Biological Male Transgender Golfer Slams ‘Male-Bodied’ Athletes in Women’s Sports

A Danish transgender golfer, who is a biological male, said this week that allowing “male-bodied” individuals to compete in female sports is a “slap in the face to women.”

Golfer Mianne Bagger, who is 55, was the first transgender athlete in a professional gold tournament in the Women’s Australian Open. This week, on Australia’s “Insight” television show, Bagger said they now support a bill that will ban transgender athletes from female sporting events, according to the New York Post.

“If someone has gone through male puberty and competed in elite pro-level sport or Olympic level sport as a male, I think if they transition that should preclude them from competitive women’s sport,” Bagger said in the TV program.

Bagger told News.com.au that current laws allow “male-bodied people presenting as women, who live as women, with varying degrees of medical intervention and in some degrees, no medical intervention,” to compete in women’s sports.

“It’s crossed the line, in my view, it really has,” Bagger added. “It’s a slap in the face to women.” (Read more from “Biological Male Transgender Golfer Slams ‘Male-Bodied’ Athletes in Women’s Sports” HERE)
