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.
It’s arguable whether that’s a good idea but even if you give it the benefit of the doubt trans women don’t have an advantage after hormone therapy at least not huge all evidence shows this also this plan also discriminates heavily against intersex people or even women with certain genetic conditions.
“At least not huge” or “don’t have an advantage”? Because those mean completely different things.
A colloquial “not huge” can be equivalent to a statistical “no advantage”. I don’t know if that’s what they meant though.
