Change the PDGA Policy on Eligibility for Gender-Restricted Divisions

This rule is DISCOURAGING to all future women wanting to compete in disc golf. I had to play in a tournament a few years back with a transgender and no female stood a chance of even competing with the transgender due to the bone structure and strength of the natural born male. Transgender participants need their own division so they can compete against one another. This rule discourages natural born women to compete competivily as you take all the competition out once a transgender registers. Strength from male to female isn't the same! Call me if you have a problem or questions 850-797-8489!

I’m so happy to have a wife who loves to play DG and other sports with me. She enrolls us in fantastic tournaments and we usually have a blast! Both of our moms were advocates of women’s sports in the 60’s and 70’s because they recognized their importance to women and girls. If Title 9 hadn’t been approved, most young female athletes would have quit at a young age. Sadly, some very confused men have found a way to undo the work our mothers fought for and for. These men have created a back-door into the Female divisions of many sports. Male/female is perhaps the most fundamental understanding; even human infants understand the difference.

Changing yourself to one gender or another does not change your tendons and bone structure. Male Physique with a female title does not make you competitively equal to a born female body structure.

I don’t agree with someone who was born a male and now wants to live his life as a girl, and now he wants to play against the girls! I am against it and if there is one in my division I am not playing!

Change it

I'm not against transgender rights, but have witnessed a guy playing in the women's pro division. The competition is not fair.

Disc golf has mens division and women's division. Transgender has no place

It's hard enough to get women involved with the sport and limiting their chances of enjoying the sport playing in a division with those with a physical advantage.

C'mon PDGA, stop pandering to the PC/woke crowd!

yes, we need a better solution!

Please fix this pdga men do not belong in the women division

As a father of three girls this should have never come to be an issue.

I think there is currently ONLY ONE Transgender woman on tour.

Protection of biological females rights is the number one goal here

You are what GOD made you from birth!!

Come on common sense Fix this crazy stuff

Gender is a fact. Men belong in belong in mens divisions

Ridiculous that we as humans would even have to debate this! Unacceptable you are what you are...not what you feel like you want to be.
