also have the right to compete in sports, and that they should be restricted because their natural body is different. Swimmer Leah Thomas (25) of the U.S. ranked 462nd when she was a male athlete, but ranked first after the gender change.
In February, at a college volleyball game in Toronto, Canada, five transgender athletes with long hair and weak skeletons took to the court at the same time. Both teams had transgender athletes, who led the game. The result was a 3-2 victory for a school with one more transgender person.
As similar problems have arisen in many sports events, the International Federation has banned transgender athletes from participating. Currently, the World Association of Athletics Federations prohibits transgender athletes from participating in the women's world ranking competition.
