World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

“World Athletics asserts the SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. But biological sex is much more complex, with chromosomal, gonadal (testis/ovary), hormonal and secondary sex characteristics all playing a role.”

Sex testing is not only invasive, it’s also inaccurate.

We are especially lookin for Men ages 50+ from the community.

Please give us 40minutes of your time to
Improve trans muscle and bone healthcare 🙏

We will be continuing testing for our @transexhealthmmu.bsky.social 50+ trans muscle and bone health at @transpridebrighton on Saturday

What we are looking for:
Age 50 and above who are on hormone treatment.

We will be in Dorset Gardens from 11am to 6.30pm on the 19th of July.

That you get to see me again soon? 😅

Time to talk about our @transexhealthmmu.bsky.social at Sparkle Weekend in Manchester. Please share if you know anyone 50+ years old who has been on transmasuculine or transfeminine heath care.

Let’s get the data needed to tailor health care to transgender needs
