Swiss man changes gender to retire and receive his pension a year earlier

This article specifically mentions Olympic level athletes and military personal, and only in a small amount making it be a better pilot study than anything else.

Well for high school sport it really doesn’t matter too much. As the vast majority of trans athletes aren’t going to be those “elite level” ones the article mentions. This also needs to be combined with mental tolls of being forced to compete with the wrong gender or not being to compete at all just for being yourself. Trans women will drop spots in male sports if they have to compete there. Trans men will start to top female sports if forced to play there.

Point is for most trans folk a 1 year restriction on playing sports with the correct gender is enough. 2 years or more should be used in specific situations where it’ll make sense to apply, like Olympic level athletes.
