Ivy, who is transgender, won two consecutive world women’s track cycling championships in 2018 and 2019 representing Canada. But she was forced to retire from cycling in 2023 after the sport’s world governing body changed its policy and barred trans women from competing*.

*barred men from competing as women

“This isn’t protecting the female category,” Ivy said. “This is only going to harm women and girls.”

oddly enough, Ivy didn’t seem too concerned about harming women and girls when he was busy stealing womens championships

The IOC will now require SRY gene testing for all female athletes and ban those who test positive – including trans women or women with differences in sex development – from competing (as women)

It was heartbreaking,” said transgender boxer (male) Patricio Manuel. “Sports have been an amazing vehicle of inclusion in this society, and to weaponize it against athletes based on a hypothetical situation – to me, they are using sports to further weaponize and segregate trans athletes, and especially trans women (men), out of society by not allowing them into (womens) sports.”

USA TODAY interviewed several trans and intersex athletes who said they fear the policy will have negative impacts on female athletes and said they do not believe the new framework reflects what most athletes want.

these athletes evidently didn’t care that their mere presence and participation would negatively impact women, but now that they are banned from womens sports, suddenly they are just super-concerned about women

“They don’t give a crap about women’s sport,” Ivy said. “Do you think girls and women are more or less safe if they have to prove their sex to someone? And when we look at the history of sex testing of women in sport, it’s a highly invasive process rife with sexual abuse and harassment.”

Ivy doesn’t seem to care about womens sports, since he seems bent on forcing himself where he isn’t welcome.

Ivy is super-concerned about all the women who have to now undergo testing because jackasses like him made it an issue in the first place

“I call bulls---,” Mosier said. “I believe this is rooted in politics, not in the actual lived experiences or the day-to-day experiences of athletes competing in women’s sports, because the truth is, there are very few trans women competing in women’s sports compared to the number of cisgender women. So this is largely a solution in search of a problem.”

sorry Mosier, but your “woke gender identity” is actually rooted in politics, and quite frankly, nobody cares about your “lived experience” any more than you care about any cis woman’s “lived experience”

Manuel said the new policy, “felt like a slap in our face for the work that had been done to try to actually make inclusion in a sport."

“inclusion” probably means including a wide variety of women, not including men pretending to be women

“Unfortunately, the IOC has now betrayed all of its values it claims to have in things like the Olympic charter,” Ivy said. “The Olympic Charter has these seven fundamental principles, one of which is that sport is a human right. Everyone has the right to participate with freedom from discrimination of any kind. Well, this is a plainly discriminatory policy not based in science that violates international human rights law all over the place.”

sports is a human right, for the handful of people who make the cut.

for everyone else… fuck off

everyone has the right to participate with freedom from discrimination of any kind,

that is, unless you are an ordinary man, who is routinely excluded from womens sports based on nothing more than their sex!

Notably, the IOC will not require genetic testing for athletes in men’s sports. Mosier and Manuel, both trans men, said they’ve mostly been ignored or dismissed as lesser competitors – an attitude rooted in the misogynistic assumption that women are inferior to men.

the entire premise of “womens sports” is based on the obvious fact that men are actually superior to women in almost every sport

“We cannot choose our genes or chromosomes, but we can choose how hard we work, how we treat one another and whether we protect the dignity of every athlete."

and also, you can choose your “gender” apparently…
