Questions about transgender individuals’ place in sport persist. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to focus on transgender inclusion in sport. Drawing from varied perspectives, the authors present five reasons for inclusion, basing their arguments on sport as a human right, fairness, gendered notions of athleticism, well-being, and economics. The authors then present a multilevel model for including transgender athletes, coaches, and administrators in sport, identifying factors at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels of analysis.
9/10. Recent, easy to read, well planned out

7.5/10. I dont fully trust this one, but I think it does a really good job at breaking down how previous methods used for deciding whether or not certain people can or cannot participate in sports were wrong.

Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) practitioners have, in recent years, taken a leading role in two immensely important areas of research and practice: safeguarding athletes1 and athlete mental health.2 We, as a field, recognise that these intertwined, pressing and growing concerns are becoming more visible thanks to the power of athlete voice. Driven by affected stakeholders (athletes) who have experienced harm, and resultant increased legal and social pressure, in March 2020 the IOC recognised harassment and abuse as a current human rights challenge.3 In doing so, the IOC drew on the 2016 IOC Consensus Statement on Harassment and Abuse1 and testimonies of affected athletes to recognise that LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and other gender expansive people) athletes are at ‘particular risk of harm and structural discrimination’ in unique ways (eg, governance structures and policies that allow abuse to occur).3 As a result, the IOC took stock of how International Federations approached and applied eligibility regulations for women’s sport, particularly in light of scrutiny by United Nations (UN) bodies around the ‘severe harms’ that transgender women and women with sex variations were subjected to, including coerced surgeries3 4 (eg, medically unnecessary interventions performed to modify or remove atypical or ambiguous genitalia or internal sex organs or gender affirmative surgery done solely for the purposes of sports participation).

7/10. This article is based off of three other articles, which I trust, but I think it is very bold of them to conclude an answer based off of only those papers.
