This is an important victory for all of those brave women who have been campaigning, in the face of some pretty vile abuse, to keep men out of their sports.

No. This is shockingly bad science because there is no actual definitive evidence supporting the exclusion of trans women from women's sports. Plus, this will be used to exclude any woman who is not deemed woman enough.

I support this policy, but a bunch of people showing what this is actually about, calling us “men.” They don’t care about women, they care about degrading us. I don’t know why so many people are so cruel. They can’t show us the bare minimum of dignity and call us “trans women.” at some point we’re gonna have to learn to live together and it’s gonna require treating people with dignity on these policy compromises.

TERF Island reigns supreme. That said, I have many issues with feminists and feminism. Happy to work together on this topic though.

Fairness in competition matters. Women deserve a level playing field in sport, based on biology and performance. And we can still treat every individual with respect and humanity while protecting that fairness.

It’s about time. The IOC didn’t need a scientific review. They needed cover for their cowardice.

This is something that came to pass... but for a moment there! It’s astonishing to think that a condition like autogynephilia, where some men experience arousal from presenting as women, managed to convince society that they could compete as women. The result has been a distortion of female identity and a challenge to women’s rights. The fight continues, the one Emmeline Pankhurst began, is far from over.✊️
Replying to @RupertLowe10
All countries must now ban events from taking place on their soil where men compete against women. It is not enough to rely on these woke sporting bodies to protect women. We can barely rely on governments to protect women.

We still have a job to do. For their to be elite female athletes we have to rid grass level female sports of men and boys - we must not allow young women to be discouraged by being beaten in unfair competitions.

A huge win for fairness and women’s rights in sports 👏🏽 Female athletes have fought hard for a level playing field, this decision finally respects that. 🏅✨

Remove medals they unfairly won and give them to the actual women that won.

So now can all the men who cheated their way to medals in women’s events be stripped of those medals and titles please?

well, what do you know 😳 maybe we can agree going forward it’s better to have all the voices heard at all times without suppression, oppression, and unnecessary platforming of dangerous minority ideas that become de facto and state-sponsored 👹 🙏🏻 healthy boundaries 👻💜

Common sense has prevailed! It's been a long time coming, but let's hope that the trickle down effect is rapid and reaches all aspects of sport at every level. I'm disappointed because of how long this has taken, but finally this ruling can bring sanity back to sport.

What decent uncaptured women have to put up with, and use their time and energy to defend women's rights to women-only spaces and children's safety. Victory against the woke.

It took a scientific review to tell them men are stronger? I'm happy to see steps in the right direction anyway.
Replying to @RupertLowe10
Any single woman or any mum of boys and girls CAN TELL YOU THAT. We are not the same and boys have advantage physically. Always
Replying to @RupertLowe10
Crazy to think that we live in a time where we have to fight to keep men out of women's sports...

Replying to @RupertLowe10
Yes. Letting them compete in women sports is in fact a new kind of misogyny
Replying to @RupertLowe10
10 years and billions spent only to realise men are stronger than women

Replying to @RupertLowe10
And they really needed a scientific review to tell them what is so blatantly obvious to all the sane people amongst us?🤔

In chess — an IOC-recognised sport — France recently let a transgender woman compete and win its Women’s Championship. Chess rules differ since physical strength isn’t seen as a factor in performance.

The corruption of female Olympic sport has come mainly from men including Caster Semenya, Imane Khelif & Lin Yu-Ting. Men with 5'ARD DSD who were raised as girls, but at puberty, obviously male. Sought out by corrupt coaches. Those three men robbed women of Olympic gold medals.

I assume transgender men will also be banned from all female Olympic events also?
Replying to @RupertLowe10
Next we need to tackle awards and accolades. No more males should be winning ‘woman of the year’ awards.

Does this make it possible for criminal prosecutions to take place against both participants and thosethat vetted them? Primarily thinking of the boxing s.o.a.b.

and strip them of the medals that they "won" by cheating

Replying to @RupertLowe10
Great news but we must now collectively move harder and faster to put an end to activist language like “being born male”.

Replying to @RupertLowe10
Now all these men should be stripped of all their medals they won in an unfair competition.

The question remains though Rupert, why has it taken so long? Surely, this was obvious

It's no different from banning Heavyweights from competing in Lightweight competitions.
