Lia Thomas and other transgender athletes are banned by world swimming's governing body from competing against women: Separate 'open category' will be set up
quote:
Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who smashed women's records this year, will be banned from competing against women in international events after the world swimming's governing body announced that it will bar transgender athletes who went through male puberty.
FINA, the international federation sports federation for swimming, announced on Sunday that it is changing its policies so that transgender women can only compete in women's races if they have completed their transition by the age of 12.
They will then have to prove to the federation that they have continuously suppressed their testosterone levels since that time.
FINA is now setting up an 'open category' for transgender athletes to compete against one another at events including the World Aquatics Championships, World Swimming Championships, and Swimming World Cup.
A working group will spend the next six months to determine how the 'open category' would function.
'We have to protect the rights of our athletes to compete, but we also have to protect competitive fairness at our events, especially the women's category at FINA competitions,' FINA President Husain Al-Musallam said in a statement.

The Alphabet people better start writing him letters otherwise they will lose the most important civil rights issue in the last 300 years.

This won't sit well with the left who can't win female/female or male/male sporting events.

This is good news, but…

transgender women can only compete in women's races if they have completed their transition by the age of 12.

Been saying that they need their own category. All standings from last women's swim season should be corrected

This is actually going to be used to justify abusing elementary aged kids and not allow them to develop naturally.

i.e. 2 men's categories
This is why I love this movement. It destroys the left's narrative and they still refuse to acknowledge it.

So we'll have a third category for men that dress like women? Or women on roids?

With the creation of an open category, this should not violate anyone's "right to compete," if there is such a right.

FINA fina eat.
Minority groups have taken to carving out "safe spaces" recently to the exclusion of majority group members so you'd think they'd jump on this with open arms; however, I think we know the end game is to actually control all spaces.

Yeah don't see many women volunteering for the open cat
I bet a lot of non-trans males who aren't good (but better than the trans participants) go there and dominate

I'm glad you agree that we need to do away with Title IX
