How the hell does that qualify a man to compete with women?? So if some man is in say a car accident and "it" gets chopped off, he therefore is now qualified to compete against women? What kind of insane thinking is this? Who makes these decisions? Obviously people who have no idea what the hell they are talking about.
“Who makes these decisions?”
Leftists, libtards, commies, socialists, fascists, tranny filth, etc etc. And they know exactly what they’re doing: destroying the mores, morals and fabric of America.
” She has undergone gender reassignment surgery and thus qualified to compete with other women in the 2019 track and field season.”
Why not just write the truth and call that thing what it is, a “Mengelized Monstrosity.”
Because the majority of women say it qualifies by voting for the party that's pushing this garbage.
“Who makes these decisions?”
The main determination for these guidelines is established by the International Olympic Committee. Under the previous IOC guidelines, approved in 2003, athletes who transitioned from male to female or vice versa were required to have reassignment surgery followed by at least two years of hormone therapy in order to be eligible to compete.
Female to male athletes have almost no restrictions. They basically have the requirement to qualify. And many do through sports like Equestrian or sailing that don’t pit a need for strength to compete as much as finesse. And there are also mixed competitions like badminton. tennis, and luge in the winter.
As of 2016, male-to-female transgender athletes needed to demonstrate that their testosterone level had been below a certain cutoff point for at least one year before their first competition.
In 2019, the IOC re-tabled the 2016 guidelines. But plans by the International Olympic Committee to introduce stricter guidelines for transgender athletes before the Tokyo 2020 Games have run into the sand because its panel of scientists is struggling to reach agreement on such a thorny issue.
The scientists had been expected to recommend halving the permitted testosterone levels for trans women competing in elite sport. However, several sources have confirmed that the IOC’s draft guidelines have been parked, for now, because the whole subject is so politically charged and sensitive. So the 2016 guidelines are still in effect. And in he US, because the NCAA, National Federation of High Schools, the AAU, and most major amateur athletic associations are a step toward the Olympics, and related competitions that take their cues from the OIC, they pretty much have the final say.
