    events alike will be open to a whole new category of competition. As new competition arises, there will have to be measures placed to regulate these events. It is argued by Müller (2016) that sex is an arbitrary measure of who should be competing against each other in sports. Elite sporting agencies such as the IOC have no leniency when it comes to male and female competition. They are strictly prohibited from competing against each other based on said arbitrary measure.
