The California school authorities were creative. At the athletics high school championships at the weekend in Clovis, they not only let the successful ones from Hernandez (16) in two competitions climb to the top podium, but also hung a gold medal around their neck. Previously, US President Donald Trump threatened to cut funding in the event that Hernandez, who went through a transition, would start and take a place in the final. The organizers also remembered something. Either way, the discussion about the participation of transgender athletes in women’s competitions has flared up. One side emphasizes the right to inclusion, the other side sees fairness at risk because male puberty brings physical advantages.
