Under the new rules, trans women can only compete in sailing events if they haven't undergone male puberty past Tanner Stage Two, with testosterone levels below 2.5 nanomoles per litre constantly.
World Sailing aims to ensure fair competition and prevent unfair advantages, especially in female and mixed categories, with a policy under review by the medical commission.
Trans sailor Stephanie Helms expresses deep disappointment, highlighting sailing's equipment dependency and perceived lack of bias towards either gender in performance potential.
Governing bodies like World Athletics and the International Cycling Union have also implemented restrictions on trans athlete participation in sports.
