Lifesite news reports that recently the World Athletics Council voted to ban “transgender athletes” from elite races and other contests reserved for women only.  In other words, gender-confused men will not be allowed to compete at high-level international track and field events against women who live according to the way God made them. In its press release, the group says, “The Council decided to prioritize fairness and the integrity of the female competition before inclusion.”

Finally, an athletic organization showing courage, common sense, and fairness. The council’s press release also points out that research shows what common sense tells us: males have physical advantages over women in these competitions. We need more athletic organizations at every level of competition to follow the example of this Athletic Council.
