Founded in 1912, World Athletics – previously the International Amateur Athletic Federation – was formed to standardize equipment, competitions, and recordkeeping. And beginning this Friday, any biological male who has been through puberty before “transitioning” is banned from women’s sports.

In regard to transgender athletes, the Council has agreed to exclude male-to-female transgender athletes who have been through male puberty from female World Rankings competition from 31 March 2023.

World Athletics conducted a consultation period with various stakeholders in the first two months of this year, including Member Federations, the Global Athletics Coaches Academy and Athletes’ Commission, the IOC as well as representative transgender and human rights groups.

It became apparent that there was little support within the sport for the option that was first presented to stakeholders, which required transgender athletes to maintain their testosterone levels below 2.5nmol/L for 24 months to be eligible to compete internationally in the female category.

In terms of DSD regulations, World Athletics has more than ten years of research and evidence of the physical advantages that these athletes bring to the female category.

Experts in sports medicine and sports science (and track and field) agree that passing through puberty as a male gives young men inherent benefits regardless of what happens after. Years of research, they say.

Unfair advantages.

This is great news and a step in the right direction, but it needs to trickle down. The K-12 schools and colleges obsessed with letting boys compete as girls continue to have a degrading effect on opportunities for young women. Being sporty as a hobby is a distraction but taking it seriously is an investment in time and resources. It is a path many may forego, knowing that achievements will be more difficult or impossible if they must compete against otherwise unexceptional boys and young men who have traversed puberty before discovering “success” in women’s sports, thanks to the transgender agenda.

Losing an event or a game could cost a scholarship opportunity or a chance at competing nationally or internationally.  So yeah, the same progressive culture that is obsessed with prattling on about glass ceilings has introduced one made of even tougher stuff.

World Athletics should be applauded for its bravery, but until that ‘science’ finds its way back down the food chain, thousands, if not millions, of girls are going to grow up knowing they can’t win, so why bother?

It’s a good day in New Hampshire for Dunkin Donuts! Chris Christie … whose appearance suggests that he starts every day with three dozen donuts … is back in town.
