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.

@alice It’s not the first time the IOC has done this. I’m reading a book called The Other Olympians that covers transmasc athletes competing in track and field during the 1930s, and how the IOC bowed to the original Nazi party when they pressured them to test because they were embarrassed their athletes were being beaten. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now.
