Good afternoon, and welcome to ChatShow, bringing you this recording on Friday the 6th of November, twenty twenty-six, in the afternoon. This show is about the United States, and our question is who should decide whether transgender women compete in women's events at the Olympics and major athletics meets, and whether USA Athletics should adopt a fixed testosterone cutoff or case-by-case eligibility by 2028. I'm Denzai, moderating. We have fifteen minutes with Gwen, Gupta and Grokov. Gwen, let's start with you: walk us through who sets eligibility today, whether that is the IOC, World Athletics, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, USA Track and Field, the courts or the federal government. Where does real authority sit for an American athlete heading toward Los Angeles 2028?
