I've been left wondering about the state of the world after hearing about a team forfeiting their match due to a controversy surrounding a transgender player.
A game that demands professionalism has been tainted by personal sentiments, leading to a decision of forfeit.
“Boise State women volleyball team forfeited their match against San Jose State University, on September 8th because of transgender team player Blaire Fleming. The Broncos will now compete today, Oct. 3 against Air Force.”

In my opinion, creating a separate team for transgender individuals would promote inclusivity while respecting the biological differences between men and women.
Why include transgenders into women's teams, which can disturb the dynamics and fairness of the game?
If the goal is inclusivity, then I think having transgender teams compete against each other would foster equality and fairness in sports.
The world seems to be heading in a direction where sentiments override reason and fairness. I'm curious to hear your thoughts
The experience of the undefeated Boise State women's volleyball team is a serious problem facing sports today, with many thinking hard to try for fairness of competition. Especially in biodiversity.
Creating separate teams for transgender people can guarantee equality, besides the co-workers balance concerns. It helps to maintain fair competition while being respectful toward all the athletes involved.
As sports teams, they should have open discussion that considers the views of all concerned. It would be very hard to find ways on how to implement just and inclusive policies, but this is very essential in this regard because all athletes should be valued and respected.
