they have tried to address it with things like

” In its report, the committee recommended that no woman be allowed to compete as a woman if she has a testosterone level of 10 nmols/liter or more unless she has a documented testosterone-insensitivity (androgen resistance), which would render her testosterone non-functional, and thereby not contribute to muscle strength, speed, and other parameters of performance.”

10 nmols puts a normal woman into the you better look for ovarian cancer category. Mine was nowhere near that high and everyone thought I had ovarian cancer due to masses.

After the obscenity that was the Rio women’s 800m, they had to do something. Unfortunately, the rulings only applied to the middle distances, 400-1500m, so DSD males were still allowed elsewhere in Tokyo.

Tokyo women’s 200m totally ruined. Three or four males competed. Two made the final (so two females did not). Male Christine Mboma, took 2nd. The third-fastest female, Shelly-Ann Frasier-Pryce left the stadium without a medal.
