Transgender women athletes are now excluded from the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday

The women's category of Olympic sports will be limited to biological females from 2028, says the International Olympic Committee.

According to the statement, eligibility for the female category is to be determined in the first instance by SRY gene screening to detect the absence or presence of the SRY gene

Transgender women are now banned from Olympic competition, according to a policy announced Thursday by the International Olympic Committee.

Women athletes will have to undergo a one-time gene test in order to compete at Olympics, beginning with 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles

Over 100 human rights, sports and scientific groups have criticised the new gender eligibility guidelines as ‘a blunt and discriminatory response’
