Let's try to get this straight: No one is 'banned' No one is 'prevented from competing' No one is 'excluded' There is a sex category for everyone. Everyone can compete, where eligible. You need to be good, and to qualify. So, as they sometimes say; #trainharder

Why is a group of crows called a murder? Cardboard Cinema breaks it down for us. By the way, they are my new favorite account. Brilliant. 🤩

@CBCOlympics .@cbcsports @CBCOlympics cant you ever centre female athletes in your headlines/stories. This issue is 💯about the integrity of sport & @iocmedia got this right. How about recognizing the work of a 🇨🇦 with integrity who had a leading role, IOC Med/Science Dir. Dr. Jane Thornton.

Well done @sharrond62!

STOP the lies @CTVNews and do your job properly. Trans-identifying male athletes are not "banned from Olympics". They are simply required to compete in the appropriate sex category. Finally.

The Rocky Mountain Trench is 1,500 km long and separates the Rockies from BC's western mountain chains. Four river basins drain from it. The First Nations called it The Trail of the Ancient Ones, and today it is called The Valley of A Thousand Peaks. This is the story. 🧵 1/8

Chandler v. CDCR has been dismissed AGAIN. This is a case about men being housed in the California women's prison. A federal judge has now dismissed it TWICE. Link ⬇️ (paywall, but tons of stuff above it, including some Lola lyrics, thanks to Moby).

At this very moment my thoughts go immediately to Canada's Melissa Bishop. She is the rightful GOLD MEDAL WINNER of the women's 800m at the 2016 #OlympicGames in Rio. Melissa deserves to be awarded this medal retroactively (along with the other podium winners) and the #Olympic archive needs to reflect the fact that #Canada won the gold ten years ago. #Justice #TeamCanada #cdnpoli

@Noahpinion Male Athletes will now have to compete against other male athletes.

It's not clear to me that the long arc of moral history bends in the progressive direction on this particular issue

@Noahpinion @Janeanon13 Allowing male athletes to punch women in the face in a boxing ring on a global stage was never progressive in the first place.

Dear @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews and other major news outlets in #Canada: Team Canada #soccer player Quinn self-identifies as "trans" "non-binary" yet will continue to be eligible to play in women's soccer. WHY? Because Quinn is FEMALE. Sport performance is based upon physical #BiologicalSex . Male or Female. This is what the @iocmedia is saying today. To say that "transgender athletes are banned" is obviously incorrect. Someone like Quinn will not be "banned." And men who identify as women have the male category where they can compete. Please be accurate in your depiction of this breaking news. #Canada #Journalism

I’m a feminist and this woman deserves an apology.

Great job, @iocmedia Eligibility for the female category via SRY screening. Trans-identifying males and athletes with androgenising DSDs to be excluded. Well done to all involved, particularly to Kirsty Coventry and Jane Thornton for their leadership here. #IOC

Females who identify as male are still eligible to compete in the female category. Ergo, the IOC did not “bar transgender athletes from competing in the women’s category.” This post is factually inaccurate.

Sex screening in female sport I've written about the rationale for screening, why cohort-wide genetic screening is the most defensible approach and traced the developmental pathway—from a single gene to athletic advantage—that underpins eligibility policy. #IOC Link to follow.

Males are excluded from female competition, as they should be. ✅ Well done #OlympicGames Committee. ✅

@CBCOlympics Stop it. Men. You mean MEN. Male athletes will now have to compete against other male athletes. e.g. Men with the DSD - XY 5-ARD will no longer permitted a free pass to punch women in the face.

BREAKING 🚨 The IOC has officially banned males (including those who are trans-identified) from the female sports category. It's a perfect time to watch our video on the sex screening process in collaboration with @FondOfBeetles, @BrowngaGreg, @runthinkwrite, @Scienceofsport!
