  • The LPGA banned biological males who went through puberty from competing against biological females on Wednesday in a major policy update.

The article from American Military News discusses a new policy by the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) that bans transgender athletes from competing in women's golf tournaments. This decision was made to ensure fairness in competition, following guidelines set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other sports governing bodies.

This move has sparked a debate on inclusivity versus competitive equity in sports, with various stakeholders expressing mixed reactions.
