The actual CrossFit announcement uses the term 'gender assigned at birth'. My concern: aren't a lot of the parents, who socially transition and puberty-block their kids, having the kids' birth certificates changed? Does anyone know the latest on birth certs?

FYI, Here is the complete gender section from the Crossfit page:

9.01 – GENDER CLASSIFICATION POLICY [NEW] All athletes are welcome to participate in CrossFit Games events. However, to maintain fairness and the integrity of the competition, athletes must compete in the division corresponding to their gender assigned at birth.

9.02 – PARTICIPATION IN ALL STAGES OF COMPETITION Athletes must register and compete in the gender division corresponding to their gender assigned at birth for all stages of the CrossFit Games, including the Open, Community Cup, Semifinals, In-Person Qualifying Events, and Finals.

This policy applies universally, and no exceptions will be granted based on legal, medical (except as noted below), or personal documentation that reflects a gender other than the athlete’s gender assigned at birth.

In the rare case of a disorder of sex development (DSD; also referred to as an intersex condition) determinations will be made on an individual basis and may include classification for competition in a division other than the gender assigned at birth.

9.03 – CHALLENGES TO AN ATHLETE’S GENDER CLASSIFICATION Any athlete may confidentially challenge the eligibility of another athlete under this policy by submitting a written request to support@crossfitgames.com.

CrossFit reserves the right to request verification of an athlete’s gender assigned at birth to ensure compliance with this policy. All challenges will be reviewed and resolved in a manner that prioritizes athlete privacy.
