☆ New Zealand to update inclusion guidelines for transgender athletes
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-09 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +2 min

New Zealand will update its guidelines on transgender athletes in community sport following criticism from Olympians that the principles ignore female athletes’ rights and undermine fairness and safety. Critics of transgender inclusion in women’s sport say going through male puberty imbues athletes with a huge musculo-skeletal advantage that transition does not mitigate. Supporters of transgender participation argue that not enough research has been done into the impact of transition on athletic performance and excluding transgender athletes amounts to discrimination. Sport NZ’s “Guiding Principles for the Inclusion of Transgender People in Community Sport” do not apply to elite sport. Individual sports in New Zealand govern how transgender athletes participate at elite levels.

Projected park closures and disruptions from Hurricane Milton could cut into Walt Disney 's earnings, according to Goldman Sachs analysts. Goldman Sachs reduced its estimate for Disney's fiscal 2025 earnings per share from $5.22 to $5.14. The storm is projected to make landfall around the Tampa area, which hasn't been hit directly by a hurricane since 1921. The storm is then projected to head toward Orlando, where Disney World is located, as it decreases in intensity. Spokespeople for Disney did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on the new earnings estimates.
