Obviously it's a murky subject on the topic of intersex and transgender athletes participating in the ladies' competition. However on the whole, the focus is on matters related to achieving a fair competition to a sport rather than someone's morality. The IOC, with consultation from a multitude of countries, dropped many of the testosterone and sex testing criteria for this year, where before the 2016 olympics, trans and intersex athletes were barred completely without genital surgery.
