WOMEN DESERVE THEIR OWN CATEGORY.
HerMedal advocates maintaining sex-based female athletic categories, because biological sex can materially affect athletic performance.
- Fair competition matters.
- Female records matter.
- Female scholarships matter.
- Female opportunities matter.
- Female medals matter.
And women should never have to apologize for defending them.
WHAT'S AT STAKE
MEDALS
A podium place is finite. When it is taken, it is not returned.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Athletic aid changes lives. Female athletes compete for a limited pool.
ROSTER SPOTS
Every team has a fixed number of places on it.
CHAMPIONSHIPS
Titles decide rankings, funding, and future opportunity.
OPPORTUNITY
Fair competition is why the female category was created.
