how long does it take to do a cheek swab and check XX vs XY?

it’s not rocket science, it’s high school science!

I thought gender tests were done by urinalysis. They give the athlete a specimen cup and send them into the bathroom. When the athlete emerges from the bathroom, the lab tech runs in to see if the toilet seat is up or down...

I read something about this today where it was indicated the results would take weeks to release because it was complicated.

Someone in the past was stripped of a medal because she wasn’t the sex that she thought she was because she had something in her test...and she tried to commit suicide.

Apparently, it can be quite complicated...and areas where there are shades of gray.
