The IOC needs fundamental reform: transparent processes, open dialogue, and true accountability. But most importantly, athletes' human rights must come first. Sport exists for people, not the other way around. Read about how female intersex athletes are impacted: interaction.org.au/resource/pos...

Gender stereotypes drive public scrutiny of intersex athletes. Social media becomes a weapon for humiliation. This isn't just harmful- it's a direct result of the IOC's discriminatory approach to women's sport. Read about how female intersex athletes are impacted: interaction.org.au/resource/pos...

For many intersex women, sports exclusion is just another trauma layered on top of childhood interventions. They've already faced unnecessary surgeries and treatments- now sport tells them they don't belong either. Time for change. Read more: interaction.org.au/resource/pos...

Text: IOC Eligibility Framework: Harm arising from testing

“Under previous and current testing regimes, women athletes may only discover that they have an innate variation of sex characteristics in the course of eligibility testing for competitive sport.

The facts: women with these traits don't have male-typical development. There's no proof they have performance advantages. Yet the IOC framework treats them as outsiders. This isn't about science- it's about exclusion. Read about female intersex athlete impacts: interaction.org.au/resource/pos...

Text: IOC Eligibility Framework: “Involuntary reclassification out of birth registered sex. Women with traits problematised by World Athletics and similar regulations have innate developmental traits that mean they do not undergo a puberty or sex development comparable to male typical puberty or development. Evidence regarding performance in sport by women with these innate traits is scarce and provides no conclusive evidence of any decisive performance advantage. Even if such evidence becomes available, it need not presuppose that women with these traits are no longer women, nor eligible to compete in sport.”

Imagine being told you're not really the sex you've always known. That's what happens when women are involuntarily reclassified in sport. This practice violates human rights and is opposed by experts worldwide. Read about female intersex athlete impacts: interaction.org.au/resource/pos...

Text: IOC Eligibility Framework: “Involuntary reclassification out of birth registered sex
The application of any method of sex classification that differs from the actual processes of sex determination and classification that applied to individuals at their birth can result in some women registered female at birth finding themselves reclassified in sport. This involuntary reclassification is opposed by community and human rights organisations, clinical and genetics organisations, and the scientist whose team discovered the SRY gene.”

The IOC can't even define sex scientifically. They try to use single characteristics like chromosomes or hormones, but sex is far more complex. This scientific ignorance drives discriminatory policies that hurt athletes. Read more: interaction.org.au/resource/pos...

10. IOC Eligibility Framework: Lack of a clear scientific basis “World Athletics and similar regulations presuppose that sex can be determined by reference to a single sex characteristic. Historically, attempts have been made to determine eligibility in sport by reference to phenotype (physical appearance, in particular appearance of genitals) or chromosomes. Current World Athletics regulations require mandatory testing for the SRY gene. These sex characteristics are rarely tested at birth and, even if tested for, are only one factor among many that influence sex registration.”
