Transgender women are banned for this reason
World Athlete has said in its statement that this ban has been done keeping in mind the “physiological benefits”. World Athletes has clarified that there are classification rules for male and female athletes. Keeping this classification in mind, these new rules have been made. Let us tell you that in the year 2013, weight lifter Laurel Hubbard participated in the women’s 87 kg category. Since then, there was a debate about the participation of transgender women in the Olympics. Laurel Hubbard competed in the men’s weight lifting matches. Laurel later became the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics. Hubbard resorted to hormone replacement therapy. After taking this therapy, Laurel started playing in the women’s section instead of the men’s section. She started breaking big records very easily. It was only after this that FINA decided to ban.
