World Athletics is set to keep the door open for transgender women to compete at the highest level under a ‘preferred option’ proposal to be voted on in March
accepts that trans women “retain an advantage in muscle mass, volume and strength over cis women after 12 months” of hormone treatment – and that “the limited experimental data” suggests that those advantages continue after that.
However, World Athletics maintains that its preferred option would work as it would “allow significant changes, while still providing a path for eligibility of trans women and 46 XY individuals to compete in the female category”. “Both DSD and transgender regulations apply to athletes who are 46 XY individuals aiming at competing in the female category,” the consultation document states.
