Apparently they are just going to pass the buck and make the sporting federations set their own criteria etc.

Then they will probably sit back, point their fingers and say how unfair it is if any of the federations do the decent thing and refuse any male entry into female sports.

Cowards.

Not fair because it provides a (minimal) barrier to any male participating in women's sports?

Hmm, I'll wait and see. The backlash this has caused should result in a proper, serious, science based rethink, we'll see. Scrutiny, vigilance and pressure needs to continue to be applied.

Some of that is so mealy mouthed, open to interpretation, it is comical!

And this... The other important thing to remember is that trans women are women.

It isn't going to be fair to women! Oh no!

No it's not good news.

I suspect they are going to make things way worse given what they've said:
