CrossFit Games to Allow Trans Athletes to Compete

Trans athletes are now allowed to compete in the CrossFit Games.

Previously trans athletes could compete, but had to register under the gender they were assigned at birth. CrossFit chair and founder Greg Glassman said the decision to amend the policy to allow trans people to compete as the gender they identify with was “the right thing to do.”

“CrossFit believes in the potential, capacity, and dignity of every athlete,” he said to Them. “We are proud of our LGBT community, including our transgender athletes, and we want you here with us.”
