South African Caster Semenya said the IOC's reinstatement of gender verification tests for the 2028 Los Angeles Games was "a disrespect for women." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2026/03/30/caster-semenya-ioc-gender-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #castersemenya #internationalolympiccommittee #transgender #women039sissues #lgbtq #humanrights #kirstycoventry

The reason why anti-trans people like #jkrowling
have to claim that #imanekhelif #CasterSemenya, and others are biologically male, despite being born female, is because if they concede that they are women, then their arguments against #Transwomen in sports get weaker. -
#Sexeligibility #rules for #female #athletes are #complex and legally #difficult.
Athletes like #ImaneKhelif of #Algeria and #LinYuTing of #Taiwan are left #vulnerable in the fallout. The modern era of #eligibility #rules are widely known to have started in 2009, after #SouthAfrican #800meter #runner #CasterSemenya surged to #stardom on the track as an 18-year-old #goldmedalist at the #worldchampionships.

#Olympics no longer Semenya's goal amid court fight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGFqmEJKbZMHyperandronism is a condition that Semenya has. #Racism, #misogynoir and #sexism all play a part in this nonsense the Olympic body is putting this athlete through.

"I know I look like a man. I know I sound like a man and maybe even walk like a man and dress like one, too. But I’m not a man; I’m a woman. Playing sports and having muscles and a deep voice make me less feminine, yes. I’m a different kind of woman, I know, but I’m still a woman."

CW: 18 "I stand with Caster" - Lux
#TracksAndField was invented to mark the World Athletics championships.
#WorldAthletics is a horrible organisation, it wants to medicalise Black women to meet white people's prejudices on femininity. For years, WA has been a schoolyard bully, picking on Caster Semenya because she's different.
Pushback came from an advert in South Africa, where Semenya is a hero, and HRH Sirlord Sebastian Coe is dirt on someone's shoe.

CW: Abusive sports bodies
Caster Semenya can challenge World Athletics' discriminatory rules in court.
Under its leader HRH Sir Sebastian Coe, WA claims it can order women to change their chemical makeup to fit its western ideals of femininity.
WA also excludes trans women from its events, thus ensuring athletics is no longer a sport.
More on this in next month's music challenge, #TracksAndField.
