Athletics Australia's statement on World Athletics' transgender ban has copped a hammering. 😳 9WWOS Athletics
"These guidelines are underpinned by the principle of inclusion and are designed to ensure that athletics remains a sport that is welcoming and accessible to every Australian," said the Athletics Australia statement.
"It seems like they're not happy with it ... and that they're going to do everything they can to keep it so inclusive that it sacrifices the women's game, which is unfortunate," Strickler said. While Kiwi transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard has featured, and had success, in elite weightlifting, there are currently no transgender athletes competing in athletics internationally.There's a distinction between transgender athletes and competitors in the DSD bracket, meaning those with differences of sexual development, such as South Africa's Caster Semenya and Namibia's Christine Mboma.
