Right decision IMO

LGBT community calling it unfair, but I don't see how it is unfair?
What is unfair is a woman with male testosterone levels and strength competing against women.
I think the policy of having testosterone levels below five nanomoles per litre for a 12-month period prior to competition is a very fair policy.
I am sure someone will be cancelled out of all of this though.

Transgenders: more than meets the eye
Transgenders: blokes in disguise’
The autoboobs and decipticocks. Could see potential here, and a toy line.

You say the "five nanomoles per litre for a 12-month period prior to competition is a very fair policy"
But also said you think they have made the right decision by removing the rule...
Anyone who had a male puberty shouldn't be allowed in women's sports.. end of.

Your first line of the OP: Right decision IMO
Which is them taking this (12 month testosterone levels) rule away and just banning them instead.

Maybe I misunderstood the article then.
I thought they removed the policy to review it after complaints from the lgbt community.
I didnt realise they were outright banning transgenders now.
Anyway, I can see how there is room for transgenders in sport, but has to be fair. Cant have a beast of a man go female and then start a women boxing career.

Doesn't work though. They'll take hormones to get booobs and stuff and be female. And the other way around.
