The International Olympic Committee Executive Board has "approved the consensus proposed by the IOC Medical Commission, which cites the conditions to be respected by an individual who has changed sex in order to take part in sports competitions." The conditions include legal recognition of their "new gender" and a minimum two-year period of postoperative hormone therapy. Does this mark the end of truly female participation in the Olympics? It would appear that the Olympics will, in effect, return to its original form: All-male competition.
