Transgender women will no longer be allowed to compete in female track and field events regardless of their levels of testosterone, World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said Friday.
Speaking after a meeting of the global track and field federation’s decision-making body, Coe sad: “The Council has agreed to exclude male or female transgender athletes who have been through male puberty from female world ranking competitions from March the 31st this year.” Coe said World Athletics had consulted with stakeholders including the International Olympic Committee and national federations about the issue of transgender athletes.
“The majority of those consulted stated that transgender athletes should not be competing in the female category,” he said.

NO such thing as " trans ". No matter how much surgery of drugs, men are still men. BY the way, how many so called " trans men " compete against men?

A welcome outbreak of sanity in an otherwise insane world. Could this be the start of the inevitable pushback against woke craziness?

That this is even a news story shows how devolved we have become as a species.

A refreshing moment of clarity! I hope they will resist the onslaught of bullying they will receive because of this. If we can get people to take these stands, and to STAND FIRM, we can turn things around.

Hopefully, this is at least a start. I have never understood the silence of most of the feminist harpies. Allowing men to compete against women would eventually destroy women's sports. Most women's sports are mainly watched by friends and family of the female athlete and don't draw much outside interest. Allowing males to dominate will drive away what little interest it has now. Yet, for some sort of leftist ideology of liberal women, with few exceptions, keeps them quiet.

I wish he would have said the decision was a no brainer instead of it being a tough one to make.

It's about time someone came up with some common, now what SHOULD be done is to outlaw men from women's locker rooms and restrooms . If they still have their penis they have no place in the ladies room.

Seb Coe, two years younger than I, has long been one of my athletic heroes, one of the greatest middle distance runners ever with world records in the 800 meters and one mile. As the president of World Athletics, a ruling body of track and field, he and his cohorts have done what is necessary to save women's sports from being dominated by mentally ill (or just conscienceless) men play acting at being women. There should be no tolerance for this stuff. No XYs in XX events, ever.

Curb the enthusiasm…
Fta: “We’re not saying ‘no’ forever,” he said, adding that a working group headed by a transgender person would be created to further monitor scientific developments.

We need XX Olympics and XY Olympics. Anything other than those goes to a decision-making governing body.

If common sense and healthy rational thinking still existed in our society, this would not be news.

They're going to "further monitor scientific developments" read, they are going to further monitor "scientific" experiments on perfectly healthy human bodies.
In Europe, of all places, home of Mengele.
They need The Great Physician to heal their hearts and renew their minds.
