The International Olympic Committee will prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, starting at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

The new policy, approved by the IOC's executive committee Thursday, requires all athletes to undergo a genetic test to compete in women's sporting events at the Olympics.

You're gonna be downvoted because you've put zero thought or effort into your argument. There are undeniable physical differences between humans regardless of dominant sex hormone, separating sports by gender necessarily forces members of both groups to compete against people that they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating. Tall women have a massive advantage over short men and short women, the smart thing to do is let people compete with other people that are actually physically comparable. Tiny men vs tiny women is fair, giant women vs giant men is fair. The bone/muscle density thing is bullshit, simple as.

Do you have a source about the bone/muscle density thing being bullshit?

I noticed you told another commentor "anything is possible when you make shit up" so we really should be backing things we say up with sources in that case, right?

Do you have a source for it being true? Nobody else here does

[–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes in provided you multiple sources in other comments.

I notice you haven't provided a SINGLE ONE.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You want a source proving that women can compete with comparably sized men? Here, cry about it

Ah yes a highly trained professional athlete beating up a guy who drinks and does drugs for the entire series.

This makes all the scientific papers cited not true?

Also I love how "that study is only 16 people you MORON! Here's a source form a show called jackass with TWO people"

The second half of that really sounds like a kink thing.
