Trans rights are impeding your rights and destroying women's safe spaces. Just insanity.

These people were not born with penises.  At least, no one with knowledge of the situation has claimed they were.

The IOC has no gender rules.  The IBA does.  The IBA banned these women.  But the IOC revoked their recognition of the IBA before that ban occured, and the IOC has not adopted a new rule or recognized any new competition committee that would allow them to investigate the matter and presumably ban these women.  

I also have to emphasize that women like this have always been around winning medals.  It is not new.  This is not any grand conspiracy to introduce more gender confusion.  This is simply unforeseen consequences of a dumb pissing contest between IOC and IBA that isn't even about gender.

Swimming seems to understand the issue.

Right, swimming had a hormone based rule that Thomas passed but now instead they have changed it to a birth and development rule.  Each sport has their own rules and the rules can change.

But note - the IBA banned these women based on a hormone rule. Opposite of the Lia Thomas situation. We have no idea if they would also be banned based on a birth and development rule.
