IOC should not use SRY test to determine gender of women's athletes, says scientist who discovered it.
In short:
The scientist who discovered the SRY gene test that the International Olympic Committee is now relying on to determine athletes' eligibility for women's events says it should not be used in such a fashion.
Andrew Sinclair said the SRY gene was not enough of a determining factor alone, and using it as such was an "overly simplistic" approach.
Professor Sinclair raised similar issues when World Athletics instituted a similar policy last year.
Fact: The last nine women who were prohibited from competition after failing an initial cheek swab were subjected to invasive secondary examinations to evaluate the effects of T.
This involved measuring & palpating their clitoris, vagina & labia, as well as evaluating their breast size & pubic hair scored on an illustrated five-grade scale.
All nine were subsequently cleared to participate as they were found to have zero advantage, but most experienced significant disruptions to their lives during this period.
Every version of sex testing collapses under scrutiny. That’s because most sports are organized according to a strict male-female binary. Nature isn’t. It is impossible to determine sex definitively.
Even geneticist and anatomist Murray Barr, of the eponymous Barr body, requested sport officials stop using the technique. “Buccal smear testing in the area of athletics is totally inappropriate,” he wrote. “Its use in this way has been an embarrassment to me.”
The @ioc return to genetic testing revives one of sport’s most damaging regulations.
The SRY test erroneously assumes that a single gene can definitively identify sex. Yet, science has never supported that claim.
Women with DSDs may carry the gene but develop as females, just as some men may lack it but develop as males.
The @IOC is wrong to suggest that sex testing protects women’s sport.
The reintroduction of these tests does not mark scientific progress, but institutional regression.
Sex testing has not, and will not, preserve fairness. Instead, it has caused and will cause irreparable harm to countless women.

We saw the very worst of sports in 2024. Truly a #MetooMoment in women's sports.
There were no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics.
So Putin, Trump, Dutton and both sides of politics in the UK manufactured them.

@Peter_Fitz First they attacked a woman with a very strong jawline on the USA rugby team that took bronze they assumed she was trans. Next it was Facebook users reviving claims American swimming legend Katie Ledecky is trans, because of her shoulder width and musculature.
@AntiTrumpCanada In the late 1980s, Donald and Ivana's marriage was beginning to unravel. Ivana stated in a sworn divorce deposition that Trump raped her in 1989 after physically assaulting her by ripping out clumps of her hair. Trump, and sat on the board of Trump Realty Brazil. #MeTooMoment 😔

@JaneCaro An Aboriginal woman is 22 times more likely to be incarcerated than a white Australian woman and she is likely to die more than a full decade before her white Australian sisters are. This is an Australian tragedy a #MetooMoment

@h_thoreson He was just "chatting you up" as the Brits would say for flirtation. Happens often to "cute birds," as the Brits would say, too. PS - hope this wasn't a #MeTooMoment. If so I blame the 1960s.
