Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

your move, IOC

reminder that when the IOC did a study on this exact topic the result was 'there's no difference really in fact sometimes they actually have a disadvantage to cis women'
November 10, 2025 at 1:19 PM
Plus, this

One of the biggest studies ever done, showing that not only do we not have an advantage, we may have a disadvantage, commissioned by who? The IOC

Its not like they don't know this

IOC funding a study a year ago that showed trans women do not have an advantage over cis women in sports and may in fact have a disadvantage due to T suppression and now moving to ban trans women & intersex women while keeping israel around and starting the genital inspections anyway

The IOC may not be as much of a racket as FIFA, but it's damn close.
November 10, 2025 at 3:26 PM
glad they're focused on the important issues at the IOC like "a group of people who have never won a single Olympic gold medal in any event being a danger to the integrity of athletic competition"
November 10, 2025 at 1:55 PM
the IOC literally published guidance on trans participation in the Olympics in fucking 2004 just to be clear.

Someone needs to point the IOC to their own study they did last year that shows not only no advantage but a possible disadvantage for trans athletes

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is moving towards a complete ban on transgender women in female events following a review of the evidence on the long-term physical advantages of being born male.

If true, this would be very welcome. I had written to the IOC in June 2025 requesting that the female category in sports be protected.

Some of the replies on here are clueless. Those lambasting the IOC clearly know bugger all about competitive sport at professional level
November 10, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Kind of feels like the IOC expected for the study to say "yeah trans women are like the hulk somehow" and when it completely undercut the reasoning behind banning us. They have simply elected to ignore their own work.

I know it may come as a shock, but female boxers welcome not being punched in the face by men & having the IOC call it sport.

"It follows a presentation last week to IOC members by their medical chief, Dr Jane Thornton, which highlighted the potential physical advantages of competing in women's sport after being born male." No doubt that's one of those studies that compares cis men with cis women. No trans study shows this

Das IOC will - offenbar auf Druck von US-Präsident Donald Trump - trans Frauen aus Olympia herausdrängen.
