Over 40,000 people urge International Olympic Committee to 'keep women's sports for women'

^{Published on 2024-12-04 14:13:38 - Terrence Williams, N@N}

A new petition states the IOC has "prioritize[d] feelings over fairness" and "ideology over truth" through policies involving transgender participation in women's sports.

The article from MSN discusses a petition on Change.org that has garnered over 40,000 signatures, urging the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to maintain women's sports exclusively for biological females. The petition, titled "Keep Women's Sports Female," was initiated by former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines and other female athletes. It addresses concerns about the fairness and safety in women's sports, particularly in light of the IOC's framework on fairness, inclusion, and non-discrimination which allows transgender women to compete in women's categories under certain conditions. The petitioners argue that allowing transgender women to compete could disadvantage biological women due to physical differences, potentially affecting scholarships, opportunities, and the integrity of women's sports. The petition calls for the IOC to reconsider its policies to ensure that women's sports remain a level playing field for female athletes.
