#World #Athletics now mandates SRY gene tests to determine eligibility for women’s events — but the very scientist who discovered SRY says it’s flawed. Sex isn’t defined by one gene. This policy risks false exclusions & ignores complex biology. #SRY #SexTesting theconversation.com/world-athlet...
World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990
World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Sex testing in women's running wasn't built for trans athletes — it predates that fight by decades. Introduced in the 1960s to catch "men in disguise," it mostly flagged intersex women who'd always lived as female. #Running #RunningHistory #SexTesting #TheLongRun
