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

Posted on 11/20/2021 12:50:17 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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.

A man who cuts off the penis, is still a man.

Agreed. Barack Hussein is still a man, just not much of one.

Why not just merge the mens and womens divisions then?


Good point. If there are no differences between the sexes (since they are “based on unverified, alleged, or perceived advantages”) why have separate men’s and women’s sports at all? If it means the end of women’s sports, well, that’s just the cost of progress.

I am amazed that every institution has capitulated to this tiny group of people with a mental disorder. It is something to behold.

Bare foot pregnant and in the kitchen, that’s all they deserve. Let the real men/women show how it’s done. Title nine my ass.

I won’t make a sweeping statement because different people approach the situation different. However, I think it is safe to say that the vast majority of “transgenders” do not have major surgery performed. They still have the equipment. They are men who wear dresses. They used to be called transvestites. That was a fetish which might, or might not, be treated at a psychiatrist’s office. Today, the man in a dress is “transgender” and he is special and important and deserves a gold medal in the Olympics for being stronger than a girl.

There is a reason for this—but it only makes sense in full context.

The elites want to reduce world population. I call it flattening the population curve.

One of their (many) tactics is to normalize perversity.

That is why every major media outlet and almost every government in the world is peddling this garbage.

It's ultimately a spiritual disorder. This is real "end times" stuff, it seems to me.

I barely noticed the last Olympics. I don’t think I will see the winter ones coming up. Olympics were popular in large part because one of the networks stopped all programming and put the Olympics on for 3 weeks. Now that I stopped watching any local or network TV and I don’t get cable. I barely notice the Olympics exist.

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.

By the "logic" being espoused here, there is no need for separate men's and women's events in the olympics. There should be one open event for each sport where everyone (men and women) compete for the spots to represent their respective countries and ultimately against the international competition at the olympic games.

The end result will be olympic teams comprised entirely (or almost entirely) of biological men, unless they reserve a few 'token' spots in the name of 'diversity' for the team events.

Yeah, the same “estrogen”* that I take in supplement every two weeks for hypogonadism.

*Testosterone, of course.

“alleged, or perceived unfair competitive advantage due to biological sex”

Martina Navratilova (gay tennis champ) said she could not compete with male tennis pros because of their superior strength and speed. She called it like it is. I respect her honesty and the fact she will say what is not politically correct. Navratilova is not loved by the trans lobby.

How many trans (woman to man) compete against men at a professional level and win?

The end of women’s sports, at least at the competitive level.

Want to be sure only males compete against other males and females compete against other females?

A simple DNA test will do ya. Good for a lifetime as the perverts haven’t yet figured a way to change DNA.

They should go to participation medals only.

So the IOC wants to abolish women’s sports.

Exactly! These young female athletes needed to be very vocal when this started. Now, it is probably too late.

I can't wait for the males who id as female enter the skating rink for that competition. If that happens, no female will ever win the Women's skating medals because the guys can do quad jumps and the ladies have a problem with that. And, since it is now scored on the difficulty of the jump, womens figure skating will be toast.

Why in the L do they even have a women’s team then? Just to have a T&A team? Canceling the sexes and then the human race...fools.
