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
Except that studies show that outof men and women of the same exact size women are 52% as strong as men in the upper body and 66% as strong as men in the lower body.

He’s from ML, poor chap. Facts just confuse them.
Oh yeah I love when they get all frustrated when you cite sources and then just tell you your sources are dogshit and then never provide one single source themselves.
Not even a half baked attempt at a source. Not even a source from someones personal blog or a YouTube video or a tiktok which of course are all terrible sources but they can’t even produce THAT! its wild to see.
No joke, after I typed this the person linked a YouTube clip from Jackass as their source. Lmfao
Edit: Now he’s accusing me of running your account as an alt. That’s like dangerous levels of delusion. This person is actually mentally unwell.
You’re losing and you know it
By you posting a YouTube video and telling me all scientificly cited sources are bullshit?
Oh yeah you showed me, that you are a dense person who doesn’t listen to science.
Lol try harder halfwit

The link you posted doesn’t say anything you’re claiming, you’re bad at this
Thus, for athletic events and sports relying on endurance, muscle strength, speed, and power, males typically outperform females by 10%-30% depending on the requirements of the event.
Here’s the source that has the exact measurements for upper and lower body differences which is the one I referenced in the original comment

Its ok to disagree with the reality to that if you want to. But it isn’t ok to accuse others of “making shit up” when it is you who is making shit up. I haven’t seen you cite one single source
Sample size of 16 lol, you fucking moron
So if those results are apparent even from as low as 8 men and 8 women what makes you think that gives it any less weight or makes it any less true?
Also, the other sources have a larger sample size and all say the same thing.
Man as long as it took you to type out “you fucking moron” in response to me you could have already cited a source!
We are in the interest of not “making shit up” after all aren’t we?
You are scientifically illiterate, your source is dogshit, you are doing a better job of destroying your own credibility better than I could ever hope to. Thank you!
So, no source from the guy accusing people of “making up bullshit”?
I figured that would be the case.
Also calling pubmed a bad source is laughable, let me guess you are probably an anti vaxxer as well. Shocked I tell you. Shocked.
