It was recently reported that the IOC’s latest transgender guidelines will be delayed because of “very conflicting opinions”. That is not surprising, as the latest version of the guidelines have been gridlocked for a number of years. However, more tellingly, and potentially concerningly for women's sport, the IOC have indicated that a framework or guidance document for its member federations may shift the prioritization towards inclusion, with fair and meaningful competition something to “bear in mind”. In this bonus episode, exclusive to Patrons, Ross shares some thoughts about this shift, and how it may undermine the integrity of women's sport, and why the balance of imperatives that sport seems so committed to achieving is an impossible, if desirable, task.
