Doriane Lambolet Colman: "A Victory For Female Athletes Everywhere"

Good news:
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) this week upheld the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) regulations governing eligibility for the women’s category in international elite athletics competition. In effect, CAS decided the question “who is a woman” for purposes of elite sport. And it ratified the IAAF’s preferred answer: A woman in sport is anyone whose legal identity is female—whether they personally identify as such or not—and who has testosterone (T) levels in the female range.
Not great news--the relevant madness has led some places to allow men to legally "identify" as women. But it does seem to be a significant step in the right direction.
