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.

So the IOC wants to abolish women’s sports.


It’s like the Boy Scouts caving to the Marxist Homosexual lobby. What woke corporations want they get. The IOC is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast.

Have they issued an apology to the East German Women’s Swim Team yet?

Yeah we know - you don’t have to be a woman to compete against real women. 🤪

Could this be the IOC pulling a Cloward-Piven on the transgender front? When biological men are winning all the medals in Men's and Women's events it will be the feminists crying out the loudest.

Where is this going? I just had a thought and even though I thought of it as just a dumb idea, the more I thought about it ...

Why are teams organized by countries?

Is it “fair” that some people are paid by their government to play the Olympic games? Some are “Nancy Kerrigan’s” while others are from the wrong side of the tracks, the “Tonya Harding’s” of the world.

Total IOC reaction to their 180-degree decision just a year ago to keep a man, Castor Semenya, from stealing the 200m (only the most likely medal he would have taken up to 2000m plus relays), based on exactly the decisions they are reversing this week.

The only good news is, this 'decision' could make the Xi Regime lose face and completely destroy the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in just 3 months.

Imagine a bottom-20 giant slalom f@g on the men's side, simply signing up for the distaff side, and suddenly winning the womyn's gold giant slalom medal going away.

Ice skating, biathlon, solo cross-country -- guarantee there are more than one Millenial f@ggots happy to grab a womyn's medal and disrupt what they perceive as an archaic competition.

SCHADENFREUDE!

That would be great, and might be the result, but it's far more likely the IOC consists of Leftist POS.

"And China LAUGHS as our country costumes to spiral down the toilet ALL part of the China plan, I SPIT on all of our RINO legislators who are also in the pockets of the CCP!!!"

The 2022 Winter Olympics are in BEIJING, Kit Cat, and the last thing Xi wants is men simply signing up for the women's medals.

The Chinese despise 'woke', and the name they give woke folk in the US is "Baizuo", and it's not a compliment.

This development is something very close to the IOC giving the CCP the middle finger, and it would have everything to do with Xi's failure to grift the individual IOC nation-members with the appropriate graft.

This begs the question. Are women now allowed to take testosterone and other male hormones for training and before competition?

Yes, those who believe that these are end times have a case that grows stronger every day.

China should just have all their “female” athletes be men and give the IOC the middle finger.

Russia could play too!

This needs to be crammed down the throats of the IOC.
