Ridiculous overkill

Only biological #female #athletes, whose gender will be determined by a one-time gene-screening test, will now be eligible to take part ​in female category events at the #OlympicGames, the International Olympic Committee (#IOC) said Thursday.

@Nonilex no trans women even participated last time — the whole issue is a distraction

Exactly. And Olympic level athletes have been scrutinized all their lives, training since childhood, undergoing health checks, a team of trainers around them. Their identities are well established. It’s political theater.

@Nonilex @mkoek Don’t presume to play sport, achieve athletic prowess on an international stage, if you are a woman. Perhaps there need to be a new and separate games for women and trans people : run by inclusive people who care about sport and the ability to participate, not misogynists.
