Episode Details

The International Olympic Committee introduces a new policy, excluding transgender women from womens events starting at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Athletes must pass a one-time genetics test to confirm eligibility based on biology. The policy, mirroring World Athletics rules, focuses on the SRY gene, which indicates male development and stays fixed for life. The change aims to protect fairness and safety in womens categories, as research shows treated transgender athletes retain physical advantages from male puberty. The policy applies only to Olympic and IOC events, not recreational sports, and isnt retroactive.
