At Translucent, we recognise the importance of fair and inclusive sporting environments for the UK’s transgender and gender-diverse community in order to:

• Advocate for the inclusion of trans and non-binary people in sports.
• Challenge transphobic narratives: We address the idea of “open” categories, arguing that these are often transphobic.
• Present scientific evidence: Our articles aim to present scientific evidence supporting trans inclusion, countering claims of unfair advantages.
• Examine fairness: We analyse the concept of fairness in sport, highlighting inherent advantages and disadvantages that exist at every level.
• Address media bias: We look at how media outlets contribute to negative portrayals and misinformation surrounding trans athletes.
• Debunk myths: Our articles address misinformation and disinformation regarding transgender athletes.
• Promote policy changes: We advocate for policy changes that support trans inclusion in sports.
• Counter trans hostile talking points: We address and disprove trans hostile talking points used in discussions about trans people in sport.
• Highlight the lack of trans voices: Our articles emphasise that trans voices are often unheard and excluded from the decision-making process in sports policy.
• Promote solidarity: Our articles emphasise the importance of solidarity and collective action across different communities to support trans rights and combat discrimination in sport.
