FROM FOX NEWS: A presentation at a World Athletics panel in Tokyo on Friday revealed that 50 to 60 athletes with male biological advantages have been finalists in the female category at global and continental championships since 2000.
The panel was led by the head of the World Athletics Health and Science Department, Dr. Stéphane Bermon, who said sex tests were necessary because of an “over-representation” of DSD (differences of sex development) athletes among finalists, per multiple reports.
Controversy over the issue in World Athletics arose when South Africa’s Caster Semenya won Olympic gold in the 800 meters at the 2012 and 2016 Games. Then, at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Namibia’s Christine Mboma claimed silver in the 200 meters.
Reem Alsalem, the UN’s rapporteur on violence against women, compiled a report titled “Violence against women and girls in sports.”
According to the report, more than 600 athletes did not medal in more than 400 competitions in 29 sports, losing out on about 890 medals.
The United Nations has said nearly 900 biological females were beaten to the podium by trans athletes
“The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males,” the report said.
“This is huge, especially coming from the U.N.,” OutKick contributor and “Gaines for Girls” host Riley Gaines told “Fox and Friends” Wednesday. “One girl being exploited in locker rooms, one girl being injured in their sport is one too many.”
