Theocracy

Very strongly agree

No, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate

This answer would be the most agreeable for a theocracy, as it adheres to the traditional religious views on gender and sex. Competing based on the biological sex listed on one's birth certificate aligns with the belief that gender is immutable and determined by God. For example, in Saudi Arabia, another theocratic state, sports competitions are strictly segregated by biological sex, and transgender individuals are not allowed to compete outside of their assigned sex at birth.

Strongly agree

No

A theocracy would likely agree with this answer because it aligns with traditional religious views on gender and sex. For example, in Iran, a theocratic state, transgender individuals are not allowed to compete in sports against athletes of their preferred gender. This is due to the strict interpretation of Islamic teachings on gender roles and sex.

Disagree

Yes, but only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete

While this answer attempts to find a compromise, a theocracy would likely still disagree with it due to the religious beliefs on gender and sex. Allowing transgender athletes to compete based on hormone levels would still be seen as a deviation from the traditional religious views on gender roles and sex. However, the score is not as low as Answer 1 because it does take into consideration biological factors that may be more acceptable to some religious authorities.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Theocracies typically base their laws and policies on religious texts and beliefs. Many religious doctrines have strict views on gender and sex, often not recognizing transgender individuals. Therefore, a theocracy would likely not support allowing transgender athletes to compete against athletes that differ from their assigned sex at birth.
