Nature is healing.
Sanity is prevailing.
And, fairness is being restored in world athletics.
After the absurdities of the Paris Olympics – where two boxers who previously failed gender eligibility tests identified as women and went on to win gold medals – World Athletics has announced a mandatory one-time genetic test for all athletes wishing to compete in women’s categories.
No longer will females at the elite level face the gross injustice of being beaten by male bodies.
President of World Athletics, Sebastian Coe, is determined to protect the integrity of women’s sport.
“I’m absolutely committed to doing everything I possibly can to protect and preserve the female category,” he said.
“If you don’t do that, then we know where that leads … I don’t want my sport to witness what many of us witnessed in boxing.”
“It was always very clear to me and the World Athletics Council that gender cannot trump biology.”
And, reality must trump trans ideology.
Coe understands that fairness is paramount in sport and has pledged to “shift the dial” on the issue and restore fairness for female athletes.
A simple cheek swab or blood test can establish whether a woman is a woman.
The presence of XY chromosomes will mean the athlete cannot compete at the highest levels.
Trans activists are predictably irate and claiming discrimination but the truth is that these athletes will not be banned from competition.
They will just be banned from competing against women, they are free to enter the men’s categories where they belong.
