A ban on transgender women competitors is strongly expected to be in place for the 2028 Olympics – but it remains unclear if there will be barriers against athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD) after the boxing furore at Paris 2024.
Under the existing rules, each sport is empowered to decide if transgender women can compete if their testosterone levels fall below a designated threshold.
But the International Olympic Committee, under new president Kirsty Coventry, is in discussions about a dramatic policy shift that would impose a blanket ban across all sports for the Los Angeles Games.
Such a move would prevent the kind of scenario that saw Laurel Hubbard contest the weightlifting at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Hubbard transitioned in 2012.
While Olympic sources have confirmed that such a measure is very much the ‘direction of travel’, it is highly unlikely to come into force before the Winter Olympics in Italy next February.
One report suggested that a rule change could be announced in February, but insiders estimated it might take between six months and a year for it to be approved and cleared.
The move would be seen as a box ticked by Coventry, who campaigned to protect the female category on her way to winning the presidential election earlier this year.

Khelif was born female, and no medical evidence has been published to indicate she has XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone. Since June 2025, Khelif has not participated in any events organized by World Boxing following a requirement that all participants undergo genetic sex verification tests.
1) This person is not claiming any special medical condition. Says the person was born female. Says the person has no Y chromosome.
2) But this person refuses to undergo sex verification tests.
It's reasonable to conclude that he is a liar. He probably has a Y chromosome. Just require testing and the new rules aren't controversial at all. Unless you're trying to cheat.
I think the trans frenzy has reached it’s peak. Contributing to this, no doubt, is the bad press from all the trans murderers, assassins, and generally bad actors and kooks in the news. It’s not so cool to be trans anymore.
The Olympics should be entirely done away with, due to the problems of 0.0001% of the population.
Its so simple. Anyone that claims a genetic “condition” has a dna test. What that reads is your sex. Thats where you compete.
They can play with themselves
Great news! As for Khelif if he has gone through male puberty he has no business boxing against women.
Interesting.
I don't recall much of any discussions prior to imposing the entry of Trans women into olympic competition.
I don't remember any description of the move as "dramatic" or of any question of the move being a blanket requirement across all sports.
It seems odd to me that returning to normalcy would be approached with such trepidation.
Maybe we should ask ourselves what we have Olympic competition for, in the first place. If it is to watch a group of people who have been sterilized by Nature or their own efforts to compete, then what is the point? The Olympic competitions are stylized and designed to show off what has been deemed the ”best” of Humanity. There is no point in watching a bunch of infertile Orcs play out the games.
bttt
There’s a big difference between transgender and DSDs. Some people with DSDs are born with female reproductive organs and XY chromosomes. Many of them never know about their condition until adolescence.
If the IOC decides to ban them, then ALL the athletes should be tested before they are allowed to compete.
What the IOC did the last time was not right. It didn’t question one boxer’s sex until that boxer was winning.
If you have the Intersex condition, you should compete. However, if you are a MENTALLY ILL MALE (or female), you shouldn’t. Intersex persons are between 0.018 to 1.7% of the population. Of course, that would be about 1 in 5000 births, if you do the 0.018% figure.
Perhaps the Babylon Bee will set up the Translimpics in a nearby Lost Angeless venue. Before any actual physical competition begins, there could be a beauty pageant, a fashion show, and seminars on the best surgeons.
olympics already tests for everything else, so easy enough to test for presence of Y chromosome:
Grok: “Testing for X and Y chromosomes is actually very simple, fast, and inexpensive today.Here are the most common, real-world ways it’s done (ranked from simplest/cheapest to more advanced):Cheek swab + qPCR (the most common method in 2025) You just swab the inside of your cheek (or spit in a tube).
Labs run a quick quantitative PCR test that looks for the presence and amount of the Y chromosome (usually the SRY gene or other Y-specific markers) and compares it to X/autosomal markers.
Turnaround time: Same day to 48 hours
Cost in the US: $49–$150 (many companies like 23andMe, TellmeGen, or gender reveal labs do it for under $100)
Accuracy: >99.9% after ~7–8 weeks of pregnancy (or anytime in life)”
even better [instant $2 Y chromosome tests]:
Grok: Yes, quick point-of-care lateral flow assays (LFAs) can absolutely be used to detect the Y chromosome, and several such tests already exist and are commercially available or in advanced development.
How it works
These LFAs target Y-chromosome-specific DNA sequences, most commonly:
1.The SRY gene (Sex-determining Region Y) – the master gene for male development.
2. The TSPY (Testis-Specific Protein Y-encoded) multicopy gene.
3. The DYS14 marker within the TSPY region (very commonly used because it has hundreds of copies, giving extremely high sensitivity)
The test is essentially a “molecular pregnancy-style strip test” for maleness.Existing/Commercially available Y-chromosome LFAsRapid fetal sex determination tests (point-of-care, 10–15 min results)Several companies sell CE-marked/approved lateral flow tests that detect fetal Y-chromosome DNA from a drop of maternal blood as early as 7–8 weeks gestation.
Examples: “Pink or Blue” early gender test (not LFA, colorimetric tube)
But true LFA versions exist from companies such as Omega Biosciences, Novosanis, Israeli/Singaporean startups, etc.
Research-grade and commercial LFAs using CRISPR-Cas12a or RPA + lateral flow for SRY/TSPY detection are already published and some are sold for research use.
Forensic / sexual assault kits
Some rapid presumptive tests for male DNA (e.g., RSID™-Semen, ABAcard p30) exist, but true Y-chromosome-specific LFAs are being developed/deployed for confirming presence of male DNA at crime scenes in <30 min.
Livestock and veterinary useVery common: lateral flow tests for Y-chromosome detection in cattle, horses, etc., for rapid sex determination of embryos or blood samples (widely sold in agriculture).
Research and POC human sex verification
Paper-based devices and isothermal amplification (RPA, LAMP) + lateral flow detection of SRY or multicopy Y markers achieve sensitivities down to ~1–10 copies/µL and are fully compatible with point-of-care formats.
Several groups have demonstrated true 15–30 minute, equipment-free Y-chromosome lateral flow tests using only a finger-prick of blood or saliva.
Bottom line
Yes – rapid, point-of-care lateral flow assays for Y-chromosome detection are not only possible, they are already real, commercially available in some markets (especially veterinary and early fetal sexing), and are actively being translated into human clinical/forensic POC diagnostics. Detection is robust, cheap (~$2–10 per test), and can be read by eye in 10–20 minutes.
