Βρετανίδες αθλήτριες πρέπει να πληρώσουν μόνες τους (τρανσφοβικά) «τεστ φύλου» | Antivirus Magazine Αν θέλουν να διαγωνιστούν σε διεθνές επίπεδο, οι Βρετανίδες αθλήτριες αναγκάζονται να πληρώσουν μόνες τους «τεστ φύλου», ώστε να αποδειχθεί ότι πληρούν τα αντί-τρανς κριτήρια καταλληλόλητας. Η World Athletics, ο διεθνής οργανισμός για τον στίβο, απαιτεί από όλες τις αθλήτριες να υποβληθούν σε τεστ SRY πριν αγωνιστούν στην κατηγορία γυναικών σε όλα τα μεγάλα πρωταθλήματα και τις διοργανώσεις της Diamond League. Ο κανόνας αυτός έχει θεσπιστεί για να αποκλείσει τις τρανς γυναίκες και τα ίντερσεξ άτομα από τους αγώνες. Τα τεστ γονιδίου SRY χρησιμοποιούνται για την ανίχνευση της παρουσίας του χρωμοσώματος Υ μέσω επιχρίσματος από το μάγουλο ή δείγματος αίματος
