Neil deGrasse Tyson and Piers Morgan Debate Trans Athletes and Sports Categorization

The astrophysicist proposed hormone-based classifications for athletes, sparking disagreement with the television host over fairness and practicality.

Neil deGrasse Tyson suggested categorizing athletes by hormone levels instead of gender during an appearance on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored.'
Piers Morgan rejected Tyson's idea, calling it 'ridiculous' and questioning its feasibility and fairness in competitive sports.
Tyson argued that sports are evolving to address the inclusion of transgender athletes and proposed hormone-based classifications as a potential solution.
The debate highlighted broader concerns about fairness in sports, with Tyson acknowledging that male athletes are generally faster and stronger on average than female athletes.
Both eventually agreed on the possibility of creating separate categories for transgender athletes or having trans women compete against biological men as a potential resolution.
