The International Olympic Committee will prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports, starting at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

The new policy, approved by the IOC’s executive committee Thursday, requires all athletes to undergo a genetic test to compete in women’s sporting events at the Olympics.

    This site is absolutely cooked sometimes.

    In most sports, men have an advantage due to physical size, it’s why sports often have a women’s and an open category.

    Creating meaningful competition is why we have these categories.

      Advantage based on physical size is resolved by separating competitors based on size, not gender, fucking duh
