Episode Details

The International Olympic Committee introduces a new eligibility policy for womens events, requiring transgender women to pass a one-time SRY gene test to prove they dont have a Y chromosome marker linked to male development. The policy, which applies to everyone including minors, has sparked controversy, with human rights groups and medical organizations calling it discriminatory, while others praise it. Few openly transgender athletes have competed at the Olympics, and the policy mainly targets rare cases like those involving high testosterone. Exceptions exist for conditions like complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, but questions about fairness remain.
