transgender, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual or allies, LGBTQIA, group, is being greatly discriminated against in this country and the world over.
This vilification is at the centre of politics and race. It is one of the clearest indicators we have in the recent past about the organised power of global racism. These regulations by the IAAF are not concerned with standardising competitive sports. The main motivation is to eliminate exceptional women from Africa and the East from competing.
As recent as 2014, the IAAF tried to impose similar restrictions on Dutee Chand from India because they argued that her higher testosterone levels gave her undue advantage over other women competitors. She challenged this, and won.
However, the treatment of these women by the IAAF is not an isolated incident. It's part of a broader campaign to block black people from excelling in sports. Serena
