A women's group last week filed a civil complaint against the University of Pennsylvania for allowing Thomas to compete on its team for breaking Title 9, which was introduced to stop sexual discrimination in sport.
Otherwise you risk excluding young girls from their own sport at a time when it is imperative to both their physical and mental health. We already struggle to keep young girls engaged in sport. What's more, in contact sports this situation is a serious accident waiting to happen.
During the first stage, from about the age of six to 18 months, a baby slows in development, loses interest in play, stops making eye contact, starts walking awkwardly and makes repetitive hand movements.
She beat one female athlete to a place on the Pennsylvania team. She kept a second out of the semi-finals and another out of the final. The fourth-placed swimmer was denied a place on the podium and runner-up Emma Weyant, the first actual female in the race, lost out on being the NCAA champion.

They didn't. In fact, last year they dropped testosterone suppression as a requirement and prioritised the inclusion of transgender athletes over fair sport for females, in the process discriminating against half of the world's population.
By the end of the 2020-21 season, Olise had seven goals and 12 assists. He was the EFL Young Player of the Season. He earned an £8m move to Palace.
And now, after a frustrating early injury, he's showing what he can do on the biggest stage.
I could see this happening when the International Olympic Committee changed the rules so that trans women could compete in the women's category as long as they underwent a very limited period of testosterone suppression.

I'm always careful in what I say. I stick to the facts, and I use peer-reviewed science. I never insult anyone or rise to any provocation. But I refuse to back down because it's an important issue for the next generation of young women. Women like my own daughter, Grace, who was an athlete.
Sadly, the IOC constantly shirk their responsibility to protect the integrity of sport, as they did with the 15-year-old Russian ice skater, Kamila Valieva, who failed a drug test at the Beijing Winter Games.
