Why Men Shouldn't Compete in Women's Sports: A Scientific Perspective

A world where biological men are allowed to compete in women's sports. Sounds crazy, right? But that's exactly what's happening in some places. More than 40, 000 people, including athletes and activists, have signed a petition asking the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to keep men out of women's sports. You might be thinking, why is this even a discussion? Well, some organizations have started letting males who identify as female compete in women's sports. This has led to some unusual situations, like two boxers, Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, winning gold medals in the 2024 Summer Olympics' women's boxing competition. These boxers were previously disqualified due to gender reasons. The IOC's leader, Thomas Bach, supported this decision. But does this mean the IOC is more extreme than the United Nations on this issue? Maybe. After all, the UN reported that women have lost close to 900 medals across 29 different sports to biological males. Science tells us that men have a clear strength and size advantage over women. Even at the high school and college level, you see this. Take Lia Thomas, for example. While competing in the men's swimming division at UPenn, Thomas was just okay. But when competing against women, Thomas won a national championship. This doesn't make sense, right? Luckily, there's someone who might change things. Sebastian Coe, a legendary runner and IOC candidate, has promised to introduce a clear policy to protect women's sports if elected. Given the shift away from gender radicalism in Europe, Coe might have a good chance. His win would be a big deal for women and girls everywhere. It would show that sanity can win over ideology. So, if you think this makes sense, sign the IOC petition and let's keep the pressure on!
