Abstract
Through examining recently passed regulations in the world of elite sports, this article analyses the situation of trans and intersex athletes from multiple perspectives. The
authors aim to provide insight into the current situation regarding the regulation of international sporting organisations. To achieve this, they have used various examples, regulations, and the opinions of elite athletes. The objective is to analyse the impact of the absence of regulation on female athletes at the elite level. It is important to understand where the line between discrimination and the need to give everyone a fair chance lies. In addition to sports, the article also looks at gender issues in other areas, such as the military and education.
