IOC on protecting female category
"Male sex confers advantage in all sports that rely on strength, power and/or endurance. To protect fairness..and safety..it's necessary to base eligibility based on biological sex" "The most accurate and least intrusive way to screen for biological sex is to screen for the SRY gene."
"Sex and gender are distinct. Testosterone levels in healthy males are 15-20 times higher than in females. Testosterone levels do not overlap between the groups." "The gap in testosterone levels exists in both general and elite populations." “Males experience three significant testosterone peaks; in utero, in mini puberty of infancy and beginning in adolescent puberty throughout adulthood”
"Males have larger and stronger skeletal muscle and bone, hearts, lung size, more red blood cells and lower body fat than females trained at equivalent level"
"Furthermore female athletes experience performance disadvantages associated with female anatomy and physiology. These may include menstrual cycle, gestation or ligament laxness, wider hips or more breast tissue." “XY transgender athletes and athletes with certain XY DSDs have anatomical and physiological differences in line with being male, even if their legal sex, the manner in which they were raised or their gender identity may vary.”
