In Comm OTH55/2026 published today, UN Special Procedures say loudly to the @ioc that the new blanket exclusion of intersex and female trans athletes from the Olympic and the invasive relevant tests are against current human rights standards; and ask about the process of adoption

The IOC’s policy is not a blanket exclusion. Every qualified athlete can participate – in the category of their sex: trans women (who are male, not ‘female trans’) and XY intersex in the male or open category.
