The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.Two men won gold women's boxing medals in the last (Paris) Olympics, and Wikipedia reports:
Following Khelif's victory over Italy's Angela Carini during the 2024 Olympic Games, misinformation surfaced on social media about her gender and eligibility to compete. False claims that Khelif is male were fueled by Khelif's disqualification ...He is male, and he dropped out because he was going to be tested.In May 2025, World Boxing announced the implementation of sex verification testing for all athletes in events sanctioned by the group; its announcement specifically singled out Khelif by saying she would be barred from competing until she takes the test and it proves the absence of a Y chromosome. World Boxing faced criticism for the announcement, with president Boris van der Vorst apologizing to the Algerian federation for what it perceived as a violation of her privacy.[82][83][84][85]
Khelif had intended to return to international competition at the Eindhoven Box Cup in June 2025. However, following World Boxing's announcement of mandatory sex testing, tournament officials reported that Khelif had not registered for the event.[

Men aren't women. Scientists utterly shocked biological sex isn't a social construct, and that 'self identifying' incorrectly doesn't cause spontaneous matter reconfiguration resulting in miraculous sex changes. At least several dozen triggered as they check what's in their pants, and a class action suit on Sesame Street is pending against the words 'man' and 'woman' being highly offensive and sexist.
In other news, Columbia faculty grudgingly admit that encouraging foreign students to riot on campus about eradicating Israel and destroying the West looks slightly bad, and that enrolling students according to race is kind of sort of technically a wee bit racist. Who knew.

When history looks back at our present, they are going to ask a lot of hard questions about mass hysteria that causes highly educated people to lose their tempers and minds.
