Insanity & Political Correctness at the IOC

George Orwell, 1984: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. That was their final, most essential command".

The Party must have also told the IOC to reject the evidence of science and biology because DEI and political correctness are more important than facts:

International Olympic Committee President Says Chromosomes Don’t Determine Sex: ‘Not True Anymore’

"The president of the Olympics’s governing body no longer believes in basic human biology when it comes to determining a person’s biological sex, a testament to the influence of progressive gender ideology across many major institutions.

"International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach suggested during a press conference Friday that identifying people’s biological sex based on their chromosomes is outdated. His comments came in response to a question about the recent controversy over two boxers competing in the women’s division after failing sex-identification tests administered by an outside sports body last year.

This is not a question of inclusion…this is a question of justice,” Bach said in response to a question about whether inclusion is being prioritized over women’s safety. He cast doubt on the results of the International Boxing Association test that resulted in the disqualification of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu Ting ahead of the world boxing championships last year.

“It is not as easy as some may, in this culture war, may now want to portray it, that the XX or the XY is the clear distinction between the men and women. This is scientifically not true anymore, and therefore these two are women and they have the right to participate in the women’s competition,” Bach added.

"His comments align with the IOC’s “portrayal guidelines,” which hew to left-wing views on gender and biological sex determinations.

“A person’s sex category is not assigned based on genetics alone and aspects of a person’s biology can be altered when they pursue gender-affirming medical care,” the guidelines say, euphemistically referring to life-altering transgender medical procedures."

So because of a tiny minority of complainers, men's and women's sports are turned completely upside down. Reason, science, facts, and common sense have been thrown out the window. Scientists, geneticists, and doctors who have brains should stand up for what's right, and stop this nonsense before it gets completely out of hand. Also, get rid of the ridiculous PC language like "pregnant people", stop putting feminine hygiene products in the men's room, and grow up already!
