Well, well, well. It only took a two-year investigation (how insane) to determine what most of us already know – men do not belong in women’s sport!

At last the return to reality has begun with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) determining that males should in fact be excluded from women’s Olympic sport.

It is no secret that men have an overwhelming advantage in strength, power and endurance. That is why there has been separate male and female categories all along.

Australian law will find itself in conflict with the new policy. At present it has been deemed ‘vilification’ for pointing out males in female sport and almost every state allows and protects males who wish to live out their fetish of being a woman in public.

Legislators have until 2032 to work it out when the Olympics are due to be hosted by Brisbane. Over the past decade or so several males have stolen spots in Olympic or Commonwealth Games events, with the most outrageous display being during the last Olympics when we were all forced to watch male boxers punch women in the head and call it “sport”.

Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, both males, were permitted to box in the female category during the Paris Games because their passports said they were women. This denial of reality put women in harm’s way and created an unfair, unsafe playing field.

Kirsty Coventry, the current IOC president, who was elected to the position 12 months ago, said she had campaigned on the issue for fairness and equality.

“I promised to do this and I wanted to make sure I was fulfilling it and I was not just a mouthpiece,’’ Ms Coventry said.

“We like to see sport is fair and equal treatment of everyone on the field of play, I felt very strongly around this. Knowing the sensitivity around this topic, it wasn’t enough going from a feeling, it needed to be led by medicine and science, and values.

“It’s taking these values and principles and bringing them together for a fair and safe opportunity on the field of play.’’

Some critics have said making athletes have cheek swabs to determine their DNA sex is invasive. They neglect to mention that all athletes must undergo random urine tests where they are forced to be naked below the waist with an observer present. One of Australia’s greatest games champions, weightlifter Deborah Acason, has previously described this detail. That process is far more invasive than a cheek swab!

Under the new policy elite female athletes will undergo a simple one-off cheek or saliva test to confirm the absence of a Y chromosome. Young women will be encouraged to have the test early in their international careers, including trying to qualify for the Youth Olympics.

The IOC medical director, Jane Thornton said the science shows men have a 10-12 per cent advantage in most running and swimming events, a 20 per cent advantage or more in throwing and jumping and greater than 100 per cent advantage in collision, lifting and punching sports. She added that the benefits were such that in contact sports “strength and power increase poses a safety risk to female athletes’’.

Australian sporting bodies still insist men can be women. They offer more protections and promotions for males living out their sexual fetishes on the sporting field than actual women. Sporting policies still reflect the denial of reality that men can transform into women.

The policies are harmful to women. They are unfair and unsafe and cause many women to self-censor or self-exclude from sport altogether.

Our laws will eventually return to reality. In the meantime I have been ordered to pay $95,000 in damages to two males in female sport. They should never have been there in the first place. My appeal will be heard in the NSW Supreme Court on May 25-26.

Regardless of the outcome, no man should ever be permitted to play in women’s sport and one day, the law in Australia will reflect this.
