The International Olympic Committee has decided to ban transgender athletes from female events at future games, it has emerged. The ban will restrict transgender women athletes from competing in any female event, both individual and team, at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event moving forward. It is unclear how many transgender women are competing at an Olympic level. At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat. So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category.
