Transgender track and field athletes can't compete in women's international events

World Athletics Council, the governing body for international track and field, will bar transgender women athletes from elite competitions for women.

The council's policy, which will be in effect starting March 31, largely targets athletes who transitioned from male to female after going through puberty as a male. It will also tighten rules for athletes with disorders of sexual development, cutting in half the level of testosterone athletes can have in order to compete in women's events.

The council said they ultimately decided to prioritize "fairness and the integrity" of the female competition over inclusion. Though the council says there are no transgender athletes currently in international track and field competition, the ruling could hinder several people who've won Olympic medals in the past.

"Decisions are always difficult when they involve conflicting needs and rights between different groups, but we continue to take the view that we must maintain fairness for female athletes above all other considerations," Sebastian Coe, the council's president, wrote in a press statement on Thursday.

If anything they should just have a Trans league for sports for perverts like Snowpussy and Mainecunt to drool about.

Hopefully the outrage among the GOP’ers over this will result in more debilitating strokes. :lol:

:lmao:Can't make this shit up. 

Men's sports:   Its illegal to use hormones to enhance performance.

Women's sports:  You must use hormones for 12 months in order to compete.  

The current IOC regulations allow transwomen athletes to compete if testosterone levels have been lowered to <10 nmol/L for 12 months prior to competition.

A transgender-identifying male secured first place at an amateur female cycling event in New York City over the weekend.

 

Tiffany Thomas stood atop the winner’s podium at the Randall’s Island Crit, a New York City-based race, next to two women who scored second and third place, according to a social media post from NYC Cycling News.

Thomas is affiliated with the L.A.-based women’s cycling group L.A. Sweat.

“Tiffany is a scientist by day, athlete by night,” Thomas’s bio on the L.A. Sweat website, first reported by ABC7 News, reads. “She has never met a barbell, a bike, or a dog that she doesn’t like. She is so incredibly excited to race and represent the LA Sweat team this year!!!”

Thomas’s victory in New York City was not an anomaly. The cyclist has placed in various competitions in recent years, costing women titles, including at the 2022 Bucks County Classic in Doylestown, Penn., where Thomas came in second.

A Twitter user claiming to be a “female bike racer,” has criticized Thomas’s obvious physical advantage in cycling.

“Tiffany Thomas has been on countless podiums, going from a total beginner to the elite level in just 5 years,” the user said in comments first reported by uncovered by ABC 7.

While Thomas’s teammates are all between the ages of 24 and 32, the account claimed in a February Twitter thread, Thomas is 46 years old, and only started cycling at 40 years old.

Thomas appears to have admitted to being a low-performing cyclist in early races in a video posted by the account. At Thomas’s first race, the cyclist came in fifth out of a field of 24 women in the beginner’s female division.

Female athletes in sports ranging from skateboarding to power lifting to swimming are increasingly dealing with male intrusion. Two female Canadian powerlifters recently told National Review that the presiding body of their strength sport has completely ignored their concerns about a male competing in their division. They said they plan to take legal recourse against the Canadian Powerlifting Union soon.
