World Athletics It is proposed to consolidate its eligibility criteria and keep the door open to the female category to all transgender women competing at the highest level.
As media evolves Guardianthe official body intends that these athletes undergo treatment to reduce testosterone levels below 2.5 nanomoles per liter for two years.
Since 2018, athletes with Different Sexual Development or hyperandrogenismthat is, those who are born female but naturally produce higher amounts of testosterone, such as Niyonsaba or Mboma, cannot compete in events between 400 meters and miles if they do not maintain testosterone levels in below 5 nanomoles within a year per liter.
However, this new proposal, which will vote in Marchit seems that this is not easily accepted within the organism, which now considers that trans women “maintain an advantage in muscle mass, volume and strength over cis women after 12 months of hormonal treatment. And those advantages are likely to continue afterward.”
“Adolescence also produces gender differences in height, weight, wingspan (throwing), pelvic and lower limb architecture. These anatomical differences give the athlete an advantage after puberty for certain sporting events event and will not respond to suppression of blood testosterone levels in postpubertal trans women,” the paper says.
The process for changing the eligibility requirements for DSD was consulted on federation members and will allow for significant changes, “while also providing a pathway for the eligibility of trans women and 46 XY people (people with gender developmental disabilities) to compete in the female category, ” as is the case with Caster Semenyatwo-time Olympic champion in the 800 meters who refused to comply with hormone treatment or an operation, although he ultimately lost appeals filed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Right now, the World Athletics it said that “gender cannot override biology. The integrity and future of women’s sports, if we don’t get it right, is very fragile.” Your president, Sebastian Coe, accepted the proposal imposed by the International Swimming Federation in June 2022 that it limit access to its female categories to swimmers who “became female before puberty”. “If they give me a choice between justice and inclusion, I will always be on the side of justice to protect the integrity of women’s sport,” he commented, a line of thinking that needs to be changed in view of the March meeting.
