Recent “study” from a New Zealand University concludes:
“International Olympic Committee guidelines from 2015 permit transwomen to compete against cis-women if their testosterone is held below 10 nmol/L. However, this is much higher than that of cis-women. So should transwomen be allowed to compete in women’s events? The University of Otago researchers believe that they should, but that ‘the existing male/female categories in sport should be abandoned in favour of a more nuanced approach satisfying both inclusion and fairness. The best solution is to dump the male/female binary in sport, replacing it with an algorithm which takes into account gender identity, socioeconomic status and physiology.”

Who wants to program that algorithm?

As to the testosterone level, it’s not just current levels, it’s past history. If the “conversion” of an XX to pretend female occurs well after puberty, she/he/it has heavier bones and musculature, as well as narrower hips and more aerobic capacity, then a regular XY woman.

Well, it might be fun to program up. But no one should have to.
