Very concerned about these statements by the IOC at #Paris2024. There are multiple international treaties and national constitutions that specifically refer to #women and their fundamental rights to equality and non-discrimination, so the world has a pretty good idea of what women -and men for that matter- are. Also, how can one assess whether fairness and justice has been reached if we do not know who we are being fair and just to?


Tonight a woman steps into the ring for the Women’s Welterweight boxing final to decide the Gold medal. She fights a boxer with ‘Male Karyotype’, XY chromosomes, a male. Tomorrow another woman fights a male in the Women’s Featherweight final. @IOCmedia has sanctioned male violence against women in the name of sport. Women’s Rights Network stands with all the women failed by the IOC policy that puts inclusion of males above the safety of women. #SaveWomensSport #XX

@guardian They should. And they'd have an army of women behind them. Male violence against women should not be an Olympic sport.




OK, science geeks. Sex testing and sport. There are many people spreading misinformation about the reliability of sex testing, repeating arguments made for its abolition some 25 years ago. I don’t know if they have noticed that we’ve undergone something of a genetics revolution over the past few decades 😀
