A) What about trans-men seeking to compete in men's events?
B) Why doesn't this recognize the existence of people who are biologically intersex? How would this policy be applied to people with XXY chromosomes or complete androgen insensitivity? Obviously, it would be difficult for such people to become top-level athletes, but it's not necessarily impossible.

Transgender women athletes are now excluded from the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday which aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order on women’s sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
The International Olympic Committee said on Thursday it was re-introducing testing for gender to determine eligibility to compete in the female category, preventing transgender women from competing. The screening will mean Olympic women's sports from the 2028 Los Angeles Games will be limited to biological females, which would also rule out those with differences in sexual development (DSD). FRANCE 24's Selina Sykes reports.

The law requires reporting on procedures, providers, and locations, raising concerns about medical privacy and safety. #Tennessee #TransRights #Healthcare #Policy Advocates warn this could go beyond regulation into tracking specific care at a state level, and potentially become a model for other states. Protests have already begun, including the arrest of singer Heather Mae, who was later released on bond, highlighting how quickly this is escalating beyond policy into real world impact. — UPDATE: Heather is being released on bond and is ok! 🙏💜🌈 Tennessee RepubIicans just passed an unprecedented anti-trans bill that is a huge medical privacy vioIation, and puts thousands of community members in real danger. Don’t let them get away with this. Our trans neighbors need our help and protection NOW. Get linked up with @tnequality @singingresistancenashville and @50501nashville to stay in the loop. Correction to text on screen: the bill will not list names, but providers, procedures, county and more. As well as requiring providers to also provide ambiguous “detransition” care. And foIIow in stories for updates on @heathermaemusic and if they need baiI assistance, etc. ✊🌈💗 #transrightsarehumanrights hb754 Follow @melodywritessongs for more.

Heute war die Entlassfeier der Abiturient*innen. Mein jüngster Sohn mit dabei. 13 Punkten im mündlichen Abi - in Mathe. Verrückt.
Stolz? Ja. Sehr.
Besorgt? Ja auch.
In was für eine Welt schicken wir euch jetzt? Haben wir euch dafür genügend Kraft und Skills mitgegeben? Gibt es überhaupt genügend Kraft und Skills für diese Welt?
Ja.Gibt es.
Ihr habt es verdient, dass ich meine Angst und meinen Pessimismus kurz beiseite schiebe und versuche euch zu ermutigen. Jetzt ist euer Moment größtmöglicher Freiheit und eine ganze Welt liegt vor euch. Ich freue mich darauf zu beobachten wie ihr sie bereichern werdet.
Sie gehört jetzt schon mehr euch als denen die sie besitzen wollen.

I am not a gigantic fan of Harry Potter nor do I support tranphobia, I do however think it's like watering a fake plant and expecting growth to dwell on someones fiction series being less inclusive to trans than it is any other minority.
Put that rage into something productive. The bible is an instruction manual for genocide. People still practice and study it en mas, no body worships Harry Potter like a god
Idk. Be productive.

Update: The team at @Defector takes a look at the IOC's justification for this new policy: Nothing. "No scientific papers are cited. No research is detailed. No citations or attribution can be found. There isn't even a hyperlink. Everything is stated as fact," writes Diana Moskovitz. "The new policy also ignores that its proposed solution — testing for the SRY gene — has been done before. It was abandoned by the IOC in 2004 because it didn't work."
It is probably going to cost me some #followers while I don't even have many..
From Barilla (now they’ve changed position) to Chick-fil-A, HBO and now the Olympics, I’ve seen and heard way too many people saying that they are going to boycott them. But honestly, have you and/or are you really going to stop subscribing to HBO or watching the Olympics?
I have no solutions or advice for what's happening. But I feel the pressure and the tension growing as you do..
