No one is stopping USA Track & Field or WA from updating their policy. If they do that before the start of 23-24 season, that will be the policy for NCAA track & field.
The same goes for all other NCAA sports.
The ball is in the court of World Athletics. It's unlikely that USATF will make a policy all by itself. So USATF will wait for World Athletics, but unfortunately World Athletics doesn't move very quickly.

I feel sorry for those women. And I can't believe I'm agreeing with someone named CrispyChicken.

Is she trans?
The fact that there are 40+ pages of yapping about the technical and procedural basis for allowing a biological male to compete and dominate against female athletes is bad comedy.

I was about to post this. Looks like Thomas sandbagged it. Had the second fastest time in the prelims and then goes considerably slower in the final. Maybe the cold reception after the 500 Free "win" had something to do with it.
This seems strangely appropriate.
Looks like international swimming has drawn a line...you go through puberty as a male, you will never race in women's events. Because once you go through that period you will have irreversible benefits. Sounds good to me.
The world governing body for swimming effectively barred transgender women from the highest levels of women’s international competition on Sunday, intensifying a debate over gender and sports that has roiled state legislatures and increasingly divided parents, athletes and coaches at all levels.
The vote by FINA, which administers international competitions in water sports, prohibits transgender women from competing unless they began medical treatments to suppress production of testosterone before going through one of the early stages of puberty, or by age 12, whichever occurred later. It establishes one of the strictest rules against transgender participation in international sports. Scientists believe the onset of male puberty gives transgender women a lasting, irreversible physical advantage over athletes who were female at birth.
We need more female athletes to speak out like this.
