Some work remains to be done to ensure the new policy is legally watertight. Until now the IOC’s policy has been based on recommendations and guidance to sports rather than actually being part of its eligibility rules.

The ban is expected to come into force before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. That would avoid any clash with the US president, Donald Trump, who has signed an executive order that prevents transgender women from competing in female categories. Trump has claimed it would mean the US would deny visas for transgender athletes trying to compete in LA.

Some sports such as athletics and swimming have already brought in a ban on athletes who have been through male puberty taking part in female competition but others, including football, have not.
Coventry, a former Olympic swimmer from Zimbabwe who was elected this year, said in June: “We understand there will be differences depending on the sports. We should make the effort to place emphasis on the protection of the female category and we should ensure that this is done in consensus with all the stakeholders. But we need to do that with a scientific approach and the inclusion of the international federations who have already done a lot of work in this area.”

The new policy is also likely to cover DSD — those who were raised as girls from birth but have male chromosomes and male levels of testosterone.

That follows the huge controversy at the boxing tournament at the Paris 2024 Olympics when two boxers, Imane Khelif from Algeria and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting, won gold medals despite having been disqualified from the previous year’s World Championships for allegedly failing to meet gender eligibility criteria.
World Boxing, the new international boxing federation which has been recognised by the IOC since Paris, has now introduced mandatory sex testing and has said Khelif will not be able to compete in the female category until she undergoes the test.

As a genetically modified Chinese national female athlete, (who speaks English real good)I completely agree with this decision

>>1456554
We Russian ladies will perform in men's Olympic sports since this is permitted.

>>1456481
Oh shit here we go. Any minute now that one tranny schizo is going to flood the thread with arguments how there's no scientific proof that a MtF has a physical advantage in women's sports.

This means opening up female athletics to trans men and high t women, right?

>>1456481
Is the world healing? Has part of leftism finally been rebuked?
Probably not. But, unfortunately, the Olympics will no longer be a 5 ring circus.
I laughed at the trannies destroying the biocunts last in the last Olympics.
And that's because women vote for inclusive shit.

can FtM athletes compete against men?

>women's sports

>>1456667
Why would they want to lose?

>We need to take puberty blockers early because puberty alters our bodies irreversibly, except when playing sports: then the changes in question are reversibile and easily erased by HRT
Trannies and their "allies" are either stupid or disonest.

>>1456669
>The lack/growth of breasts, adams apples, body hair, and vocal changes are all very important for sporting events

>>1456670
No, but one's height, skeleton and muscle mass are

>>1456481
>The International Olympic Committee is set to announce
They're not even announcing they're going to announce, they're planning to announce.
Its nothing

congrats on getting to indulge on your tranny fetish, faggot op

>>1456672
Yeah, all things olympic athletes all obviously lack. Totally.

>>1456674
MTF trans people have an unfair advantage in all of those

Good, troons are not human

>>1456682
True. They gave up their humanity when they decided to deny their biological sex.

Here he is! Let's go!

>>1456659
you're mentally ill

>>1456674
mtf freaks who havent been through male puberty still grow more muscle mass and have stronger bones than women

>>1456667
I don't know how the Olympics does it, but many sports are organized as "sport" and "women's sport". Women could theoretically compete in the generic open sport, but men outcompete them so much that it almost never happens.

>>1456655
kek then the one question that ends them:
>Where are the examples of FtM winning men's competitions?
and they have no response.

Does anybody have that link showing like 2,000 MtF have won women's competitions?

>>1456662
Nobody has ever had a problem with women who call themselves men playing women's sports. Obviously women who roid (whether or not they call themselves men) are still banned just like roiding men are banned from men's sports.

>>1456674
>female athletes are the same height as male athletes
lol
>female athletes have the same bone density, hand size, limb proportions, etc as male athletes
lmao
>female athletes have the same muscle mass as male athletes
now you're just trolling

>>1456786
Therapeutic Use Exemptions exist for both men's and women's sports.

>>1456789
>this is the same as a woman taking enough T to grow a beard
lol

>>1456481
Finally the world is healing from insanity

>>1456482
This seems reasonable, given the way events are run. I think I may be worth examining if categories other than men and women should be considered (weight class, etc). Ultimately, everyone at the olympics will always fall into some variation on "born with advantages over others", whether that's gender, height, hormone ratios, etc. I would bet a lot of the women competing at the highest levels who were born female still have higher testosterone levels than the average woman competing in their sport.

>>1456795
Is it a medical condition or not?

>>1456798
>I would bet a lot of the women competing at the highest levels who were born female still have higher testosterone levels than the average woman competing in their sport.
Jokes on you, the IAAF bans high t women from competing in women's sports. Fuck your natural advantage.

Honest question here. Why the fuck does anyone care so much about sports? Who even watches shit like this religiously that it affects their day to day life to argue about less than 1% of the world population?

>>1456481
So someone having elevated hormones is illegal but people who are quite literally built different (Michael Phelps is a human fish) are revered as record-setting champions?

This would actually be solved with an X category but no one seems to have any brain in sorting events.
There is no fairness in sports like >>1456954 mentioned

>>1456554
Proof or git outta town!

>>1456952
this issue in particular gets a lot of attention because it highlights how batshit insane and completely brainwashed most leftists are. It's not about the 1% that are trans it's about the millions of idiots who are actually stupid enough to think there's no biological difference between men and women.

>>1457006
This issue gets a lot of attention because culture warriors like you need something to be mad at or else you start shooting up schools and supermarkets. There aren't even any trannies in the Olympics ffs.

>>1457007
>I'm a complete fucking idiot who is now embarrassed that I was such a brainwashed NPC so now I'm lashing out to save face
lol

>>1457011
>if I flood the zone with shit-tier culture war stories about non-existent problems then nobody will notice my party's chronic failures
kek

>>1457012
>yes I am such a mindless NPC that I literally believed that men could magically transform into women, but you should still take my opinion seriously

>>1457014
>If I keep virtue signalling about stuff that isn't actually happening then maybe my orange senpai will notice me
loooool

>>1456481
Good. When can we ban them from life?

>>1457018
>we
Who?

>>1457019
delusional nerds without lives, i guess

>>1457020
Oh I was thinking it was kissless virgin incels who are afraid to confront the trannies on >>>/lgbt/ but whine about them on every other board.

>>1457022
>>1457016
>>1456670
The trans threads on /news/ are my favorites because the leftists have been so thoroughly humiliated that they resort to absolutely pathetic coping

>>1457173
Accurate

>>1457173
>>1457180
Is this a bot?

>>1457181
They're both right. I don't know why leftists keep coming to these threads, knowing they're going to get wrecked every single fucking time. Their ideology doesn't change science.

>>1457184
>everyone who doesn't participate in the culture war is a leftist
Why are you like this?

>>1457187
Should trannies be allowed to play in women's sports? Yes or no. It's a binary choice (kinda like gender, no pun intended).

>>1457196
What trannies? It's a solution to an entirely hypothetical problem. Women taking testosterone was already banned since the 1970s.

>>1457006
>not about the 1% that are trans
But it is when normal people are losing rights. Do whatever the fuck to sports and competition but why do people have to lose their way of living for justification to this?

>>1457201
>What trannies?
See this shit? See what I have to fucking deal with? With these slick-shit leftists?

Answer the fucking question you cocksucking retard. Yes - or - no.
