RE: https://flipboard.social/@NewsDesk/116295932331714887Update: The team at @Defector takes a look at the IOC's justification for this new policy: Nothing. "No scientific papers are cited. No research is detailed. No citations or attribution can be found. There isn't even a hyperlink. Everything is stated as fact," writes Diana Moskovitz. "The new policy also ignores that its proposed solution — testing for the SRY gene — has been done before. It was abandoned by the IOC in 2004 because it didn't work."https://flip.it/r3pRJS#Sports #Sport #Olympics #TransRights #IOC
