FINA is the international swimmers association.  They have just come down with a policy guidelines regarding transgender swimmers.  They have determined that transgender swimmers will not be able to compete as their "new" gender unless they began transition before age 12.  They were very definite in that they were NOT attempting to encourage anybody to begin sexual reassignment so early, merely that it gave biological men who transitioned AFTER puberty a huge competitive advantage that is essentially unfair to biological women.
