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
This opens up the door for “biologically male” athletes that have XX chromosomes to compete against women. And what about people with rare conditions that give them three or four chromosomes? These rare conditions occur naturally at rates higher than the rate of the Olympic athletes from a general population (it’s more common to have three or four chromosomes than be an Olympic athlete). What a stupid, ignorant decision from the IOC.
