女子职业网球协会（WTA）上月推出强制性基因检测政策，要求参加2028年洛杉矶奥运会的所有运动员接受SRY基因检测[1]。这一检测针对Y染色体上通常存在的DNA片段[1]。
网球运动员科科·高芙对该政策表示支持，认为有必要维护女子体育的公平性，但同时指出政策讨论方式存在问题。高芙表示："我同意保护女子体育的公平性。但我不喜欢它正在制造的攻击"[1]。她批评这一政策的推进过程过度政治化，引发了对跨性别群体的敌意，强调应当进行更具包容性的对话。
WTA在声明中阐述了其立场，表示："没有意图不尊重或质疑任何人的性别认同或尊严"[1]。此外，田径、滑雪和拳击等多个体育项目的管理机构已经采取了类似的强制性性别筛查措施[1]。人权专家和活动组织已对这一政策提出批评[1]。
Professional tennis player Coco Gauff has endorsed the Women's Tennis Association's newly implemented mandatory gene-testing policy for athletes competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, while simultaneously criticizing how the policy's discussion has become overly politicized and fostered hostility toward the transgender community [1].
The WTA introduced the compulsory screening requirement last month, which mandates testing for the SRY gene—a DNA segment typically found on the Y chromosome—for all athletes seeking to participate in the upcoming Olympic Games [1]. Gauff acknowledged the importance of protecting fairness in women's sports, stating: "I agree with protecting the integrity of women's sports. But I don't like the animosity it's creating" [1]. The organization itself stressed in a statement that it had "no intention to disrespect or question any person's gender identity or dignity" [1].
The gene-testing approach is not unique to tennis; athletic governing bodies in track and field, skiing, and boxing have already implemented similar mandatory sex-screening protocols [1]. However, human rights experts and advocacy organizations have voiced opposition to such policies [1].
