The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is facing controversy over its decision to allow a transgender athlete, a 50-year-old biological male and blind runner who won 11 national titles, to compete in women's sprinting events at the upcoming Paris Paralympic Games. IPC President Andrew Parsons has defended the decision, emphasizing the importance of treating transgender athletes fairly and respectfully. The discussion has sparked debate over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports, with some citing scientific evidence and decisions by other sports organizations, such as World Athletics, which have taken a different stance on the issue.
