Over 40,000 people urge International Olympic Committee to keep women’s sports for women.

Petition was hand-delivered to the International Olympic committee's headquarters in Lausanne , Switzerland .

The petition states that the organization’s policies have “prioritize[d] feelings over fairness—ideology over truth”.

Women have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports to males competing in women’s sports categories, according to the United Nations special rapporteur on violence against women and girls.

College athlete Chelsea Mitchell , who lost the Connecticut state championship title to a male athlete four times, has filed a lawsuit with ADF against her state's sports authority on the basis of unfair competition.
