He took a gap year after high school to transition, and was told he could join the men's or women's swim team at Harvard, according to his preference. He joined the men's team, and in 2015 Bailar became the first publicly documented NCAA D1 transgender man to compete as a man in swimming.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Merrill |first=Emma |date=2015-06-17 |title=Schuyler Bailar To Be First Openly Transgender D1 NCAA Swimmer |url=https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/schuyler-bailar-to-be-first-openly-transgender-collegiate-swimmer/ |access-date=2025-04-01 |website=Swimming World |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Schuyler Bailar, First D1 Transgender Swimmer, Joins Harvard's Men's Team {{!}} Sports {{!}} The Harvard Crimson |url=https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2015/6/28/bailar-swimming-profile/ |access-date=2025-04-01 |website=www.thecrimson.com}}</ref> More recently, [[Chris Mosier]], a duathlon and [[triathlon]] competitor on the US National team in duathlon, successfully challenged the [[International Olympic Committee]] former policy that required surgery before transgender athletes could compete in the category that matched their gender identity.<ref>{{cite web |date=January 21, 2016 |title=Trans triathlete Chris Mosier may be barred from competing at World Championships |url=http://www.outsports.com/2016/1/21/10802088/chris-mosier-trans-athlete-duathlon-world-championship |access-date=2016-08-19 |publisher=Outsports}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=June 14, 2016 |title=Olympic News - Official Source of Olympic News |url=http://www.olympic.org/content/news/media-resources/manual-news/1999-2009/2004/05/18/ioc-approves-consensus-with-regard-to-athletes-who-have-changed-sex |access-date=2016-08-19 |publisher=Olympic.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=ThinkProgress |date= |title=The Olympics Are Now Much Friendlier For Transgender Athletes β ThinkProgress |url=http://thinkprogress.org/sports/2016/01/22/3742064/trans-rights-olympics/ |access-date=2016-08-19 |publisher=Thinkprogress.org}}</ref> Mosier's challenge led to the creation and adoption in 2016 of new IOC guidelines for the categorization of transgender athletes in the Olympics in World Championships.<ref>{{cite web |date=January 22, 2016 |title=Exclusive: Read the Olympics' new transgender guidelines that will not mandate surgery |url=http://www.outsports.com/2016/1/21/10812404/transgender-ioc-policy-new-olympics |access-date=2016-08-19 |publisher=Outsports}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=The Trans Athlete Behind the Olympic Committee's New Gender Policy |url=http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/01/chris-mosier-transgender-athletes-olympics.html |access-date=2017-05-06 |work=The Cut |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Transgender Man Who Changed the Olympics, Sportshour - BBC World Service |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p041mff2 |access-date=2017-05-06 |website=BBC}}</ref> In 2018, American [[Patricio Manuel]] became the first trans man to compete in professional men's boxing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Times |first=Kevin Baxter {{!}} Los Angeles |date=2017-08-08 |title=The first U.S. boxer to fight as a woman, and then as a man |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/08/first-transgender-us-boxer-pat-manuel/ |access-date=2025-03-31 |website=The Denver Post |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=America's First-Ever Transgender Male Professional Boxer, Patricio Manuel, Wins His Debut Fight |url=https://people.com/sports/first-transgender-male-boxer-in-us-patricio-manuel-wins-debut-fight/ |access-date=2025-04-01 |website=People.com |language=en}}</ref> {{Gallery | width = 100 | title = Transgender men athletes in men's sports |Schuyler Bailar (cropped).jpg|[[Schuyler Bailar]], men's swimmer for [[Harvard]] from 2015 to 2019|Chris Mosier 41813087412.jpg |[[Chris Mosier]], men's triathlete, duathlete and racewalker| Patricio Manuel.jpg | [[Patricio Manuel]], American professional boxer who competed in men's boxing after transition }}
