Write a letter to the Olympic Committee discussing whether trans athletes should take part in the Olympics (and how).

Solución: Sample answer: Dear Members of the International Olympic Committee, I am writing to express my views regarding the participation of transgender athletes in the Olympic Games, a subject that demands both fairness and compassion. On the one hand, sports should promote inclusion and equality, ensuring that no individual is discriminated against on the basis of gender identity. Barring trans athletes entirely would undermine the core Olympic values. On the other hand, protecting fair competition, especially in female categories where biological differences can grant significant physical advantages, is essential. In my opinion, the Committee should establish transparent, science-based regulations. Rather than enforcing blanket bans, eligibility should be determined by monitoring hormone levels and physical parameters specific to each sport. Additionally, creating open categories could be considered to guarantee both competitiveness and inclusivity. Thank you for your consideration. Yours sincerely, [Candidate's Name]
