“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”
Asked whether Hack’s priorities were measures he could support, Platner agreed. “Yes, indeed. They most certainly do,” he said.
That is the IOC’s new rule. From https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2026/03/26/what-makes-an-olympic-athlete-female-the-rules-just-changed-again/
The cheek swab or blood test that the IOC will require for female athletes will determine the presence or absence of SRY. Only those without the SRY gene will be able to compete as women in Olympic events.
The new rule doesn’t just eliminate transgender women from eligibility, but also women with certain conditions known as differences in sexual development. Some of these individuals who were identified as female at birth may still carry the SRY gene. While they may have been raised as girls and identify as female, they likely have high testosterone levels. The presence of the SRY gene means they would not be eligible to compete in the Olympic female categories under the new rules.
You claimed that the IOC deliberately discriminated against Black women. If that were the case, the IOC would never have switched to the new test.
