Trans gender women have been banned from womens’ swimming sports according to the Washington Post and other news sources.
A win for common sense.

Is Mise,

You beat me to it. I have a bit more detail:

The International Swimming Federation has decided that biological males will no longer be allowed to compete in women's swimming events unless they have finished their gender transformation by the age of 12 years.

Lia Thomas is out.

However, it is said that biological males still have advantages over females regardless of hormone treatment before puberty. So, there might be more to come. (Spectator, 20/6/22)

If you look at swimming as a sport, winning and losing is about milliseconds.
Any minor advantage or deviation completely undermines swimming as a viable competitive sport.
It's good that common sense has prevailed here.
Who cares what the trans people think about it.

Right. It's not logic, but a mob of people who have been forced to act because of public opinion. Had not public outrage and insistence on what is obviously right and proper been kept up, the people responsible for swimming would have continued slithering along in their fear of a few loud-mouthed lunatics.

Nobody could be more disinterested in sport than I am, but I hope that all sporting bodies act on this stupid, unnatural nonsense.
