The International Olympic Committee is reportedly set to ban transgender women from taking part in all female categories.

The change is set to be introduced officially starting early next year, and people are in shock over the news, as cited by different sources.

The decision to overhaul the current policy was made after the sporting committee carried out a science-based review of the biologically born male’s physical advantages, sources mentioned.

The report also spoke about how there were some clear advantages with athletes who had disorders of Sexual Development, which is a range of conditions where a person can have characteristics of both genders that can appear at different points in their lives.

The condition garnered massive attention following Algerian boxer Image Khelif’s gold medal win in the Paris 2024 games. This news has come with outrage across the board, as not many feel that it’s fair, since it was never introduced earlier. Others are in favor and feel like it should have been done much earlier in time.
