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. The LPGA's policy now requires athletes to have been born female to participate in its events, effectively barring transgender women from competing. This move has sparked a debate on inclusivity versus competitive equity in sports, with various stakeholders expressing mixed reactions. Some argue that the ban is discriminatory and goes against the spirit of inclusiveness in sports, while others believe it protects the integrity of women's sports by ensuring a level playing field. The policy change reflects a broader trend in sports where governing bodies are reevaluating transgender participation rules.
