International Olympic Committee Delays Transgender Rules After Scientists Disagree on Issues

Breitbart:

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has pulled back on implementing its new rules for transgender athletes after scientists could not agree on the basic ideas in the rules.

The IOC had hoped that their scientific advisors could agree to halve the permitted levels of testosterone in transgender athletes, but the experts could not agree, according to the Guardian.

The current guidelines issued in 2015 maintain that men claiming to be transgender women can compete in the female categories even if they have not completed the transformational surgery only if their testosterone level measures below 10 nanomoles per liter for at least 12 months before competing.

While some of the IOC’s experts insisted that the current requirements could be lowered further without creating an unfair playing field, others are pointing to recent research which claims that testosterone levels really have little effect on a transgender woman’s biologically male muscle strength. read more

  1. …I put the “Olympics” in the NFL “Do Not Watch” pile a long time ago, it’s nothing but a political platform for globalism and perversion now and I can get that by watching C-Span coverage of the House or by searching the Web with the term “Bill Clinton”, so no thanks…

  2. Science hasn’t received its SJW financing yet to ‘settle’ this manufactured issue. But WarmingAlGoreIsFatClimateRefugeesAreVacationers is a settled manufactured issue with an arbitrary beginning but no end.

  3. …they also owe an apology to all those Russian men during the Cold War that participated as women, they weren’t breaking any rules, they were just ahead of their time, trendsetters by today’s “standards”…

  4. “Recent research”

    Where you ignore overwhelming evidence contradicting the result that you’ve already decided upon, because it confirms something that is obvious to any four year old

  5. I had to laugh when I saw this post. Obviously, someone is actually thinking about how to sell all those tickets, hotel rooms, $12. Coke-a-Colas, Olympic souvenirs, and tee vee contracts and ad spots. Go ahead Leftist, climate alarmist, Olympic committee, let the “transgenders” compete. I’m tired of opening ceremonies that celebrate technology and burn through enough electricity to run a small country for a year.

  6. Gawd, I am so sick & tired, weary, and angry about every good organization or event being turned into a freak-show. Some strong leadership telling the freaks where to stuff their ideas & demands would be a helpful first step toward reestablishing decency and sanity.

  7. I keep tellin’ ’em an’ tellin’ ’em: Scrap the Mens and Womens divisions and replace them with XY and XX chromosome carrier divisions.

    The gene test is one-time qualitative analysis and much simple/cheaper than monthly testosterone level checks for a year.

  8. …if they have to debate what a “Woman” is, I would say that it’s time for those “Scientists” to go join Bill Nye in being crabby, irrelevant TV hosts in shows that are used to punish children by making them watch…

  9. Let competitors use steroids for years. Then six months before the games have them taper off the drugs. There should be difference between those who use and those who never used the steroids. This would be fair right.

  10. Let Me Help:

    Cock = Man
    Balls = Man
    Stiches where Cock or Balls were = Man

    Vagina = Woman

    There is a rule in my trade that states: where there is a conflict between 2 regulations the more stringent regulation will be followed. (ie Safer)

    Thus, anything other than Natural Born Woman = Male athlete.
    (the tougher competition)
