“…Such viewpoints have been widely adopted, leading to some statistical bodies advising that data on sex should not be collected. [14][15][16][17][18] Yet the question of the respective importance of sex and gender identity on relevant outcomes and the interaction between the two is an empirical one that cannot be answered without data on both gender identity and sex. The existing literature is limited and, in both sports and criminology, typically relates to the effects of medical transition rather than identity per se.…”

ObjectivesTo test the hypothesis that, controlling for age, natal-sex differences in running performance are lower among non-binary athletes than in the rest of the population. To test the hypothesis that natal-male non-binary athletes outperform natal-female non-binary athletes.MethodsA secondary analysis of 166 race times achieved by non-binary athletes within a data set of 85 173 race times derived from races with a non-binary category in the New York Road Runners database. The natal sex of non-binary athletes was modelled probabilistically using US Social Security Administration data when it could not be derived from previous races. Race times were used as the outcome variable in linear models with explanatory variables derived from natal sex, gender identity, age and the event being raced. Statistical significance was estimated using Monte Carlo methods as the model was not Gaussian.ResultsThere was no evidence that controlling for age, natal-sex differences in running performance are lower among non-binary athletes. Natal-male non-binary athletes outperform natal-female non-binary athletes at a confidence level of p=0.1%.ConclusionsBoth natal sex and gender identity may be useful explanatory variables for the performance of athletes in mass-participation races. It is, therefore, valuable to include both variables in data collection.

“…Source: AuthorsBest-practice data collection on sex and gender has recently become a topic of debate and deliberation(Thornton et al 2022;Sullivan 2023). Internationally, the UK and US have included questions pertaining to gender in their censuses since 2021 (Office of National Statistics 2023; United States Census Bureau 2021).…”
