International Olympic Committee Says Biological Male Trans Athletes Should Not Have to Lower Testosterone to Compete in Women’s Events
The Daily Signal ^ | November 18, 2021 | Laurel Duggan, the Daily Caller

The International Olympic Committee recommended that sports organizations allow biologically male, transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports without lowering their testosterone levels.

The committee stated that no athlete should be excluded from competition based on unverified, alleged, or perceived unfair competitive advantage due to biological sex in a Tuesday report. The report says athletes should compete in sports based on their self-determined gender identity and should not be subject to “targeted testing” to determine biological sex.

“Athletes should not be deemed to have an unfair or disproportionate competitive advantage due to their sex variations, physical appearance and/or transgender status,” the report said.

The International Olympic Committee went on to state that athletes should never be pressured to undergo “medically unnecessary treatments,” including hormone therapy, which some transgender people use to lower their testosterone to the level to that of a biological female.

It doesn’t sound like there is any need for surgery. All a person has to do is self identify as the other gender and enter the competition. The people in that committee really must hate women.

The left won’t stop until nobody wants to watch or be in sports anymore. Competition is unfair to absolute equality!

Oh I cannot hardly WAIT until the inevitable day that the first trans male wins “Best Actress” Oscar at the Academy Awards, beating out four other (presumably) dem nominees. The phoniness will be legendary.

Like the Nobel Committee who made themselves immediately irrelevant when they gave the Peace Prize to Yasser Arafat,

Now follows the Olympic Committee.

huh? This makes NO sense. These ‘competitions’ are no longer fair and equal ‘competitions’ amongst the same sex. So all basis for the competing no longer exists. Completely bizarre ruling.

“It’s Science!”

Your GPS is also “science” when it leads you into a swamp. Of course, if you’re a member of the IOC, you’ll believe it’s where you wanted to go because the “scientific” GPS told you so.

But steroids are verboten.

So after all the efforts to protect women in sports, makes sure
they have equal treatment, they now allow men to enter in and
destroy every record they’ve ever achieved?

I’ve not been the biggest supporter of “title” efforts for women
due to conflicting issues, but this is one area where I fully
support them and think they are being terribly abused.

This is total nonsense.
