The International Olympic Committee plans to ban transgender women from participating in women's competitions.

According to the British newspaper "The Times" reported on the 10th, the International Olympic Committee is planning to announce a new policy at the beginning of next year, which will prohibit transgender women from participating in women's events at the Olympics. It is reported that this new policy revision is based on scientific research on transgender athletes. The research found that transgender women who were assigned male at birth, even if they lower their testosterone levels through medical means, still retain their innate physiological advantages. Jan Sutton, the Medical and Scientific Director of the International Olympic Committee, presented the preliminary results of this research at last week's IOC meeting, and an IOC insider said that the members highly praised the presentation. "The Times" reported that in order to ensure that the new policy is watertight from a legal perspective, there is still some work to be done.
