Thanks for the mention of 5-ARD. I looked it up.
This makes me slightly more sympathetic to these people. Nature, in its infinite variety, can also be cruel. Genetic failures do happen, and 5-ARD sounds like you appear to be a girl until puberty. You don’t produce DHT so you don’t have male external sexual characteristics. At puberty testosterone, that you do produce, then gives you muscle mass and other male characteristics.
Having said that. It is hard to believe that the modern Olympics, or all sports, are not testing for testosterone. Athletes shoot it into themselves. If tested levels are not lower for women, then something is wrong.
Also, these people are not women. They can never reproduce. Nature has been cruel to them, but that is no excuse to take it out on others. The same will have to be said of the far larger number of misfits we are now intentionally creating through perverted science.
They cannot help that they thought they were female and raised as female. Some of them are in backwater locales. Like rural Algeria.
But at this point, they know their situation. What they are doing is wrong. If they want to socialize as women then that would be understanding...but taking advantage of the situation like Caster Semenya is not something that sits well with many people. It is even worse when it involves a sport that could cause serious damage to opponent.
they both know there are tests that say they are XY. If they didn’t believe it they could appeal the decision or go out and get their own test.
They are XY
