Role of EU policies in shaping the European Sport Model (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. I would like to raise taboos in this debate. Biological athletes have to compete with people who have undergone a gender change, although the physiological advantage in strength and body structure is obvious. It destroys the meaning of the female category. It kills women's sports. So how can we talk about equal opportunities and fair competition when, according to a UN report from 2024, more than 600 female athletes have lost 890 medals in 29 different sports due to competition with transmen only in recent years? I missed this point in the report. I therefore want to make it clear that I support the call of the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, who calls on states to stop allowing men who identify as women to compete with women and girls. Sport is a competition that must be based on equal and equal principles. Let LGBT ideology not destroy women's sport.
