“World Athletics asserts the SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. But biological sex is much more complex, with chromosomal, gonadal (testis/ovary), hormonal and secondary sex characteristics all playing a role.”
Sex testing is not only invasive, it’s also inaccurate.

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990
World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

My career in football is 26 years old now, I got swept up in a whirlwind and stands before you as a better person

I wouldn’t have met my friends without you
Thank you this dream of mine coming true
Thank you for all of these things that I’ve done
And all these things I wouldn’t have seen without you
