The IOC announced Thursday that eligibility for female category Olympic events will be “limited to biological females,” determined by genetic testing.
“You cannot change your sex,” she wrote. “President Trump’s Executive Order protecting women’s sports made this happen!”
Though it’s an issue that affects very few Americans, trans women’s participation in sports has become a fixation for Republicans who claim to support women’s rights, all the while passing abortion bans and limiting access to health care.
Amidst volatile debate, the IOC’s stance was highly anticipated. IOC President and former Olympic swimmer Kristy Coventry said the decision is “based on science and has been led by medical experts.” Trans women with reduced testosterone levels were previously allowed to compete.
In the 20 years that trans women have been allowed to compete at the Olympics, there has been only one trans woman Olympian, (New Zealand weightlifter Laura Hubbard in 2021) and she did not win a medal.
