Foreword

As of this writing, many people (and governments) are hostile towards the trans community. Fuelling much of this hate is an ocean of disinformation, largely relying on a few key lies or misrepresentations.

We believe the best way to combat this disinformation is through education. This article contains all our research on relevant disinformation to date.

A common talking point pushed by those who seek to limit trans folks' rights is the idea that transitioning is a new concept. Often, they combine this rhetoric with claims of a "social contagion", and conspiracy theories about Big Pharma.

The discussion regarding whether we should include trans folks in our sports (and how to categorise them) is long-running and divisive.

Before we can get into the discussion proper, though, we'll need to talk about the history of sex-based segregation in sports.
