Swimming: Will swimming's transgender ruling lead to wider change in sport?

Note the dilemma or irony here....on the one hand, u want to be inclusive in order to be fair, but in doing so, u r being unfair to the women if u let them compete in the same category as transgenders....Compare with affirmative actions in general which are meant to help, protect and include the weaker lot, but how in doing some, u r being unfair to those deemed 'stronger'. Think privileges accorded to bumiputera in Malaysia and women in general.

The policy is the strictest in any Olympic sports body and effectively bars any transgender women who have gone through male puberty from competing in women's events.

Those who campaigned for change argued that people who have gone through male puberty have physical advantages over those who were born female. 

The ruling also only impacts transgender athletes in women's competitions. Female-to-male transgender athletes (transgender men) will continue to be eligible to compete in men's races without any restriction.

Last year, New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard became the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics in a different gender category than assigned at birth.
