So what is an XXY female phenotype who has developed breasts, a uterus, and ovaries?

For all those that continue to say intersex is rare and you don’t need to consider them we now have two in the Olympics. I have seen previous women runners from China that sure looked like men. Were they intersex? maybe. But China was probably cheating!

I don’t know if the person who paralyzed the volleyball player in North carolina is just transgender or intersex.

If you are XY and decide to be a female it is one issue

If you are XO, or XYY, or XXY, etc it is another set of circumstances.

And once again, I will say that XX females can have PCOS, and adrenal glands issues that send testosterone up. And if they did a test, which Doctors don’t tend to do, on androstenedione (a steroid hormone) what do you do with those people. I fit into that category. Would I be banned?

The runners officials decided to make testosterone levels the issue. One of the runners did a lot of legal suing but she is still going to have to lower her levels to compete.
