The new policy requires transgender competitors to have completed their transition by the age of 12 in order to be able to compete in women's competitions.
Fina will also aim to establish an 'open' category at competitions for swimmers whose gender identity is different than their birth sex.
The policy was passed with 71% of the vote from 152 Fina members

Quote:Cycling's governing body, the UCI, has toughened its rules on transgender eligibility by doubling the period of time before a rider transitioning from male to female can compete.
Previous regulations required riders to have had testosterone levels below five nanomoles per litre (nmol/L) for a 12-month period prior to competition.
The UCI has changed the permitted level to 2.5 nmol/L for a 24-month period.

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
