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
They also have male levels (perhaps less, perhaps more) of testosterone, from my understanding. I thought doping was prohibited at the Olympics. How is this not doping?
Your statement about XY is provocative. Nature, it seems, is far more complex. In looking this up, I saw that there is a concept called “mosaicism”. An organism’s DNA may not be all the same. Different test sites can give different results.
There are also some X-only “women”, classified as such because no chromosome exists to say otherwise. This along with varied levels of degradation of the Y chromosome.
The upshot, to me, is that life is diverse and resilient. A species is a species, however, because the vast majority are not so diverse that they cannot reproduce. The Olympics (and sports in general) always has been the celebration of an ideal. Part of that ideal should be conformity to the species. Otherwise, what is the point?
