The last time I spoke in detail with the media was a long, long time ago when the very first and last trans athlete competed at the Olympics and came dead last. It's so sad that now we have all this science that supports inclusion, and we have politicians using a tiny community as scapegoats, and for the IOC to fall for this political interference & diversion is what makes it saddest for me. A massive paradigm shift in anti-acceptance and anti-inclusion has evolved under Coventry’s 'leadership since her appointment in 2025. The @iocmedia can't be a standard bearer or the moral arbiter of everything, but on the flipside, they are global community leaders; they are pervasive in every community from JNR sports up, and people look to them for leadership, and if they don't lead, there's a vacuum. Women at all levels of the Olympics movement have contributed to making the Olympics a safer place but equally there have been many male champions of change that have stood up and championed diversity, tolerance and acceptance none more so then Thomas Bach and his previous IOC Executive Team. Since 2003 the @ioc have been at the forefront in championing inclusion and diversity in particular with the first ever trans polcoe developed in 2003 followed by the 2016 and 2021 policies. Since the IOC has created a rule for trans athletes to compete in 2003, over 81,000 people have become Olympians. Out of those 81,000 Olympians a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42. There isn’t a single trans or intersex woman dominating her sport. Even Caster Semenya, the most famous, & most successful, intersex woman athlete doesn’t “dominate” her sport. Caster has won a total of two Olympic golds medals & holds no world records.  By contrast, Katie Ledecky has won a total of 9 Olympic gold medals and has broken 19 world records since 2013. Why is Katie Ledecky treated like a marvel, and Caster Semenya and transgender women are treated like mutants? There currently exists no evidence to suggest that trans women who elect to suppress testosterone (through, for example, gender affirming hormone therapy and/or surgical gonad removal) maintain disproportionate advantages over c_s women indefinitely. More specifically, current evidence suggests any physical performance advantages  trans women do not fall outside the range observed among XX women after 2 years of testosterone suppression. youtu.be/B8CzqxhZk7I?si… transresearch.org.au/post/trans-wom…

'They can go in their own categories!' @Nanaakua1 and Peter Tatchell and Nana Akua go back and forth over the IOC banning biological males from women's sports.

After today's excellent decision by the IOC.,if the Rio 2016 women's 800m. was held today, the 3 medallists in my photo. Wambui, Niyonsaba & Semenya would be barred and the medals would go to Canada's Melissa Bishop, Poland's Joanna Jozwik & GB's Lynsey Sharp @AthleticsWeekly
