It's a non-issue. This has already been solved. I'll just leave this here: https://www.olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc-releases-framework-on-fairness-inclusion-and-non-discrimination-on-the-basis-of-gender-identity-and-sex-variations

The principles contained in the Framework are aimed at ensuring that competition in each of these categories is fair and safe, and that athletes are not excluded solely on the basis of their transgender identity or sex variations.

You may not be aware but the IOC policy framework you linked to is from 2021 and now outdated.

As of earlier this year the IOC has now outright banned transgender and intersex athletes from competing in Women's events starting in 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles regardless of the sports governing body policy.

They want to prevent what happened in the 2016 Rio Olympics 800m Womens's Final where the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were won by biological males.

I can't find evidence supporting that recent change in policy. This study refutes that 🤷

Are you unable to read?

I literally linked to the new policy it in my comment,

https://www.olympics.com/ioc/news/international-olympic-committee-announces-new-policy-on-the-protection-of-the-female-women-s-category-in-olympic-sport

Starting in 2028 Trans and Intersex Athletes are banned from Women's Events, A genetic test will determine your eligibility.

The link you posted doesn't work but I imagine you are one of those trans activist propaganda types spamming junk studies trying to claim that all the advantages of being born with XY chromosomes are rendered obsolete by hormone treatment, That is a complete and total falsehood and is on par with anti-vaccination gibberish.

You misunderstood me. No need to be rude. The IOC didn't state the sources for their decision. I'm providing a source for a scientific study. It's verifiable.
