However, critics, like\u2064 Kelly and Morgan,\u200c believe that allowing biological men to \u2062compete\u200c in women&#8217;s sports negates the idea of\u200c fair competition.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-espn-anchor-warns-there-will-be-blood-on-our-hands-for-silence-on-trans-athlete-matter\/\" title=\"ESPN anchor warns of dire consequences for remaining silent on trans athlete issue.\">transgender\u2062 athletes competing<\/a> in\u200c women&#8217;s \u2063sports argue that hormone therapy and other medical interventions\u200c may mitigate any physical advantages that biological men may have.
