Good.

About time.

Thank fuck for that. Men can compete in their own sex category - the only thing they're banned from is cheating women.

Good. Another small step on the journey to return women's sport to women.

The wording of first paragraph is better than the headline (my bolding).

"Transgender women are increasingly likely to be banned from the female category across Olympic sport after another leading candidate to become International Olympic Committee president backed a new blanket."

Thank you for the link and archive.

We shall see (slightly Cassandra-y here)

Trans identifying males face blanket ban from female category.

Both your headline and the Telegraph’s is wrong.

I suppose “men will be finally stopped from competing against women” is too Onion-y.

"Banned from a sex category" isn't what I'd call a blanket ban? They are permitted to compete in their sex category, as I understand it, and as long as they comply with other policies like everyone else?

Fantastic. Although presumably there’s nothing to stop them competing with their own sex if they’re good enough.
