"Attacks on trans people have consistently led to more policing and regulation of ALL women's bodies. Everyone is hurt by transphobia. Y'all already know where I stand on this but this policy is so f**king stupid and is not solving a problem that exists."
"I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people?"
"It really seems like trans women participating in the Olympics is a non-issue. This policy is an infringement on all women athletes' rights."
The International Olympic Committee announced a ban on trans women athletes from Olympic events, restricting eligibility to biological females determined by SRY gene screening. This decision marks a significant reversal from the IOC's previous stance allowing trans athletes to compete since 2004. LGBTQ+ athletes, including nonbinary runner Nikk Hiltz, expressed outrage, arguing that the policy does not address real issues in women's sports and that transphobia harms all women. Hiltz highlighted the lack of trans women competitors in recent Olympics, calling for a focus on actual problems in women's athletics.
