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.

    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

        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.

                I knew it was going to be a YouTube video!! Omg I straight up just said this to another commenter.

                Also this woman is highly trained and skilled of course she got his ass.

                Do you have a scientific source that proves anything you are saying?

                Oh god if the next one is a tiktok video then I’m 2 for 2.

                “Your source is dogshit” provides a source from a show literally called Jackass

                  If a youtube video of a Jackass bit is all it takes to make you look like an idiot then you should probably reconsider your position lol, seeing incontrovertible video evidence of the thing you’re claiming isn’t possible tends to do that to reasonable people
