The president of the Olympics’s governing body no longer believes in basic human biology when it comes to determining a person’s biological sex, a testament to the influence of progressive gender ideology across many major institutions.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach suggested during a press conference Friday that identifying people’s biological sex based on their chromosomes is outdated. His comments came in response to a question about the recent controversy over two boxers competing in the women’s division after failing sex-identification tests administered by an outside sports body last year.

Can you imagine trying to explain to an earlier generation of feminists how societal progress brought us to men making better women.

We are returning to the age preceding science, where proclamations were made by studying cast chicken bones after eating eyes of newt

If you were unsure just how radical Thomas Bach is, and thought he might have some reasonable justification for his decisions, now you know he is a radical transgender defender. Bye-bye women's athletics.

It's time to abandon the U.S. participation in the Olympics, and then, while we're on a roll, kick the UN out of America!

In other words, men make better women than women.
And the response from the NAG gang is......(crickets)
Mr IOC can say good-bye to many corporate donors.

So the passport replaces the DNA test as proof of gender. Good to know. Thanks a lot, Thomas.

If chromosomes don't count, then why not let horses run the 800 meter, and kangaroos do the high jump? Maybe they identify as people; some peoples' dogs do.

So the best woman for the job is a man? That's great. I thought we were suppose to follow the science. Science of chromosomes has not changed because some man has decided we on need to be "woke" on his terms. Stupid nonsense. No wonder the world is so f - ed up.

It's clear now.
This has nothing to do with science.
It isn't about justice.
It's all about power.
All hail the IOC King.

Another reason to cancel the Olympics for good. In four years they can have a pig that consider itself a man or a woman competing. Why not.

And…there it is. They kept trying to talk around the facts, until they just had to fess up to actual dismissal of human anatomy/physiology, genetics and biology.

I have not watched a single minute of the Paris Olympics. The committee chairman reaffirms my boycott, which was at first because of corruption in the top leadership.

Basic biological facts are "outdated," hence men have a RIGHT to beat up females in athletic competitions. Chromosomal categories must be disregarded, despite the consistent advantage to male (XY) competitors created by testosterone exposure before, during and/or after adolescence.
I believe the proper term for this narrative is "gaslighting."

What this is, is Leftist BULLYING.
If they can BULLY all the participants into officially agreeing (whether they believe it or not) that a male is a female, then they can BULLY the participants into agreeing to ANYTHING.
Look for a group of ex-fourth-rate male college basketball players to take over the Olympic Women's Basketball in the not-too-distant future.... for that matter, look for ex-fourth-rate male college athletes to take over ALL the Women's events except the balance beam and gymnastics.

The Olympics are officially dead, the wokesters running it have turned it over to the transgender crowd. No need to openly claim to have gender dysphoria. Just proclaim yourself as a woman and by magic you become one, these games will never again be a contest of highly practiced, dedicated athletes.

Where are all the one-time "feminists" these days. After fighting for things like Title 9, they have gone silent about the trans situation in sports. Goodbye, women's sports.
