Original Note:
Trans women are not banned. The WSC has decided that trans women may compete if their T levels have been low enough for 1+ years and have not undergone male puberty. Sailing is physically demanding. Puberty and T results in an advantage that is considered unfair. https://www.sail-world.com/news/274851/World-Sailing-Transgender-Participation-Policy https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9331831/ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/blog/is-sailing-physically-demanding/
