""We oppose a generalisation of genetic testing, which raises numerous ethical, legal and medical questions, particularly in light of French legislation" which does not allow such tests, Sports Minister Marina Ferrari said in a statement."

France calls new Olympic gender testing 'backward step'

The IOC announced on Thursday that only 'biological females' will be allowed to compete in women's events, preventing transgender women from competing.

@GeofCox More people need to call out this primitive decision. Genetic testing proves nothing about a person's capabilities.

And with the IOC recently releasing their own study that proved trans women actually *underperform* against cis women, this decision of theirs is clearly just based in bias and bigotry and not science.
