The world swimming’s governing body has effectively banned transgender women from competing in women’s events.

FINA members voted 71.5% in favor of its new gender inclusion policy that only permits swimmers who transitioned before age 12 to compete in women’s events.

A spokesperson for the organization says that the decision is not about encouraging athletes to transition by age 12, however that scientists are saying transitioning after puberty gives transgender women an unfair advantage.
