This is what a lack of knowledge about what's actually being regulated and why it's being regulated looks like.

Sex tests are not merely mouth swabs. These tests are not about excluding trans women from the WTA.

Any female identified with a SRY gene will be subjected to secondary sex testing procedures. The last time the Olympics did sex testing 8 women were found to have an SRY gene. All underwent invasive secondary testing and all were cleared to compete as they had no advantage. Sadly all of their careers and in one case her life was lost via suicide.

In 2014 Duttee Chand failed an initial SRY test so the @WorldAthletics made Duttee undergo a chromosome analysis, an M.R.I. and a gynecological exam that she found mortifying. To evaluate the effects of high testosterone, the @WorldAthletics and IOC’e sex testing secondary protocol involves measuring and palpating the clitoris, vagina and labia, as well as evaluating breast size and pubic hair scored on an illustrated five-grade scale.

This measure to return to sex testing of female athletes represents a return to practices that are unethical, unscientific and discriminatory and which were widely condemned in the past by doctors, bioethics experts and international human rights organisations. Even the scientist who discovered it says the IOC should not use SRY test to determine gender of women's athletes.

There is no scientific evidence linking the SRY gene an advantage in sporting performance. No one has yet been able to find any connection between this gene and athletic performance.

NYU Prof. Ruby Thelot on why everyone suddenly cares about taste:

"I wrote a book called A Few Essays on Taste, where I make the case that taste is not just aesthetic preference. Taste is a way for people to consume virtuously. The question of taste emerged in the 17th century, at a time where people needed guidance as to how to consume properly."

"In 1688, the Bill of Rights happens in England after the Glorious Revolution, and the nobility's powers are restrained. As they lose political power, they also lose cultural power. At the same time you have the growth of the British colonies, immense amounts of wealth being generated, and suddenly you have this nouvelle bourgeoisie, this new elite. And there's a belief that this emergence of excessive luxury will lead to the decay of society."

"It is in the vacuum, in the reduction of the cultural power of the previous nobility, that the question of taste emerges. What's interesting to me is that we're in a similar position now. We're entering a similar industrial revolution. We're in the midst of immense amounts of wealth being created, and we're asking ourselves, how do we consume virtuously? That is why the question of taste is emerging. It mirrors 17 and 18th century England."

Fora da Copa do Mundo após ser barrado por imigração dos Estados Unidos, árbitro somali Omar Abdulkadir Artan se pronuncia:

“Apesar das circunstâncias, estou de bom humor e focado nos próximos desafios da carreira. Eu quero agradecer à família do futebol pelas mensagens e desejar aos meus colegas o melhor durante a Copa do Mundo. Estou ansioso para encontrá-los no futuro. Quero agradecer à FIFA e à CAF (Confedederação Africana de Futebol) por todo o suporte e prometo continuar evoluindo meu nível e concentrar no futuro.”

FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States.

The Somali referee is one of Africa’s most respected officials. Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports say Artan travelled with a valid US visa.

Yet Somalia is on a travel ban list introduced by President Trump’s administration.

🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.

“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”

Watching Alexander Zverev compete at Roland-Garros, it is easy to see the athlete.
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child, he is competing at the highest level of professional sport. His journey reflects decades of discoveries in insulin therapy, glucose monitoring, and diabetes care.
A reminder that biomedical research does not just change numbers in a paper. It changes lives.
For millions living with Type 1 diabetes, especially children, that matters. A quiet reminder that the disease may be part of your life, but it does not have to limit your dreams.

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome honestly makes way more sense than Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Because this condition was never just about “ovarian cysts” or fertility.

Women with PCOS are at higher risk for:
-type 2 diabetes
-heart disease
-fatty liver disease
-sleep apnea
-high blood pressure

Yet so many women are never properly counseled about these risks or referred for appropriate care early enough. As a cardiometabolic physician, I meet women in their 50s and 60s dealing with advanced disease who tell me:

“I wish someone had warned me earlier.”

We minimized PCOS by treating it like a niche reproductive issue instead of the systemic metabolic condition it often is.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix.

What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses.

The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there.

The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body.

PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%.

A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.
