“World Aquatics is dedicated to fostering an environment that promotes fairness, respect, and equal opportunities for athletes of all genders and we reaffirm this pledge,” the governing body based in Lausanne said in a statement.
Swimming’s policy on transgender athletes was followed by other top-tier Olympic sports, track and field, then cycling, in excluding from women’s events those who have potentially gained lasting physical advantages from male puberty.
The International Cycling Union noted last year “it is also impossible to rule out the possibility that biomechanical factors such as the shape and arrangement of the bones in their limbs may constitute a lasting advantage for female transgender athletes.”

Meanwhile, the Neanderthals will continue to deny the realities of Gender Dysphoria and live in a fantasy world where such things as hormonal imbalances, etc. and their effects don't exist, so they can indulge in their 'sport' of persecuting anyone who isn't exactly like they are...White, Straight and Christian.

Tell me again how this isn't about just blatantly cheating and wanting to have an advantage that your competitors can't overcome.
